Mumbai: Omlo, a socio-drama film from Rajasthan, will be shown on the global stage at the Cannes Film Festival Market 2025 on May 13. Hare Krishna Pictures' emotional movie, written and directed by Sonu Randeep Choudhury, will be shown as part of the market's curated selection of impactful independent films.
Set in the rustic town of Shree Dungargarh, Bikaner, Rajasthan Omlo is a heart-wrenching narrative that revolves around a 7-year-old boy and a camel, who are individually going through the same circumstances in life which is “helplessness”.
The film highlights how, in a household weighed down by patriarchal norms and generational trauma, family members are dehumanized and treated like animals.

Produced by Rohit Makhija, Manish Goplani, Neha Pandey and Sonu Randeep Choudhury, with Ajay Rathore, Arvind Dagur, and Yatin Rathore as co-producers, Omlo features cinematography by Wilson Rabinse and a background score by Devendra Bhome.
