Under the Children’s film screenings at Madhya Pradesh State Tribal Museum, Ullas, a children’s film ‘Gilli Gilli Atta’ was screened on Thursday.
The children’s films by Children Film Society of India (CFSI) are screened at Tribal Museum every Thursday for the little audience.
The film is directed by Pankaj Parasar and features actors like Johnny lever, Mrinal Deshraj and Arif Zakaria in lead roles.
The movie revolves around the life of a gangster and the struggles he faced when he leaves the profession.
Shankar is a criminal who turns his life around and becomes a business man.
He is delighted when his wife gives birth to twins. However Anna, his arch-enemy from his old days, plots vengeance and kidnaps one baby.
Chased by the police, the goons abandon the baby in a truck and run away. All hope seems lost for the defenseless infant when a little miracle saves his life.
The film uses comedy to impress upon its audience that good always triumphs over evil in the end.
It is to be noted that Pankaj Parashar is a reputed director of films and TV series and is an alumnus of FTII, Pune. His diploma film for the institute ‘Malfunction’ won him a Filmfare Award for Best Documentary.
