About Pyre
"Pyre," directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vinod Kapri, is scheduled for a theatrical release across India on October 30, 2026. The Hindi-language drama features an unconventional casting choice, with the lead roles portrayed by elderly debutant actors Padam Singh Kapri, 80, and Heera Devi, 70, both from Uttarakhand. This marks their first experience in front of a camera, aiming to bring authenticity to the narrative.
The film is produced by Vinod Kapri, Suresh Joshi, and Arindra Rai Chaudhuri under Bhagirathi Films and Mashakbeen Studios. "Pyre" premiered at the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2024, where it received the PÖFF Best Film Audience Award, and has since garnered 18 international awards. Shot entirely in the Kumaon Himalayas, the story centers on an elderly couple's enduring wait for their children, exploring themes of loneliness, migration, and the complexities of aging within the changing dynamics of family. The music score was composed by Oscar-winner Mychael Danna, with lyrics by Gulzar.
