Manipuri-language film Boong, which recently became the first Indian film to win a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award, is set for a wider re-release in theatres on March 6.

The film released in India last year on September 19.

Written and directed by Lakshmipriya Devi and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment along with Chalkboard Entertainment and Suitable Pictures, Boong won the BAFTA in the Best Children’s & Family Film category. It secured the prestigious win while competing against major international titles such as Zootopia 2 (2025), Lilo & Stitch (2025), and Arco (2025).

The makers took to their social media handles to share a new poster of the film to make the announcement. “A journey of innocence, love and resilience. Witness India's first BAFTA Award winning film, in cinemas on 6th March,” they captioned the post.

Boong revolves around a little boy who plans to surprise his mother with a gift. In his innocence, he believes that bringing his absentee father back home would be the most special gift.
