Mumbai: Making a confident and surprising debut,
22-year-old Karen Kshiti Suvarna who brings a surprisingly mature and sensitive
voice to a story about Alzheimer’s - a subject that’s often spoken about, but
rarely felt this intimately on screen.
The teaser offers glimpses of a man losing his grip
on memory and identity, played by Pravin Singh Sisodia, in what already feels
like one of his most restrained and affecting performances. There’s no dramatic
excess — just moments that feel real, uncomfortable, and deeply human.
Karen Kshiti Suvarna's approach to filmmaking is
refreshingly subtle. By stripping away drama, she lays bare the raw emotion of
Alzheimer's, making the audience feel the weight of every moment. "I
wanted the audience to feel that stillness and the emotional weight that comes
with it," she says, hitting close to home .
The film features a strong ensemble cast including
Priyanka Upendra, Zarina Wahab, Amit Behl, Ajit Shidhaye, Sachin Patekar and
Ricky Rudra each bringing depth and nuance to this layered narrative.
Produced by Humara Movie, Visica Films & FMD
Productions, with Films Max as co-producer, the film is written by Raj Shekhar
and features music by Vinayy Chandraa. Adding an international dimension, actor
and TV host Frederic de Vos joins as Associate Producer.
September 21 has already garnered attention on the
festival circuit, having been showcased in the ‘Work-in-Progress’ category at
the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
The teaser sets the stage for a heartfelt cinematic
experience that aims to create awareness and spark conversations around
Alzheimer’s and its emotional complexities.
The film is slated for a theatrical release in May
2026.
