On this occasion, Goutam Ghose, Director of Raahgir - The Wayfarers said, “The movie deals with a story of India's impoverished people who live in the forests and can hardly make ends meet. They have limited dreams and desires. Their biggest concern is trying to gather the day's food. The film celebrates the fact that despite the daily struggle for survival, the elements of humanity are still alive in these people. The film showcases how Indian reality differs in the cities and in a poor tribal village. It's a beautiful story of humanity that is still alive among the poorest of the poor. It is a celebration of empathy, and humanity despite a struggle for survival.”
Speaking to the media, Amit Agarwal, Producer of Raahgir - The Wayfarers said, “We are happy with such an overwhelming response at the Pune International Film Festival. I think these festivals provide a great open space for filmmakers and film lovers. Not only did the audience enjoy ‘Raahgir’, they also asked relevant questions related to the film, which shows their engagement with the film was genuine. We are planning to take the film to various film festivals before its theatrical release in India.”
