Four girls. One uniform. One dream.
Set in the Officers’ Training Academy, this is the story –
Of Bijli Bijarnia aka Billi, the girl with feline grace and lightning-fast reflexes, determined to tear through the social taboos of Haryana hinterland from where she hails. She’s resolutely follows her dreams.
Of Lakmenlang Zyiem aka Lakme from Shillong, the optimistic law graduate who is the first Khasi girl to join the academy. Kind-hearted, she happily lends her shoulder to dejected cadets.
Of Shiny Joseph from Kottayam, who only joins the academy to be near her boyfriend but finds herself pitted against him more often than not. A brilliant engineer, she excels in whatever she decides to do.
Of Nutan Patil aka Nutty from Jalna, the mimic, the incurable romantic, the effervescent drama queen. The toughest of punishments cannot dampen the spirit of the perpetual prankster.
The Girls in Green is a story not only about soaring ambition and punishing military regimens but also about gratifying rewards and the joys of friendship. It is a hilarious story of youth, optimism, camaraderie and spirit.
