After earning acclaim at Cannes 2023, Kanu Behl’s Agra is finally set to release in Indian theatres on November 14. The filmmaker reveals it took two difficult years to find a distributor, and urges the government to support indie movies

Kanu Behl
Difficult, disheartening, and sometimes depressing” — that’s how Kanu Behl describes his last two years as he fought to bring Agra to Indian theatres. This, even though the Rahul Roy, Priyanka Bose, and Mohit Agarwal-starrer won wide praise at the Cannes Film Festival 2023. Now, the drama is finally arriving in Indian cinemas on November 14.
Behl’s jubilation is evident when he, over a phone call, tells us, “It was such a long and hard battle. We all know the state of independent cinema now. To finally get here where the film will meet its real audience is an indescribable feeling of joy.”
