Speaking during the occasion, the director of the opening feature film ‘Saand ki Aankh’, Tushar Hiranandani said, “The film is a story of a grand-mother duo Chandro and Prakashi Tomar from a village in Uttar Pradesh who join a local shooting range to encourage their daughters and end up winning 352 medals each as sharp shooters.” The debutant director also thanked the producers of the film for making it a success.

A total of 23 feature and 20 non feature films have been selected for the flagship Indian Panorama Section of the 51st of International Film Festival of India.

The selected films will be showcased on the big screen for all the registered delegates and representatives from the selected films, during the nine days film festival in Goa, from 16th-24th January 2021.
