"Those who love India know...it’s hard to explain exactly why. It’s dirty, it’s poor, it’s infested. Sometimes it’s deceitful and dishonest, often smelly, corrupt, merciless, and indifferent. Yet, once you encounter it, you can't live without it" Tiziano Terzani.

REVIEWS:

Beautiful shots, but, without context - it's not a story. It's more like news od India and its beautiful people.

A nice sketch—and quite impressive.

Live Screenings Attendee

An astonishingly beautiful, vibrant, and atmospheric film. In just a short time, it creates a deep sense of immersion into everyday life in India as it is right now—among ordinary people.

Anastasiia Live Screenings

Some places never let you go. Even when you leave, they stay inside you. Goodbye India is about that feeling—the weight of departure, the impossibility of forgetting.

Ethan Brown

If you've been to India, you’ll feel this film in your bones. The chaos, the beauty, the contradiction—it’s all there. If you haven't, this might be the closest you'll ever get to understanding it without stepping foot on its soil.

Andres Martinez Hernandez

I could smell the dust. Feel the heat. Hear the distant horns and temple bells, even in the silence. Few films can make you experience a place like this one does.

Javier Martinez Perez

India is neither paradise nor hell. It’s a contradiction, and this film isn’t afraid to show it. But is it nostalgia, or is it just another outsider’s gaze romanticizing the struggle? It left me questioning, which means it did its job.

Ethan Wong

When done right, silence is louder than words. This film understands that. A masterclass in visual storytelling, using light, movement, and composition to evoke something beyond language.

Tom Kauss

Six minutes. No dialogue. But I swear, I heard everything.

Jef Liva

Leaving India is never just leaving a place. It’s leaving a rhythm, a scent, a chaos that somehow feels like home. This film captures that ache perfectly.

Marta Torres Serrano

Every frame breathes. Every color pulses. Every shadow tells a story. No words, yet endless emotion. A love letter, a farewell, an embrace, a wound.
