Animated movie about fisherwoman bags 63rd National Award

Studio Eeksaurus Productions Pvt. Ltd.’s Fisherwoman & Tuk Tuk, the animated movie that has been making news with 13 national and international awards, recently grabbed another prestigious award, the country’s most prestigious national award. Presented by President Pranab Mukherjee, the movie won the 63rd national award in the Best Animation Film Category.

The short film is set in a coastal village, where the heat of the Indian summers, the stench of dried fish, the triumph of human endeavour against odds, the thrill of adventure, the overexcited colours and loud music that blankets the solitude weave a story of a lonely fisherwoman who lives her dreams through her hard earned Tuk Tuk.

Suresh Eriyat, Studio Eeksaurus Founder & Creative Director, shared, “This is a moment of pride for the entire animation industry of India. After years of hard work and persistent belief in our industry, being applauded for our first short film, Fisherwoman & Tuk Tuk, that has rolled out from our studio has changed perspectives. We have been working non-stop not only to create great films through live action and animation, but also to create stories, which stay in the heart of our viewers forever. We will be soon showcasing this movie to our network and fraternity in the month of June. The entire team, supercharged after repeated recognitions both nationally as well as internationally, is ready to roll out the next big one from our studio this year. ”
