Hare Krishna Pictures’ emotional feature, written and directed by Sonu Randeep Choudhury, will be showcased as part of the market's curated selection of impactful independent films.

Set in the rustic town of Shree Dungargarh, Bikaner, Rajasthan Omlo is a heart-wrenching narrative that revolves around a 7-year-old boy and a camel, who are individually going through the same circumstances in life which is “helplessness”.

The film highlights how, in a household weighed down by patriarchal norms and generational trauma, family members are dehumanised and treated like animals. The story paints a raw portrait of suffering, silence, and the unspoken hope for change that lives within every abused home. Omlo starring Shambho Mahajan, Sonu Randeep Choudhury, Sonali Sharmistha.
