“Siniolchu means a beautiful looking peak. It is one of the most gorgeous-looking peaks in the Himalayan range. From Daowa’s house, this peak can be seen clearly and distinctly” said director Indranil Ghosh at the press meet of Siniolchu.

Gracing the press meet were Raghubir Yadav, Dipanwita Ghosh Mukhopadhyay, Debojyoti Mishra, Kan Singh Sodha, and others.

With Siniolchu, KSS Productions and Entertainment helmed by Kan Singh Sodha announced their foray into Hindi films. The film is directed by veteran director Indranil Ghosh and stars Raghubir Yadav, Prem Kumar Pradhan, Riya Bhujel, and Tiyasha.

Siniolchu is a humane story based on actual events, noted production designer and director Indranil Ghosh exclaimed when asked about the movie. And this endearing bond between two people that transcends age differences is endowed with a special and moving appeal on a worldwide scale.

The story is about Daowa and his chickens. Selling their eggs was his sole source of income. Maya, who was eight years old, was his lone buddy among others, and they used to have fun together. The headman however places a prohibition on the sale of eggs and hens one day. What happens next?

“I had a great time shooting the film. Only a small part of the film is complete- the shooting. However, I had a great feeling while shooting Siniolchu. We were shooting in the hills and could see the Kanchenjunga from time to time. I felt that I had gone to stay there. I did not feel like we had gone for the film’s shoot,” said Raghubir Yadav.

The screenplay and dialogue are by Dipanwita Ghosh Mukhopadhyay. “The original story on which the film is based came out in Ashok Sen’s Baromashe. I had to conduct thorough research then and then transform the short story into a script for a full-length feature film. I went to Sikkim to understand their lifestyle, their culture. Or else the writing would have been pretentious” said Dipanwita.

Debojyoti Mishra said, “I know that Indranil is a very particular man. And I know that when I will start composing the music, he will make many changes. He is a perfectionist and I know what is in store for me”.

The shooting of the film was completed in 13 days.

The film will be sent to different film festivals before releasing it in theatres. The producer stated that the film might release at the end of 2023.
