==Plot==
Jeerjimbe follows the trail of a schoolgirl Rudri - carefree as a butterfly, whose single-minded wish in life is to ride a bicycle of her own. Till she discovers life, and the complexities and struggles that beleaguer a teenager in rural India, that is. Astride her government-issued bicycle, Rudri persists past the ups and downs facing her, and asserts her selfhood, identity and agency in face of child marriage and other societal constraints.

==Production==
In an interview with Times of India, the director said, "''Jeerjimbe'' is a story of adventures of a 13-year-old girl from a remote village in Karnataka. The story is based on the emotional struggles of a girl when a bicycle enters her life as part of the free cycles programmes provided by the government to all high-school children in rural areas".<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/jeerjimbe-the-story-of-a-girl-coming-of-age/articleshow/61100626.cms|title=Jeerjimbe, the story of a girl coming of age - Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> The film was made through a crowd funding campaign and was later backed by producer Pushkara Mallikarjunaiah.<ref name="auto"/>
