From the very beginning, we knew we were working on something special, but to see the love and appreciation it has received on such a grand stage is beyond words. Winning the award for 'Best Feature Film' and a standing ovation is a true honor, and it fills us with immense pride.

To witness the audience's emotional connection with the film, especially on a global platform like the Chicago South Asian Film Festival, is humbling. It's moments like these that remind us of why we do what we do—cinema has the unique power to transcend borders, connect people across cultures, and evoke emotions that are universally understood. Being part of this journey has been nothing short of magical."
