Content-based on thought-provoking ideas and narratives have seen a boom in recent times, few of which have even gone on to represent India at esteemed international festivals. Karenvir Bohra’s latest film, `Kutub Minar` (The Eighth Wonder) has bagged the prestigious mention for Best Feature Film at The Berlin Indie Film Festival 2021. Directed by Raaj Aashoo, and produced by Pancham Singh, the film narrates the story of a remarkable father-son duo, where the latter suffers from a rare condition of having an abnormally large reproductive organ, called macro-phallus. The film managed to break out of the deep corners of Indian independent cinema and made a mark at the global stage.
On Kutub Minar winning big at the BIFF, Karenvir Bohra said, “I don’t want to reveal much about the movie because you have to see the film to know what this eighth wonder Kutub Minar is all about. At the Film Festival when they saw it, they were surprised to see such a bold concept but still a slice of life kind of movie. It really came as a dream to us when the Berlin Indie Film Festival emailed saying you can download your certificate of victory. We thought this email would state `thank you for participating, better luck next time`, because you don’t really expect your film to be appreciated at the global level. But this time it happened to us and Kutub Minar was chosen amongst all the movies in Asia. It is a huge deal for all of us and keeping our fingers crossed we`ve applied for a lot of other festivals and I hope we keep breaking grounds like this and keep making movies like this”.
