MUMBAI: Six years ago, Rubaru Roshani revolutionized the world of documentary filmmaking with its unique blend of personal storytelling and social commentary. The film, produced exclusively by Aamir Khan Productions, became a trailblazer in the realm of social documentaries, bringing to light stories of victims of communal violence in India.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Sushmit Ghosh, Rubaru Roshani doesn’t just chronicle the personal accounts of survivors; it provides an intimate portrayal of their emotional and psychological scars. Through this lens, AKP Productions sought to illuminate the long-term effects of hate-driven violence on individuals and communities. The documentary, which focuses on real-life interactions between victims and perpetrators, draws viewers into a conversation about forgiveness, empathy, and the consequences of intolerance.
AKP’s role as the sole production house behind the project was instrumental in shaping its narrative and tone. The company’s commitment to authentic storytelling, coupled with its understanding of the power of visual media, resulted in a groundbreaking piece of work that has garnered critical acclaim on international platforms, including festivals in Cannes and Toronto.
In addition to raising awareness, Rubaru Roshani has also been part of various campaigns and educational programs aimed at fostering dialogue between communities affected by violence. AKP’s unwavering belief in the power of film as a tool for social change is at the heart of the documentary’s success.
As Rubaru Roshani celebrates its sixth anniversary, it continues to be a symbol of AKP’s vision — a commitment to not only entertain, but also challenge, inform, and inspire through film.
