The Cannes Film Festival has been quite a ride, with surprising wins and Indian domination across categories. It was the year of resilient stories, love, heartland, and hard-hitting reality. Amongst all of this, the Russian film The Brattt faced a lot of conflicts when, after a lot of back and forth, the movie was selected for the official competition. But given the state of the Ukraine & Russia conflict, the movie’s selection faced a lot of pushback. But the film was screened at the festival amidst conflict. And the movie The Brattt will soon be hitting Indian theaters.
‘The Brattt’ was officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival’s competition section, but the film was removed because the production house is Russian. Due to the Russia-Ukraine war, some perceptions or guidelines made globally for the Russians impacted this screening at Cannes. Looking at the situation, the producers decided to screen this film in the Indian pavilion’s screening section at Cannes and received a good response. This film will be released globally and in India in September 2024 by Jai Viratra Entertainment Limited.
The Brattt is about a general’s daughter who lives in Tambov and falls in love with a street artist whom her father disapproves of. The general has a twin brother who heads a criminal gang. Two unsuccessful robbers fail the task, which triggers a string of events that will change lives and destroy families.
