Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Joram has been selected to be screened at Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) and the Sydney Film Festival. Also featuring Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, the film has been previously screened at the 52nd International Film festival of Rotterdam and has also been a part of the FBR section of the Viewing Room at NFDC’s Film Bazaar, earlier in 2022.
It will be screened at the Sydney Film Festival next week and at DIFF next month.
Directed by Devashish Makhija, Joram is a psychological thriller about a hunted displaced man who is on the run to protect his daughter. The film also deals with issues such as social inequalities, injustice with the tribal communities and deforestation. Describing the film as an “emotionally-charged survival thriller”, Devashish said, “It’s a story of a tribal man being chased by powerful forces who want him dead. He has to stay on the run to keep his infant daughter alive.”
“We are thrilled by all the recognition this film is garnering on the international circuit, and are really excited to be in competition at the Durban International Film Festival,” he added.
Manoj Bajpayee also said, “I am fascinated with all the love that the film is garnering at the global level. I am also delighted that now the film is going to the Durban International Film Festival.”
Joram also features Tannishtha Chatterjee and Rajshri Deshpande in special appearances.
