NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — FROM CANNES TO LONDON TO KOLKATA: ‘KHOONTA’ CONTINUES ITS WINNING JOURNEY WITH BEST INDIAN FEATURE FILM AWARD
Mukesh Modi’s KHOONTA Adds Another Best Indian Feature International Achievement After Cannes Market Premiere and Best Foreign Feature Film Honor in London
New York / Kolkata, 2026 — The award-winning Indian feature film KHOONTA continues to make its mark on the international film circuit, adding another prestigious recognition to its growing journey.
Following its Market Premiere Screening at Cannes in May 2026 and its subsequent win for Best Foreign Feature Film at the London Independent Film Awards, KHOONTA has now been honored with the Best Indian Feature Film Award by the Indian Movie Awards in Kolkata, India.
The latest recognition marks another significant milestone for KHOONTA as the film continues its journey from an international showcase at Cannes to award recognition in London and India.
Written and Directed by Anushi Sharma and Produced by international filmmaker Mukesh Modi, KHOONTA is a powerful and emotionally driven story set against the breathtaking yet fragile landscape of the Himalayas. The film explores love, loss, faith, human choices, and the relationship between people and nature while carrying an important environmental message.
At the heart of KHOONTA is the belief that nature must be respected, not challenged or exploited. Through an intimate human story, the film reminds audiences that actions against nature can have consequences far beyond what we imagine.
Producer Mukesh Modi expressed his gratitude following the latest recognition:
“KHOONTA was created not only as a film, but as a message. We wanted audiences to feel the beauty of nature, understand its power, and recognize our responsibility to protect it. From our Cannes Market Premiere to winning Best Foreign Feature Film in London and now Best Indian Feature Film in Kolkata, every recognition gives us greater confidence that this message is reaching people. I am deeply grateful to our entire cast and crew and to everyone who has supported KHOONTA on this journey.”
The film’s growing recognition reflects an extraordinary journey:
Cannes, France — Market Premiere Screening, May 2026
London, United Kingdom — Best Foreign Feature Film, London Independent Film Awards
Kolkata, India — Best Indian Feature Film, Indian Movie Awards
With recognition spanning France, the United Kingdom and India, KHOONTA is building momentum as it reaches audiences internationally.
KHOONTA — A Story of Love, Loss & Life
From the Himalayas to Cannes, from London to Kolkata, KHOONTA’s journey continues — carrying an Indian story and a universal message to the world.
