The socio-drama film ‘Omlo‘, set in rural Rajasthan, is all set to make its international debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2025.
Written and directed by Sonu Randeep Choudhury, Omlo will have its official international showcase on May 13 as part of a curated selection of impactful independent cinema at the Marche du Film.
Set against the stark, rugged backdrop of Shree Dungargarh in Bikaner, Rajasthan, Omlo tells the poignant story of a 7-year-old boy and a camel, both navigating parallel paths of silent suffering and helplessness.
The film confronts harsh patriarchal norms and generational trauma in rural households, portraying how pain and dehumanization manifest behind closed doors. At its heart, Omlo is a reflection of broken family dynamics and the quiet resilience of those yearning for change.
The story offers an unfiltered portrayal of emotional suppression, while also touching on the underlying desire for change within such environments.
The film stars Shambho Mahajan, Sonu Randeep Choudhury, and Sonali Sharmistha. It is produced by Rohit Makhija, Manish Goplani, Neha Pandey, and Sonu Randeep Choudhury.
Co-producers Ajay Rathore, Arvind Dagur, and Yatin Rathore have also played a pivotal role in bringing this powerful story to life.
The film features cinematography by Wilson Rabinse, editing by Navneet Kumar Sinha, and an evocative background score by Devendra Bhome.
The music, rooted in Rajasthani culture, is composed by Gazi Khan Barna and Bhuvan Ahuja, with soul-stirring lyrics penned by the director himself.
Following its screening at Cannes, ‘Omlo’ is also set for a world premiere at the 26th Rainbow International Film Festival in London.
