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 — KHOONTA, the award-winning Indian feature film, keeps building its reputation on the global festival circuit, securing yet another notable accolade in its expanding run.
After its Market Premiere Screening at Cannes in May 2026 and then winning Best Foreign Feature Film at the London Independent Film Awards, KHOONTA has now received the Best Indian Feature Film Award from the Indian Movie Awards in Kolkata, India.
This latest recognition is another important achievement for KHOONTA as the film progresses from an international showcase at Cannes to earning awards in both London and India.
Written and Directed by Anushi Sharma and Produced by international filmmaker Mukesh Modi, KHOONTA is a compelling, emotionally charged narrative set against the stunning yet fragile Himalayan landscape. The movie delves into love, loss, faith, human decisions, and the bond between people and nature, while conveying a vital environmental message.
At its core, KHOONTA holds the conviction that nature deserves respect, not defiance or exploitation. Through an intimate human tale, the film reminds viewers that actions taken against the natural world can lead to consequences far beyond our anticipation.
Producer Mukesh Modi shared his appreciation after this latest honor:
“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 acclaim highlights an impressive path:
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 gathering momentum as it connects with audiences worldwide.
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.
