’. The film has been selected and awarded at many prestigious festivals and awards, and now Ram Kamal has bagged the Best Director International for ‘Rickshawala’ at
Global Film and Music Festival
in Virginia at USA. He was nominated along with other filmmakers from France, Iran and Australia.
‘Rickshawala’ stars
Avinash Dwivedi,
Sangita Sinha and
Kasturi Chakraborty in the lead. Cinematographer Modhura Palit captured the essence of Kolkata beautifully through her lenses, while Neerajan Saha scored the heart touching background score that enriches the narrative.
An excited Ram Kamal dedicated this award to his team and all the migrants facing issues of unemployment in India. "I am overwhelmed. I can't believe the amount of adulation this film is getting from audiences and jury members. This was one the toughest film to execute and I am glad that we managed to do it rightly, says the talented filmmaker. He feels that being an independent filmmaker, global recognition makes a lot of difference. "Hope producers and studios will take me seriously, as I want to do good content. All I am expecting is a bit of support from our Indian film industry," he added.
