Bande Utkala Janani

- Pankaj Mohanty, Chairman,  Lotus Films Pvt. Ltd
" Lotus Films Pvt Ltd” is only little more than one year old. During this period we have been able to produce 2 oriya films. The first film 'Chaka Chaka Bhaunri' was a typical family story and was a run away success despite popular perception that  there is no audience for a family story in Orissa. In contrast  ' Bande Utkala Janani' is more realistic film and closely  reflects the present political culture of present socierty of  Orissa. It is more of an action and political thriller. It reflects  professionalism of police and journalist as well. We hope this film  will also be a success. Lotus films will focus mostly on original  stories reflecting Oriya society in general. In future it will  encourage and give chance to newcomers both in artist and  technician section as well. It will persevere in giving  wholesome entertaining cinema to the people of Orissa.  - Suvendu Swain, Director The objective is to make a full entertaining film and giving the audience  return on every pie they spent. In the mean time if I can make them feel  little involved with the issues those are being dealt by this film, I shall feel mighty happy and have the satisfaction of being successful in my  venture. I wish all the audience and people who have interest in watching  Oriya film a happy viewing. This film is the first oriya film to be released all over through satelite ( Digital UFO ) . I promise as long as I shall be making film it will be my Endeavour to introduce and use technology to make film watching as interesting as possible. - Debasis Dagara, Producer We are determined to produce oriya films with original stories and to stand out in an era where making copyrighted films are in fashion. Our experience with the first product is very satisfactory and we wish 'Bande Utkala Janani' will give a lot of freshness to oriya cinema industry because of its unique story telling and powerful performances of all the artists involved in it.  The technicians like cameraman, editor, choreographer and action director  have given their best and it will be a treat to the audience to watch an  oriya film like this which is bold, blood boiling , modern and contemporary  as well. the audience will able to identify with themselves as well. I  promise to the oriya film goers that Lotus will bring many such good films  having strong content as well as technically sound film in near future. -  Pragati Mohanty, Producer We are looking for making oriya film technically more stylish like that  one sees in hindi films. Though fund and its business viability will  always remain a constraint in making, still we will like to work and  strike a balance so that oriya film audience are not deprived of world  technology. We have started our own distribution house this year. We  are extremely happy that our film ' Bande Utkala Janani' is the first  oriya film to be released through digital UFO satellite system. In  future we are determined to adapt technology for the viewing pleasure of oriya filmgoers. source- www.fullorissa.com
