Mantra

In 1991, the Indian government initiated economic reforms that introduced globalization, dramatically transforming the nation. Fast forward twelve years, and India was celebrating its rise as a global economic powerhouse. Set against the backdrop of the 2004 ‘India Shining’ campaign, the film “Mantra” delves into the personal struggles of a family, reflecting the broader narrative of a changing India. The story centers on Kapil Kapoor, who once thrived as the creator of a beloved Indian snack brand during the ‘License Raj’ era. However, by 2004, he finds himself struggling against a multinational corporation that has dominated the market. Kapil’s battle extends beyond his business; he is also striving to support his wife and children, who are facing their own challenges.
