Khyanikaa: The Lost Idea

Khyanikaa: The Lost Idea[1] is a 2017 Odia language independent feature film written and directed by Amartya Bhattacharyya.

The treatment of the film is more like a satire with moments of humorous illustrations of serious reality and often merging into spaces of magic realism and surrealism.
