<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif"><b>SILIGURI,:</b> The Hindi trailer of the historical action-drama ‘Four Rivers Six
Ranges’ (originally titled Chushi Gangdruk) was launched in Siliguri on Monday,
ahead of its nationwide theatrical release on September 11. The film will be
screened across PVR cinemas and other theatres throughout India.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Inspired
by true events from Tibetan history, the film tells the remarkable story of the
Chushi Gangdruk (Four Rivers, Six Ranges), a Tibetan volunteer resistance force
that escorted Tenzin Gyatso safely across the Himalayas into India in 1959
following the Chinese military takeover of Tibet.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The
film is directed, written and co-composed by Shenpenn Khymsar and is based on
the book ‘Flight at the Cuckoo's Behest’ by producer Dorjee Wangdi Dewatshang.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Speaking
to the media during the trailer launch, Khymsar described the project as the
most significant work of his career and revealed the challenges faced while
making the film.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"The
most difficult part was completing the entire shoot in Mustang, Nepal, within
just 19 days. The shooting location was close to the China border, making the
production extremely challenging," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Khymsar
further alleged that there were attempts to stop the project from progressing.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">"The
Chinese government tried to stop this film, but I never gave up. Even the
certification process was delayed after the External Affairs Ministry paused
the certification. After continuous efforts and clarification, we finally
obtained the required clearance," he said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Describing
the film as deeply personal, Khymsar remarked, "This is the biggest
anti-China film made by a 'Bhote' born in Darjeeling." He added that the
movie is not merely a cinematic project but an attempt to preserve an important
chapter of Tibetan history and present it to audiences around the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The
Hindi version of the film features a voiceover by acclaimed Bollywood actor
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, bringing the story closer to mainstream Indian audiences.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">The
event was attended by veteran filmmaker Tulsi Ghimire, who praised the project,
saying Shenpenn Khymsar has never been known for making purely entertaining
films but instead creates bold, aggressive and thought-provoking cinema that
encourages audiences to reflect on history and society.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Film
producer Sushma Gurung from Sikkim also lauded the trailer and congratulated
Khymsar for bringing the powerful story to the screen. She expressed confidence
that the film would resonate with audiences for its historical importance and
emotional depth.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">Shot
entirely amid the spectacular landscapes of Mustang in Nepal, "Four Rivers
Six Ranges" has already received appreciation at international film
festivals for its compelling storytelling, stunning cinematography and
historical significance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif">With
its nationwide release scheduled for September 11, the film aims to introduce
audiences to a lesser-known chapter of Tibetan history while paying tribute to
the courage, sacrifice and resilience of the Tibetan people. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
