The first Indo-Bhutan feature film involving artists and technicians from both the countries, Singye is set to hit the screens on 26th October 2018
Singye will solely have a Bhutan release this year. The Premiere show will be at the Lugar theatre in Thimphu. Lugar theatre is the oldest Cinema Hall in Bhutan, and the first movie to be screened there was a Hindi film. This year marks the 50 years of Indo-Bhutan friendship and hence, the makers have decided to screen the first Indo-Bhutan film at the prestigious theatre. The International release of Singye will happen sometime next year.
As the two countries celebrate 50 years of friendship, it is not just coincidence that this Indo-Bhutan production is released on time. Singye has been a long term dream of Biplab J. Doley, CEO and founder of Strawberry Magic productions (India) and Paljor Gyabak, founder of project Bhutan Entertainment (Bhutan) over the last couple of years as they worked together in the blockbuster Baeyul- a hidden paradise, back in 2015.
