As she accepted the award, the writer and director thanked the audience and said, “It was already a dream to be selected for competition, and this was beyond my imagination, so thank you.” She added that since she is a huge fan of Miguel Gomes, she followed what he did and also invited the actors in the film onto the stage.
“Because without them, I don’t think this film would’ve been possible. It’s three women who have given me so much and really contributed to the film like a family and made it their own. So, thank you, ladies,” she stated.
In her speech, she further said, “I’m very nervous, so I wrote something down. Thank you very much to the Cannes Film Festival for having our film here. Please don’t wait 30 years to have another Indian film. It really takes a village to make a film, so it couldn’t have been possible without them.”
Helmed and written by Payal and produced by Thomas Hakim, Julien Graff, and Ranabir Das, the movie stars Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam, and Hridhu Haroon in key roles.
