Directors Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal feel their 2024 film, Dukaan, may be having its moment now. Centred on commercial surrogacy, the Monika Panwar-led drama has been selected for screening at the Yokohama International Film Festival that kicks off on May 1.  

Singh revealed that Dukaan went through a multi-stage selection process before making the cut. “We were informed in early March that we had cleared a few rounds, but it was only on March 17 that we received confirmation of our selection. It’s been a long process,” he said.
