Entertainment Report :
Filmmaker Kamar Ahmad Simon’s Neel Mukut was slated for release on March 27, 2020. However, the film had to be indefinitely postponed amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Over a year has passed since the last announcement. The wait is finally over, as Neel Mukut is set to premiere on streaming platform Chorki on August 8, which also happens to be Kamar’s birthday.
The director has said that even though OTT platforms were always an option for Neel Mukut, he was determined to release the film in theatres. But now, in the face of another strict lockdown and the increasing cases of Covid-19 around the country, he had to rethink his plans.
Kamar’s debut movie Shunte Ki Pao! received a National Film Award and several prestigious international accolades, including Du Reel’s Grand Prix and Mumbai International Film Festival’s Golden Conch.
