Movie-going, as a community-centric activity, has unfortunately been stalled along with several other activities due to the coronavirus pandemic. With evolving technologies, film producers have actively sought out OTT platforms over the past few weeks to entertain us. One such animated film has been making the right noise for breaking quite a few barriers. Punyakoti is India’s first crowd-funded animation film, made completely in Sanskrit. Cherry on top? It has music maestro Ilaiyaraaja scoring the soundtrack and veteran actress Revathi lending her voice to the lead character – Punyakoti.
Punyakoti has won accolades at international film festivals for its rich storytelling. While the film is currently available on Netflix, the filmmakers aim to reach a wider audience and have partnered with BookMyShow for an online screening of their movie. Much like an online live streaming event, the viewers would receive a unique link once tickets are purchased. Punyakoti is up for online shows starting from 11 July 2020. “The onus lies on us, Indian cine-lovers to promote Punyakoti. Sanskrit is India’s rich culture and heritage that we must be incredibly proud of, and preserve through endeavours like these,” says filmmaker Ravishankar signing off.
