Matto Ki Saikal starring Prakash Jha will be premiering in US at the 17th South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) in New York. The event will be held this year from December 16th to 20th.
Because of the ongoing pandemic situation, the organizers decided to have an online edition of the festival this year. the official website of SAIFF is showcasing Matto Ki Saikal today and it will be available tomorrow as well only in the US region.
“I was quite moved by the story of Matto, it is a simple story which beautifully reveals the complex layers of the Indian society living on the margins,” said Prakash Jha.
The story of the movie revolves around a daily-wage laborer named Matto. To ear for his family of four, he travelled to the city on his cycle. This film shows how he and his family negotiate the simple pleasures of life.
The film is directed by debutant filmmaker M. Gani and produced by debutant producer Sudhirbhai Mishra. Matto KI Saikal had its world premiere at the 25th Busan International Film Festival this year.
