Excel Entertainment along with Chalkboard Entertainment and Suitable Pictures has achieved another remarkable milestone with Boong being selected for the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF).
Farhan Akhtar-Ritesh Sidhwani backed Boong to premiere at 49th Toronto Film Festival
Boong follows Boong, a young boy from the valley of Manipur, who plans to surprise his mother with a gift. In his innocence, he believes that bringing his father back home would be the most special gift. His search for his father leads to an unexpected gift – a new beginning.
Director Lakshmipriya Devi, who has always aspired to tell stories, chose to direct Boong only when a story from her own experiences emerged. This narrative organically developed while seeking closure from a difficult part of her childhood in Manipur, a place she calls home in the northeastern corner of India. Drawing from her experience as a First Assistant Director on landmark Indian productions such as Luck by Chance, Talaash, PK, and A Suitable Boy, Devi makes her directorial debut with Boong.
Boong will have a World Premiere in the Discovery section at the 49th Toronto Film Festival, taking place September 5-15, 2024.
Boong is a bittersweet reflection of her memories of Manipur, demonstrating the production house's dedication to bringing heartfelt and impactful stories to the forefront of global cinema.
