Filmmaker Rima Das discusses delayed theatrical release of 'Village Rockstars 2'

Assamese filmmaker Rima Das opened up about the delayed theatrical release of her coming-of-age drama sequel 'Village Rockstars 2' following its Busan International Film Festival premiere.

Das noted that the initial release window in Assam was heavily impacted by the sudden death of popular singer Zubeen Garg last September and the local monsoon season.

The director highlighted the operational challenges independent filmmakers face when securing theatrical slots and marketing budgets without viral or controversial content.
