That is what it is about

Durga and Kabeer's goal on this one night is simple and clear: they want to get out of here, wherever that is. The way there, however, is a nightly hike through a nightmare. When a couple of young men offer to drive them to the nearest train station, hopes are high that they can get the job over with quickly. Soon, however, it becomes clear that they were mistaken. The noose tightens around their necks. Hell, it's the others!

What you should know

There is no adequate description for this monster of a film. SEXY DURGA is a journey without a story, rushing the minds of its viewers as if driven by impulse. Yet the film is so simple and immediate that the true complexity of what is happening crashes over us like a wave. When it's all finally over, it will be clear what "horror" actually means... and you will have this cliché-free work of art and masterpiece to thank for it!

Direction

Sanal Kumar Sasidharan is actually a zoologist and lawyer. But out of pure passion for film, he founded an association in 2001 that promotes independent films and their financing. His first short films won awards at festivals and his debut was also largely well received. SEXY DURGA is Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's third feature film. It won him the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival in a completely surprising and controversial way!
