Milestone for time-loop film

THE trailer of the Tamil film, Jango, billed as India’s first time-loop sci-fi movie, was released this week.

A time-loop film is one where characters experience the same period of time, which is repeatedly reset. In such films, when a certain condition is met, such as the death of a character or a clock reaching a certain hour, the loop starts again, with one or more characters retaining memories from the previous loop.

The trailer release marks yet another milestone in the movie’s laborious progress to the screens. The shoot was completed before the second lockdown and the post-production work was done after life returned to normal post Covid.

Mrinalini Ravi and Satheesh Kumar play the lead roles in the film. |
