Jugnuma: The Fable
Hindi with English subtitles (119 mins)

Set against the backdrop of the late 1980s, Jugnuma tells the story of Dev, an orchard owner in the Himalayas tormented by the strange phenomenon of trees mysteriously catching fire overnight. His quest to uncover the cause leads him deep into long-buried family secrets and haunting local folklore.

Filmed entirely on celluloid, this evocative tale weaves together myth, memory and reality, creating a poetic, dreamlike experience that lingers beyond time.

Directed by Raam Reddy
Written by Varun Grover, Raam Reddy & Siddhaarth Arora Sahar

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Shubhra Gupta, Film Critic, The Indian Express.
