Everybody already knows how prolific the Indian film industry is, but perhaps not so many of us are aware that the country is extremely rich in independent cultural treats and languages asides from the official English and Hindi. As the dates for its release are getting closer, Mandala: The UFO Incident (2023) is getting some notoriety for being one of the very few titles spoken in the Kannada language in the science-fiction genre, something that the fans are welcoming with enthusiasm.
The movie centers on Arjun, who gets into trouble when his rocket scientist girlfriend gets abducted by a UFO. All he has is the help of a retired investigative journalist to solve the mystery of the UFO and find his girlfriend.
This is the debut feature film of the co-writer, producer, and director Ajay Sarpeshkar, who is also acting in a supporting role. The veteran awards-winner Prakash Belawadi, who plays the main role of Dr. Satyaprakash, the helping buddy, is the co-writer of the film.
Sharmiela Mandre, Kiran Srinivas, Anant Nag, Samyuktha Hornadu, Kiran Naik, and Sudha Belawadi also star.
Mandala: The UFO Incident (2023) is having a theatrical release in India on March 10, 2023, and we will have to wait for international distribution and release dates.
