Directed by Madhureeta Anand, Independent film 'Kajarya' has
been selected to be showcased in the 'Focus on World Cinema' section at the
prestigious Montreal World Film Festival 2014, 21st August - 1st September.
An assured second feature from the director, the film is an
original voice about female foeticide in India. It is a story of a rookie
journalist in Delhi who exposes a woman, believed to embody Goddess Kali, who
ritually kills female newborns in a village nearby. The story questions notions
of women’s emancipation and feminism as it weaves through an interplay of drama
and events and explores how India continues to live in many centuries at the
same time.
'Kajarya' stars Meenu Hooda, Ridhima Sud and Kuldeep Ruhil.
The film had its world premiere at the Dubai International Film Festival. It
has found critical appreciation internationally since and has been selected by
the Forbes India magazine as the #1 in the Top 5 Films to See in 2014. 'Kajarya'
is produced by Starfire Movies and co-produced by Ekaa Films and Overdose
Joint.
