Sharing his joy, Nila Madhab Panda says, “It’s a new treat in children cinema space in India. I have tried to express words like “fantasy” “dreams” “aspiration” in a child’s term as a 9-year-old can imagine. Yet it’s a complicated adult’s world and how he imagined a life in that space, and It’s a nostalgia to have the world premiere at FIFEM Montreal. As I Had a premiere and got award also. Such a great feeling to have Halka to be part of the competition.”
