Synopsis

Based on the deadliest industrial disaster, The Bhopal Gas tragedy that killed close to 10,000 people in 1984 and affected over 500,000 over 30 years, this film in 96 minutes captures the horror, devastation and human rights perspectives.

Starring Martin Sheen, Mischa Barton, Kal Penn and a powerful ensemble cast, "Bhopal A Prayer For Rain" is an epic, 'whodunnit' that exposes the shocking events that led to the biggest man made industrial disaster in history, in which as many as 10,000 people were killed in one night and for those that did survive, the tragedy had just begun. Nearly thirty years later as the plant stands as a ghost-like constant reminder, the water in Bhopal is still contaminated and one person a day dies as a direct result of the tragedy.

A disaster that set a deadly precedent for multinational corporate activity in the developing world and revealed a poisonous corruption at the heart of India, the world's largest democracy - this is a story that demands to be seen.

HUFFINGTON POST
"... someone needed to make sure that Bhopal and those whose lives were ended, and changed forever, were not forgotten. We have Ravi Kumar to thank for making sure this is the case. I encourage everyone who has the chance to see this film, to do so. Sadly our world has had far too many industrial disasters due to greed, be it the BP oil spill, or the incompetence and lack of transparency of TEPCO following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We need cinema to show us these stories. This is the power of the moving image at work... A must see film for those who believe in researched film-making. This film also ensures that this worst industrial disaster which happened in India is not forgotten"

TELEGRAPH INDIA
"An edgy immersive thriller that functions as a cautionary tale for a generation... Every smile, every stare, every little gesture is beautifully measured in what is an absolute class act from the legend."

"... a masterpiece for the viewers to see. The film gives us much imagery to take back home, those imageries of unscalded innocence and the imageries from aftermath haunt you till the message doesn?t sink in your bones and makes you shiver!..."
