Based on an age old taboo surrounding widows in Vrindavan and Varanasi in India, the movie was the only Indian film with a special screening at the Marche Du Film Section at Cannes on 15th May 2019. Besides, the film was also screened and showcased in various Film Festivals across the world. We congratulate Vikas for a successful and important debut.
