Director Statement

JANJAAL is about the dangers of wanting something too much and how our wishes can come with unexpected consequences. The story shows how greed and desperation can lead to regret. As a director, I wanted to make the audience feel the weight of every decision the characters make. This film is a reminder that sometimes, we should be careful about what we wish for, because the price might be higher than we think.
