After its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, director Kanu Behl’s much-anticipated film Agra is finally set to release in Indian cinemas on November 14, 2025.
A Social Family Drama Coming to Theatres
Agra is a social family drama that explores deep-rooted emotional and societal tensions. The film, which has received critical acclaim at international film festivals, is finally making its way to the big screen for Indian audiences.
The movie features Rahul Roy, Priyanka Bose, and Mohit Agarwal in lead roles. The story is rooted in the everyday struggles of a lower middle-class family, highlighting the emotional and generational conflicts within.
Plot Overview: A Family Torn Between Spaces, Struggles, and Desires
Set in the bustling city of Agra, the film revolves around a young man named Guru (played by Mohit Agarwal) who lives in a cramped house with his uneducated father and his father’s mistress. Guru works at a call center and is in love with a colleague, Mala (played by Ruhani Sharma).
His dream is simple — to have a private room on the terrace, where he and Mala can be together in peace. However, this small wish becomes complicated, as other family members have their own plans for the space.
Guru’s desire for personal space and romantic intimacy is constantly challenged by his oppressive environment, eventually pushing him into a state of frustration, delusion, and emotional breakdown.
A Window into Repression and Patriarchy
Agra offers a powerful lens into the sexual repression, patriarchal expectations, and mental toll faced by many in modern India. It addresses uncomfortable truths about family structures, societal control, and the lack of autonomy, particularly within lower middle-class households.
The film also touches upon the strained relationship between father and son, and how economic constraints, generational divides, and patriarchal norms can shape — and damage — personal identity and emotional well-being.
A Much-Awaited Theatrical Release
After a successful run at global film festivals, Agra is finally getting its theatrical release. The film is set to hit selected cinemas across India on November 14, 2025.
