The premiere show of ‘Vidya – Sapno Ki Udaan’, an education-based film shot in Uttarakhand, was held in Dehradun on Saturday in the presence of the State Higher Education minister Dhan Singh Rawat. The producer and editor Anirban Dhar was also present. The film features actors Sushant Khandaya, Ekta Tiwari, Kriti and Bhavana Rokde along with Bollywood and Uttarakhand-based actors like Satish Sharma, Shail Shivram, Mansi Mishra and Jayati.
Set in Ban village, the final stop of the Raj Jaat Yatra in Chamoli district,- a remote and challenging terrain- the film revolves around the theme of education and narrates the inspiring journey of establishing a school in the region. Due to harsh geographical conditions, the area lacks educational institutions, leaving the children deprived of education.
The story highlights how some children from the village leave to pursue education elsewhere. Upon realising the transformative power of education, they feel an emotional pull towards their homeland. Understanding their moral responsibility, they decide to bring the light of education to their village. Braving multiple challenges, they finally succeed.
Speaking at the premiere, Rawat said that the well-made movie highlights the importance of education. “I congratulate actors, producers and director for bringing the story of Ban village to the forefront,” he added.
The director Sanjeeb Das announced that the film is set for release in cinemas across Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh on March 7. “The natural beauty of the village enhances the film’s visual appeal,” he added.
