MUMBAI: PVR Director’s Rare label is readying to release its fifth film, Karan Gour’s Kshay, across India on 15 June.

The film revolves around a lower middle-class housewife’s obsession to possess an unfinished statue of the Goddess Lakshmi. And how this obsession infects everything around her – her home, her dreams and even the only family she’s got, her husband Arvind.

Said PVR Ltd. joint managing director Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, "I feel extremely delighted with release of the movie Kshay, as it is the fifth movie releasing under PVR Director’s Rare Banner. The previous movies, Good Night|Good Morning, Chaurahen and The Forest have received an overwhelming response from the audiences and industry insiders alike."

Kshay takes an unforgiving look at obsession: how it infects the frailty of our minds, corroding reasoning, reality and emotional fulfillment.

"We hope to bring more such movies to our discerning audience and are positive that our efforts of delivering meaningful cinema to people will be successful," said Bijli.

The film was produced independently for over four years with a two-man crew, the director Karan Gaur and the DOP Abhinay Khoparzi.

Kshay stars Rasika Dugal and Alekh Sangal.

Incidentally, Gaur has also written, edited, co-produced and done the sound design of the film.
