Kaphal is my new film for the Childrens Film Society, India.
‘Kaphal’ means ‘wild berries’. It is a story based in a hilly village of Garhwal, where 2 young boys, Makar and Kamru find that a father coming back home after 5 years is less a pleasure, and more a pain. Their attempts to get rid of him are spurred on by their mischievous friends, Bupi and Pusu. But when they meet a young shepherdess, Ghungra, who claims to be the granddaughter of the local witch, Pagli Dadi, their adventures take a new turn.

This sounds like fun!
I certainly hope it will be, Dipali.
I just found the kaphal blog madam!
Good, Ankur.
Good luck & Godspeed.
Thank you, Imam, and so glad you dropped by.
I am not sure this film will be released with pomp and fanfare a la SOTY. So could we get a pirated version or the address of the grey market?
How could we get a copy? I am going to be in Delhi soon for a few weeks. If there is any chance of seeing it, buying it, please let me know.
Bawa, I am still finishing the film, and I don’t think DVD copies will be available for another 4-5 months at least. I’ll let you know when it’s ready.
