Agra follows the story of Guru, portrayed by Mohit Agarwal, a call center employee who lives with his parents. Frustrated and often resorting to violent outbursts, Guru's life is a manifestation of the complexities of modern masculinity. His desire to marry his girlfriend, Mala, and build a room on the terrace of his home serves as a backdrop against which the film explores themes of patriarchy and sexual repression.
The trailer introduces us to a cast of characters played by talented actors like Priyanka Bose, Ruhani Sharma, Vibha Chibber, Sonal Jha, and Aanchal Goswami. Each character seems to play a crucial role in unraveling the layers of societal norms and personal struggles that define Guru's world.
What sets Agra apart is its unflinching portrayal of these themes. Kanu Behl's storytelling is known for its raw and gritty nature, and Agra seems to be no exception. The film's exploration of patriarchy and sexual repression in men is likely to be a stark and unapologetic reflection of contemporary society.
Premiering at the Directors’ Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023, Agra has already made waves on the international stage. Its subsequent screening at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, where it won the Best Indie Film award, further solidifies its status as a film to watch out for.
Produced by Vikram Mehra, Siddarth Anand Kumar, William Jéhannin, and Kanu Behl, Agra is set to release in France on April 3, with an Indian release date expected soon after. As audiences eagerly await its arrival, the film stands as a testament to Kanu Behl's prowess as a filmmaker and his ability to delve deep into the human psyche, unearthing truths that are often uncomfortable yet undeniably important.
