OPENING NIGHT FEATURE: BOONG is a profoundly touching and sometimes humorous tale of a young schoolboy's quest to reunite his fractured family. Against the backdrop of ethnic and racial tensions in Manipur, the film portrays the resilience of the perceptive Boong as he navigates the complexities of friendship, longs for familial warmth, and seeks to understand the world around him. Lakshmipriya Devi's debut feature is both vibrant and exquisitely crafted, serving as a poignant reminder that there can be some hope even in the darkest of times. ---- Pulkit Datta
