Divya Dutta, Neeraj Kabi's 'Echoes of Valour' to be screened at Venice Film Festival

Divya Dutta and Neeraj Kabi's poignant biopic 'Echoes of Valour' selected for Venice Film Festival 2025, exploring a soldier's mother's resilience.

"Echoes of Valour has been an intensely personal journey—one that explores love, loss, and redemption. – Indira Dhar"

Mumbai, August 11

Divya Dutta and Neeraj Kabi-starrer 'Echoes of Valour' is all set to be screened at the Venice Film Festival.

Directed by Indira Dhar, the film is touted to be a "poignant biopic on the mother of an Indian army soldier."

The film, which took over four years to go into production, is a layered meditation on motherhood, loss, and the often-unseen strength of women in the shadow of conflict, as per a press note.

Speaking about the upcoming screening at Venice, Indira Dhar in a press note shared, "Echoes of Valour has been an intensely personal journey--one that explores the fragile terrain of love, loss, and the human instinct to seek redemption. For its first intimate showing to be at Venice feels deeply right. I'm honoured to begin the film's conversation with the world in a place that values both vulnerability and vision. Returning to the international festival circuit after Putul has been both humbling and energizing--this moment feels like a quiet coming home."

Echoes of Valour is directed by Indira Dhar and produced by Margaret Zambonini and IKA Studios and will screen as part of a private closed-door showcase during the Venice Film Festival 2025.

Finally a film that highlights the sacrifices of army families! Our jawans protect borders while their families bear silent pain. Hope this gets a theatrical release in India too 🙏

While I appreciate the subject matter, I wish they'd cast actual army mothers instead of stars. Feels more authentic that way. Still, kudos for bringing this important story to light.

Neeraj Kabi is a powerhouse performer! After Sacred Games, I'll watch anything he's in. The 4-year production time shows this is a passion project, not some rushed commercial film. Respect!

Private screening only? Why not make it accessible to public? Our armed forces stories deserve maximum visibility. Still, big achievement for Indian cinema 🎬
