Dehradun, India. Release: 20th September, 2022
Dehradun was abuzz with hype for the grandest event in town on 19th September as Fortune Talkies Motion Pictures hosted the red-carpet premiere of their Uttarakhandi feature film "Maati Pehchaan" at PVR Pacific. The event was graced by the presence of Uttarakhand’s Minister for Culture & Tourism, Shri Satpal Maharaj was the guest of honour. The mega premiere event also saw the entire team of "Maati Pehchaan" in attendance, including the lead cast Karan Goswami and Annkita Parihar as well as the film’s director Ajay Berry and producer Faraz Shere.
OHO Radio's RJ Kavya and RJ Gaurav from Red FM were also present at the film's premiere. They were all praises for the film and promised to promote it on their platforms.
"Maati Pehchaan" has been one of the most highly anticipated films in Uttarakhandi cinema’s history. While utilizing local talent from its cast to its crew and shooting in various picturesque locations of Uttarakhand, the film has been made with the sensibility of any mainstream Bollywood film. Yet at its heart "Maati Pehchaan" remains deeply Uttarakhandi as it aims to capture the lives and struggles of its people and the deep connection they have with the mountains.
Speaking about the film at the red-carpet producer Faraz Shere said, “To me "Maati Pehchaan" has been the culmination of a very long and challenging journey. We started this film in 2018 and were very excited to be making something of this kind in Uttarakhand. Of course, being our first feature film, we gave it our all, but nobody knew that it would end up taking so long to finally arrive in cinemas.
But we are very happy with the finished film and can’t wait to see how the people of Uttarakhand respond to it since it is especially dedicated to them.”
Addressing the overwhelming response to the film, director Ajay Berry said, “We have made this film with a lot of honesty and commitment to telling a uniquely Uttarakhandi story that will resonate with the people. And it’s very satisfying to see the positive responses we have been getting from out trailers and songs. We just can’t wait for the people to watch the film and make it their own.”
Meanwhile, Culture and Tourism Minister, Shri Satpal Maharaj said this about the film, “The film Maati Pehchaan is creating its place in the hearts of the people, and inspiring them not to leave their soil. It's a very good film, the entire team has done a great job and we encourage such endeavours. We will try to make this film tax free in Uttarakhand. I would also like to request all the residents of Uttarakhand to watch this film with their whole family.
