The film Jhalki that was earlier planned to be released on September 27 now has a new release date. According to the director of the film, Brahmanand S. Siingh, the film will open on November 14, on the occasion of Childrens’ Day.
Brahmanand said: “The story of the film revolves around the journey of a girl and her brother, played by young talents, so it made sense to release the film on Children’s Day.”
The film, co-directed by Tanvi Jain, is a relentless journey of the protagonist Jhalki, a little girl, to find her brother.
