The event was concluded by Mayank Shekhar, Festival Director, Jagran Film Festival who said, “This year at Jagran Film Festival, we bring to you films that are unique and films that are not in theatres. All of these films have been thoughtfully curated by us and a selection jury that has watched hundreds of movies before narrowing them down to the best. I give you a festival guarantee that you will not walk out of any movie, not having loved it. The movies we have this year will expand your horizons in terms of what a film can be.”
