Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy screened an award-winning film ‘Panchi Banu, Udti Phirun’ (Invisible Wings) for a select audience in the city recently. The film’s plot revolves around a handicapped girl who loses her limbs in a tragedy and goes on to become a swimming champion.
Sudha Rani, the film maker and dubbing rights holder of the Chinese adaptation of the film, said that the story is a great inspiration. “The girl makes her way to a medical college which brings her success. We want to screen and show the film to as many people as we can inspire them to do things differently in life.”
She said that the film has saved more than 25 lives. “I have taken this film to the rural areas of Andhra Pradesh and now I want to bring it to Karnataka,” she added.
Sports and Youth Affair Minister Appachu Ranjan, speaking on the occasion, said, “Films like this give immense strength to us, particularly to the youngsters. It should be screened in rural areas. We all must come together to sing and celebrate such themes. We will try screening this film with subtitles in rural parts of the state.”
The film has won the Golden Elephant Award at the 15th International Children’s Film Festival of India, Hyderabad, in 2007 as the best film. It also won the Silver Elephant Award for the best actress.
