Published on 26 Apr 2013 On 31 October 1984, Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards. On 01 November 1984, riots erupted in Delhi. The mob swarmed into Sikh neighborhoods, killing any Sikh men, women & children they could find. The riots went on for next three days. According to official figures, around 3000 Sikhs were killed and many more were rendered homeless. Jagjeet is a short film about a man, Sikh by religion filled with guilt that he could not save his childhood friend during the 1984 Sikh massacre in India because he got scared and now haunted by this feeling, he finds difficult to live with everyday mundane life. The film takes a pithy and uncompromising look at the relentless guilt that invariably follows Jagjeet after he fails to save his best friend because of fear of his own life from rioters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roU1X23Iu4s Achievements: Best Short Film, International Film Festival, Jaipur, India Best Short Film, Indian International Journalism Festival, India Best Short Film, 6th Indonesian Film Festival Best Short Film, Sikh International Film Festival, New York, NY Best Student Short Film, Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival, India Best Student Short Film, Academy Awards, Noida, India Certificate of Merit for Best: Short Fiction Student Film, Indian Documentary Producer's Association, 2010 Best Sound Design, International Film Festival, Pune, India Special Jury Mention, Fujifilm Indradhanush Film School Competition for Cinematography Nominated for SIGNIS award in Insight Festival, UK Official Selection, 13th Norrköping Flimmer Film festival, Sweden Official Selection, The National Short Film Festival at IMT Nagpur Official Selection, 8th Kolkata Short Film Festival, India Official Selection, 3rd International Film Festival Ahmedabad, India Official Selection, 4th Documentary & Short Film Festival of Kerala Official Selection, 8th Noussa Short Film Festival, Greece Official Selection, Ca'Foscari Short Film Festival, Venice Official Selection, Indian Film Festival 'Bollywood and Beyond', Germany Official Selection, International Short Film Festival Detmold, Germany Official Selection, 5th International LUMS film festival, Lahore, Pakistan Official Selection, International Short Film Festival, Guwahati, India Official Selection, International Film Festival, Bhubaneswar, India Official Selection, International Reeload Film Fest at Manipal University,
