A groundbreaking announcement has been made in the Odia film industry with the reveal of ‘Landfall’, touted as the most expensive Odia movie to date.

Landfall aims to give Odia Cinema A New Identity through Animation. The film boasts a massive budget of ₹10 crore, promising high-quality animation and VFX on par with national standards.

Audiences will witness the terrifying and destructive face of a cyclone brought to life through stunning visuals. The movie will be released in both Odia and Hindi, broadening its appeal.

The much-loved actor Superstar Sabyasachi Mishra will be in Lead Role. The female lead will be played by the graceful actress Divyasnataa, who will star opposite Sabyasachi.

Following the critically acclaimed and nationally awarded success of ‘Daman’, director duo Debi Prasad Lenka and Vishal Mourya are set to create magic again with ‘Landfall’. Produced by Prabhat Kumar Pradhan under the Pixel Movies banner, the film was unveiled in a grand event at The New Marion, Bhubaneswar.

Both Surajit Das and Nrusingha Charan Swain also shared their valuable experiences in disaster management, drawing from their extensive fieldwork. Composer Gaurav Anand, cinematographer Pratap Raut, and many noted figures from the Odia film industry were present to grace the event.

Based on a powerful and original storyline centered around the devastating effects of cyclones, the film is expected to strike a deep emotional chord with the audience particularly those in Odisha who have firsthand experience of such natural disasters.

With a grand canvas and an ambitious vision, Landfall is expected to be a milestone project much like how Baahubali revolutionized South Indian cinema. Producer Prabhat Kumar Pradhan believes the film will give Odia cinema a new identity in animation and storytelling.

Known for choosing unique and authentic Odia stories, Sabyasachi Mishra's collaboration with the Debi-Vishal duo is expected to elevate Landfall into a benchmark cinematic experience. The film is soon set to go on floors.

In essence, Landfall is not just a film, it’s a cinematic movement that could redefine the potential of Odia films on a national platform.
