Grazing Goat's 72 Miles Ek Pravas selected to screen at 12th Pune Intl Film fest

72 Miles Ek Pravas
Last year Akshay Kumar and Ashvini Yardi took the Marathi film going audience by surprise when they released their first Marathi release 72 Miles Ek Pravas that was very well appreciated. 72 Miles Ek Pravas received positive feedback from international audiences when it was shortlisted at the celebrated London Indian Film Festival. Grazing Goat Pictures has now etched another feather in its hat when its film will be screened at the 12thPune International Film Festival (PIFF). Of the 500 entries in the international feature competition section for PIFF, 14 films have been shortlisted. And out of the 35 entries in the Marathi feature competition only seven movies have been selected of which one was 72 Miles Ek Pravas along with Nagraj Manjule's Fandry, Aditya Sarpotdar's Narbachiwadi, Laxman Utekar's Tapaal, Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukhtankar's Astu and Abhijit Panse’s Rege. A hard-hitting, poignant tale of a young boy who makes his journey into self-actualization against the backdrop of a rustic India, 72 Miles Ek Pravas explores a beautiful, coming of age journey for the 13 year old boy Ashok and the companionable relationships he makes through his journey. Commenting on the film, Akshay Kumar said, "72 Miles marks our first regional film and we're delighted at the great honour and prestige the film has brought to the entire team of Grazing Goat Pictures. This project would have not been what it is today without Mr. Rajeev Patil’s impeccable direction and contribution to the film. We hope to continue the legacy and generate entertainment with great substance which will connect with our audiences. We would like to thank all audiences for all the love and appreciation they have bestowed upon us.” Other categories at the festival include, World Competition, Animation, Live Action, Global Cinema 73, Country Focus, Retrospective, Indian Cinema Today, Legends We Remember, Tribute, Special Screening: NFDC and Gems from NFAI.
