Designed by the one and the only, Sankalp Mohanty.

In the past few days we have put together a 27 minute version of the film, which is 3 minutes shorter than the original. We believe this is the most complete version of the film. So, even for those few who have watched the film before, we hope this will be a comparatively fresh experience.
