About The India Story: Slow Poison
At its core, The India Story, also referred to as The India Story: Slow Poison in progress, explores the alarming consequences of chemical misuse, particularly in the context of pesticide farming and related scandals. Moving beyond the lens of a single family’s ordeal, the narrative expands to reflect a much larger crisis affecting public health and safety. The film attempts to shed light on systemic lapses and the urgent need for stricter regulatory frameworks to prevent such widespread harm.
With a storyline rooted in real-world concerns, the makers aim to strike a balance between compelling storytelling and social commentary. The film is expected to highlight the often-overlooked repercussions of industrial negligence while also questioning the accountability of powerful corporations.
Director Chettan DK praised the collective effort behind the film, saying, “Every member of the team, from the crew to the cast, has put in immense dedication to bring authenticity to this story. Kajal and Shreyas have delivered incredibly nuanced performances, and their commitment has truly elevated the film. We’ve worked hard to ensure that the narrative remains both engaging and impactful.”
Kajal Aggarwal, who has consistently explored diverse roles and Shreyas Talpade, known for his versatility, come together for the first time, bringing a fresh on-screen pairing. Their collaboration is anticipated to add emotional depth and intensity to a narrative that is both thought-provoking and unsettling.
It is backed by co-producers Sumit Bagade, Anita Jadhav, Vinayak Saidani, Kalpesh Shah, Devyani Khorate, and Prem Joshi, and further elevated by the work of DOP Nishant Bhagwat, music composer Mangesh Dhakde, editor Ashish Mhatre, lyricist Shakeel Azami, and sound designer Anmol Bhave. The film is all set to release in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil language.
