Best Story Nominee
Devashish Makhija
Debashish Makhija's Joram is a rare cinematic experience that starkly portrays the dark reality of India’s Maoist-affected tribal hinterlands. It numbs the mind with its intense depiction. Joram, the 3-month-old child of Dasru (masterfully portrayed by Manoj Bajpayee), unfolds a narrative that revolves around an ex-Maoist militant seeking refuge from extreme violence in his Jharkhand village.
