About the film: In a uranium mining area of Jharkhand, India, a tribal couple copes with the loss of their daughter. For them, the land and forest bear witness to their daughter’s memory. With great sensitivity and beauty, the film explores the deeply intertwined connections between tribal communities and the forest that is their traditional home. Deftly interweaving the vivid colors of their festivals, folk songs, and the sense of community that binds them together, 'Tortoise Under The Earth' is a poetic elegy to a world that is rapidly disappearing, subsumed by unchecked development and displacement.

He graduated from the National Institute of Design (NID) Ahmedabad with a Bachelor’s degree in Film & Video Communication Design. He received a Diploma in Filmmaking at the workshop of the late Abbas Kiarostami at EICTV (Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV) in Cuba in 2016.
He has made several short films, and 'Tortoise Under The Earth' is his first feature film.
