Produced by Mukesh Modi and written and directed by Anushi Sharma, KHOONTA delivers a compelling social message about humanity's relationship with nature. Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the film reminds viewers that nature is not something to be exploited, but respected and protected.

Audience members shared overwhelmingly positive reviews, calling KHOONTA "a masterpiece with a purpose,""one of the most meaningful independent films of the year," and "a film every generation should watch." Several attendees expressed their belief that KHOONTA deserves international recognition and encouraged the producers to submit the film for the Academy Awards (Oscars), stating that its universal message and artistic excellence have the potential to resonate with audiences around the world.

 

Producer Mukesh Modi expressed his gratitude to everyone who attended the premiere, saying:

"Our mission was not only to tell a compelling story but also to remind people that nature is our greatest blessing. We must protect it for future generations. The incredible response from the New York audience has strengthened our belief that meaningful cinema can inspire positive change."

 

Following its successful Cannes Market premiere and multiple international awards, KHOONTA continues to earn praise from audiences across the globe. With its powerful environmental message, emotional storytelling, and universal appeal, the film is steadily establishing itself as one of the year's most impactful independent feature films.

As the audience left the theater, one message echoed throughout the evening:
