Sikkim’s world premiere postponed to 06 Apr


GANGTOK: The world premiere of Satyajit Ray’s “Sikkim” has been postponed for 06 April by the Art & Culture Trust [ACT] of Sikkim. The venue remains the same- Vajra cinema hall.
A press release issued by the secretary, ACT of Sikkim, Atul Kaura, informs that in view of the 2-day bandh called for 04 and 05 April, the world premiere of the much-awaited documentary film has been is rescheduled for 06 April, Wednesday.
The Trust has conveyed its apologies for the inconvenience caused to patrons and well-wishers due to the rescheduling of the program.

The bandh-enforced postponement is unfortunate because this documentary film, commissioned by Chogyal Palden Thendup Namgyal has waited for 40 years [it was completed in 1971] for its official premiere and was slated for its world premiere on 04 April, aptly, the birth anniversary of the Chogyal. That date will now be missed.
