In a major international milestone for Indian cinema, the feature film Kidney has been selected for the prestigious Critics’ Picks Competition at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF).
PÖFF, held annually in Estonia, is globally recognised as one of the elite 15 A-list film festivals.
Notably, Kidney stands out as the sole Indian title chosen for the Critics’ Picks lineup this year. The dark comedy feature is directed by brother duo Aakarsh Sansanwal and Agrim Sansanwal.
Further bolstering its indie credibility, the project is co-produced by acclaimed producer Shiladitya Bora under his banner, Platoon One Films.
Alongside the official festival announcement, the makers also unveiled the film’s first-look poster, offering a glimpse into the distinctive world crafted by the Sansanwal Brothers.
Partnering with Platoon One Films—known for championing strong, auteur-driven voices—the selection at an A-list venue like Tallinn Black Nights sets a strong global foundation for Kidney ahead of its premiere.
