The movie directed by young director Shubhashish Bhutiani has also won the coveted Best Film Award in the festival.

While director Shubhashish Bhutiani won the Best Director Award, David Huwiler and Michael Mcsweeney won the Best Cinematographer Award for the same movie.

Produced by Sanjay Bhutiani, the film is a poignant drama about a son who is forced to set his job aside to accompany his elderly father to the holy city of Varanasi.

The film Mukti Bhawan is based on relationships and family written and directed by Shubhashish Bhutiani.

It’s a film that follows the story of a reluctant son who must take his father to the holy city of Varanasi, where his father believes he will breathe his last and attain salvation.

Adil’s character Rajeev is forever flailing between the pragmatic and the profound, wondering if his father’s readiness for death makes any sense at all, and also questioning whether the hotel that promises salvation is itself haunted.
