Anurag Kashyap Kennedy: Anurag Kashyap’s acclaimed neo-noir thriller Kennedy has been selected as the only Indian title featured in the debut lineup of the Letterboxd Video Store. The globally recognised film-rental platform is set to launch its digital Video Store on December 10, marking the first time the service will offer carefully curated titles directly for rent across 23 countries.
Letterboxd’s Video Store will spotlight award-winning films, global festival favourites and exclusive Oscar submissions, many of which haven’t been easily accessible to audiences. Among nine hand-picked international titles sits Kennedy, which first captured worldwide attention after its celebrated world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Anurag, who wrote the film during the pandemic lockdown, expressed joy over the release finally reaching viewers beyond the festival circuit. “I am happy that finally the film will be available for the general audience to watch in some parts of the world. It’s one of my most personal films and would love to get the audience feedback and reaction, and I am thankful to Letterboxd for putting it on their new platform. And I am hopeful that we’ll soon be able to release it in India too as the producers are working on it,” he said.
Produced by Ranjan Singh, Good Bad Films and Zee Studios, Kennedy stars Rahul Bhatt and Sunny Leone and unfolds over an intense, nocturnal 30-day shoot across Mumbai. The story follows a sleepless ex-cop presumed dead by society, who continues to operate within a corrupt system while grappling with guilt and his quest for redemption.
Following its Cannes acclaim, the film travelled widely, screening at festivals in Sydney, Seoul, Switzerland, Lisbon, Austin, Melbourne, London, the US, Mumbai and Kolkata.
Kennedy will be available in the United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Switzerland.
