Director says
'Pahuna is full of hope, that's why resonated with all'
Meanwhile, Paakhi said the film is a symbol of hope, something that helps people get by in a tough world.
"Hope is what we all need. Like one of the characters in the film says, 'It's never all dark, there is always light.' Pahuna is full of hope. That is the reason it resonated with audiences young and old across the globe," she added.
