Pyre is finally arriving in Indian theatres, and it carries the kind of quiet emotional weight that stays with you long after the credits roll. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vinod Kapri, the film releases on October 30, 2026.
Set in the Himalayas, Pyre follows an elderly couple living in a village that is slowly emptying. Their days are shaped by silence, distance and the long wait for a son who left home 28 years ago. It is a love story, yes—but one told through companionship, memory and the small everyday moments that hold two people together.
The film was shot in Uttarakhand, and that setting feels central to its mood. The mountains are not just a backdrop; they reflect the isolation and tenderness at the heart of the story.

Pyre first premiered at the 28th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2024, where it won the Best Film PÖFF Audience Award. It later opened the 16th Bengaluru International Film Festival, marking its Indian premiere, and earned a Jury Special Mention in the Asian Cinema Competition.
The recognition did not stop there. The film picked up audience awards in Spain, London and Birmingham, along with the Best Feature Film Grand Jury Award in Stuttgart, Germany. Clearly, Pyre has been quietly winning hearts across festivals.
The music comes from Mychael Danna and Amritha Vaz, adding another emotional layer to this intimate Himalayan tale. The film is produced by Bhagirathi Films and Mashakbeen Studios.
