Entertainment Report :
Kamar Ahmad Simon’s much awaited
fictional documentary film Neel Mukut will premiere in the video streaming platform Chorki in August. Simon was adamant on releasing his film locally instead of premiering it first at an international festival.
In an interview to a local media, he said “I believe that international film festivals are definitely important for a director, but films should not be made only for festivals.”
The docu-fiction was supposed to be released last year but due to the rise of Covid-19 cases and closure of cinema halls, the theatrical release of the movie was suspended. Simon briefing details on the story of his film, said, “If Neel (blue) is the colour of pain and crown a symbol of power, then this movie is surely different in that sense. The film has no story at all. I was on a flight to Europe when I heard a cry and I kept thinking about it. I followed the cry and spent most of the time writing some sequences about the melancholy.”
