Awards

"The NETPAC Award for the best Asian film at Festival 2013 goes to Qissa, directed by Anup Singh, for its sensitive portrayal of the issues of identity and displacement that affect people not only in India, but in all parts of the world and for brilliance of cinematic craft and the choice of metaphor that has been employed to tell a moving story that is bound to provoke thoughts, spark debate and give its viewers an intense experience."

For performance, controlled acting and very brave story with a complex and effective ending.

For its brave fusion of the historical epic, the transgender film and most unexpectedly, a ghost story.

For the beautiful script, the quality of acting and the beauty of the picture.
