Filmmaker Rima Das is celebrating two unusual feats—one, her independent film got the green light for a sequel, and two, the second edition was crafted so well that it bagged the top honour at an international film festival! Naturally, Das is elated. Village Rockstars 2, the sequel to her National Award-winning 2017 coming-of-age drama, has won the Kim Jiseok Award at the Busan International Film Festival.
