In a move that’s already stirring hearts across social media, the trailer for ‘September 21′ has officially launched, spotlighting the devastating impact of Alzheimer’s on families. This Hindi-Kannada production, helmed by director Karen Kshiti Suvarna, arrives at a time when conversations around mental health and elder care are more vital than ever.
Clocking in at 2:26, the promo masterfully captures a father’s descent into forgetfulness, his world shrinking as dementia erodes his identity. Enter the son, a man caught in the crossfire of career dreams and paternal obligations, his face a canvas of guilt and resolve. The footage doesn’t shy away from the gritty details: repetitive questions, wandering eyes, and the quiet heroism of daily caregiving.
Suvarna’s vision extends beyond the illness, shining a light on caregivers’ invisible struggles—those tireless souls who sacrifice sleep, sanity, and self for their loved ones. Praveen Singh Sisodia anchors the lead as the afflicted father, supported by a stellar cast including Priyanka Upendra, Zarina Wahab, Ajit Shidaye, and Amit Behl.
Crafted with a script by Rajshekhar and evocative music by Vinay Chandra, the film emerges from a collaboration of Visika Films, FMD Productions, and Hamara Movie Filmsmax. Its prestigious debut at Cannes’ 79th edition in the Marche du Film on May 16, 2026, signals big things ahead, with a wide release slated for May 22.
‘September 21’ isn’t merely entertainment; it’s a clarion call to recognize, support, and humanize the battles waged in living rooms worldwide.
