Odisha is making its foray into the global digital streaming platform with the 85-minute Odia feature film Capital I, on Amazon Prime (US/UK).
It has been produced by Swastik Choudhury (of Odisha-based Swastik Arthouse) and Susant Misra and directed by National Award winner, Amartya Bhattacharyya. The makers are trying their best to bring the film to Amazon Prime India as well.
“It is time to find our place in the world market. The Odia film market must grow beyond Odisha. The film is on Amazon Prime, US and UK, but not in India. We are trying to bring it in India too,” said Bhattacharyya.
Swastik, who has co-produced the film, said Capital I was the only film from Odisha that made its mark at several platforms, including the 20th International Film Festival of Kerala in 2015.
Debutant Pallavi and filmmaker Susant Misra are the protagonists in the film and the music is by Kisaloy Roy.
