one of its kind as its making history at the festival with its selection. It’s
become the the second only Indian film ever to be selected for completion at
Sundance and after 16 years a short film from India will be competing
at the fest. The last film to do so was Birju in 2002. The

rape is not a legal crime. Vijay

in the film, said, “It is the largest independent film festival in the world.
And counterfeit kunkoo was made with absolute indie spirit where we hustled our
way into making this film in difficult emotional n physical spaces. I’m looking
forward to the audience response now. And if time permits, attend the
festival.”
