Feature: RANVIR SHOREY STARRER HALKAA Wins Grand Prix For Best Film At The Kinolub Festival, Poland

After winning the Grand Prix De Montreal at the 21st Montréal International Children's Film Festival, Nila Madhab Panda's next feature, Halkaa bags another Grand Prix for the best film at the Kinolub Festival for Children and Youth, Poland.

The jury stated while presenting the award, "We awarded the Grand Prix to the film Halkaa for courage in undertaking a difficult subject and presenting it in an original and light way, accessible to the young viewer. The added value for the Polish audience is the opportunity to learn about the realities of living in a culturally remote country."

The child protagonist, Pichku fights for the basic problem that he faces everyday; defecating in the open amongst others. It is his dream to make a toilet of his own where he can enjoy his privacy and do the deed in peace.

The light-hearted film features child actor Tathastu as Pichku, and Ranvir Shorey and Paoli Dam essay the role of his parents.

Halkaa is selected at many prestigious international children's film festivals this year including 58th International Film Festival for Children and Youth. It including Czech Republic, International Film Festival SCHLINGEL, Germany, Tel Aviv Int'l Children's FF, Israel, Buster in Denmark.

Presented by Shiva Nadar Foundation and produced by Roshni Nadar Malhotra in association with Akshay Parija and Nila Madhab Panda, Halkaa is set to release on 31st August.
