Parvathy Baul Film ‘Joyguru’ Set as India-u.K.-U.S.-France Co-Production, to Launch Sales at Cannes Market (Exclusive)
“Joyguru,” a fictionalized account of the life of Indian mystic artist and music icon Parvathy Baul, will launch sales at the upcoming Cannes Film Market.
Parvathy Baul is a leading exponent of the syncretic Baul minstrel music tradition that is hugely popular and culturally influential across eastern India and Bangladesh.
Written and directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Soumyajit Majumdar (“#Homecoming”), the film will follow folk music icon Radhika Das Baul and popular Bollywood film music director Ritwik during their unlikely collaboration for a pioneering music album of Baul songs transcreated in Hindi, where they form a unique bond, a few days before her sudden and mysterious disappearance from her ashram near Shantiniketan, India.
Currently in scripting stage, the Hindi-language feature film will commence principal photography in 2025, with Asian Film Awards nominee Ravi Varman (“Ponniyin Selvan”) as DoP. The film will be shot across Shantiniketan, Kolkata, Vrindavan and Kerala in India and in parts of the U.
