Reconnection Wins Jury Special Mention at Indian Cine Film Festival

Reconnection Wins Jury Special Mention

More than 1300 films were submitted for the Indian Cine Film Festival. Out of that 116 passed through the selection. From these lucky ones our ‘Reconnection’, a film about Vrindavan, has won the Jury Special Mention Award, that was presented to us by Indian filmmaking legend G.L. Bhardwaj, who began his career as an assistant to Raj Kapoor and made acclaimed films like “Shocking Asia” and “Shree 420”. Listen to him speaking as he compares “Reconnection” to his own film ‘Land of Krishna’ that won multiple International and National nominations including Presidential award. We were so humbled yet honored to receive the award from him!

  • My film ‘Land of Krishna’ made several international and national awards, but [Reconnection] has done it much better!

— G.L. Bhardwaj, the legendary filmmaker that worked with Raj Kapoor, famous for his films ‘Shocking Asia’ and ‘Shree 420’
