Anukoni Prayanam (2022)

Two Telugu-speaking laborers, polar opposites in temperament, share a dusty construction site in Bhubaneswar. When one collapses from a sudden heart attack, the survivor shoulders a grim duty: transporting the corpse hundreds of miles to its ancestral village for a proper farewell. Along rutted highways and cramped trains, he wrestles with police suspicion, mocking strangers, and his own simmering resentment. Each obstacle peels away layers of his cynicism, forcing him to confront the meaning of loyalty, mortality, and the fragile bonds that tie us to home—until the journey itself becomes his quiet reckoning.
