The Indian Panorama at the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2023, is set to feature the compelling movie ‘Mandali’ along with distinguished films such as ‘Kantara’ and ‘The Kerala Story,’ among others. Out of a vast array of 408 contemporary Indian feature films, 25 outstanding feature films have been carefully selected to represent the vibrancy and diversity of the Indian film industry.
Directed by Rakesh Chaturvedi Om, ‘Mandali’ delves into the unsettling exploitation of Ramleela, as it incorporates explicit dances for financial gain in small towns. The film boasts a talented ensemble cast including Rajniesh Duggall, Brijendra Kala, Aanchal Munjal, Abhishek Duhan, and Vineet Kumar in pivotal roles.
