Bhubaneswar: Odia movie ‘Kalira Atita’, directed by Nila Madhab Panda, is out of the Oscars 2021 race. Panda in a social media post stated that the movie is out of the Oscar nomination race. But Panda mentioned he would continue to talk about climate issues through the movie.
Kalira Atita revolves around the story of a disillusioned young man, who has already survived a cyclone and is yet to experience another one. It is about human fears, the uncertainty of life, and human triumph over everything. The film also talks about climatic change and the effects of it in the future.
The film was earlier screened in the International Film Festival of India 2020 last month and garnered huge appreciations. Popular actor Pitobash Tripathy plays the protagonist in the film.
