The first-ever Indian film to win a BAFTA, Excel Entertainment, Chalkboard Entertainment and Suitable Pictures’ Boong, is now set to return to theatres with a wider release on 6th March and the makers have launched a new poster to announce the release date. The film recently achieved a historic global milestone by becoming the first Indian film to win a BAFTA, receiving the honour in the Best Children’s & Family Film category at the 79th British Academy Film Awards in London. Boong secured the prestigious win while competing against major international titles such as Zootopia 2, Lilo & Stitch, and Arco, marking a defining moment for Indian cinema on the global stage.
The makers took to their social media handles to share the new poster with the caption:
“A journey of innocence, love and resilience. Witness India’s first BAFTA Award winning film, in cinemas on 6th March.”
Written and directed by Lakshmipriya Devi, the story of Boong revolves around a little boy who plans to surprise his mother with a gift. In his innocence, he believes that bringing his absentee father back home would be the most special gift. Boong’s search for his father disintegrates his world but culminates into an unexpected gift.
After earning global acclaim and bringing home a landmark BAFTA honour for India, Boong now gears up for its big-screen journey, arriving in cinemas again on March 6.
