Bhubaneswar: Odia movie ‘Daalcheeni’ bagged best feature film award in national category at seventh International Film Festival of Shimla on Sunday.

The film was screened at Shimla International Film Festival on Saturday.

“I am thrilled. The award came as a surprise. After the screening, everyone present appreciated the work,” said Sisir Kumar Sahu, who co-directed the movie with his wife, Peenakee Singh.
