Kundaalu કુંડાલુ (or Circle in Gujarati) is a Gujarati feature film, written and directed by Rohit Prajapati, produced by 3 Peepul Productions in association with Geet Theatre.
કુંડાલુ ‘Kundaalu’ (or ‘Circle’) is a portrayal of rural life in northern Gujarat (India), where marriage is of paramount importance in society. The story revolves around Mangu and Vikas, whose paths intersect but are torn apart by a tragic turn of events. We follow their journey, as they eke out their lives, voiceless, unseen and uncared for, within the rigid confines of a society bound by its traditions and customs.
A drama, slice-of-life film in Mehsani, a dialect of Gujarati, the film has been shot in picturesque locales in the villages of Mehsana in north Gujarat. With a gripping story and screenplay, power packed performances by the cast, taut direction, and melodious music to elevate the story, Kundaalu is ready to take the audience on a journey of emotions.
Kundaalu is nominated and will be screened at the acclaimed Jaipur International Film Festival JIFF-2024, to be held from 9-13 February 2024 at Jaipur. A huge achievement for the debut film of the writer-director and the producers!
