What director say about Joyguru in Cannes 2024
Talking about Joyguru in Cannes 2024, the director Soumyajit Majumdar said “This is not only a film, this is my prayer. It’s been almost two years since I have been researching for this film. Baul is a global phenomenon, however, in India Baul is misrepresented and often identified only as folk music. Parvathy Ji’s life is testimony to the fact that the spiritual power of Baul can transform lives. The film is based on her life journey but this won’t be a biopic”.
Thoughts of Parvathy Baul on this film
Sharing thoughts on this film, Parvathy Baul said “For over a year Soumyajit has done a lot of hard work in researching and preparing for this story and I appreciate his commitment and sincerity for this purpose. It’s not an endeavor to tell the story about yet another individual’s life. Right from the start, the goal is clear to serve this beautiful, age-old, timeless spiritual tradition of Baul. It ought to be essentially seva (selfless service) offering to all the Baul masters and the tradition. It is also the most appropriate time to bring Baul wisdom to the wider audience via this medium for I have conviction in the central message of this path that has profound healing and transformational touch”.
