Turtle is an Indian Hindi-language film directed by Dinesh S Yadav and Produced by Mr. Ashok H Choudhary. The film stars Sanjay Mishra, Amol Deshmukh, Teetu Verma, Yash Rajasthani, Ankit Sharma, Ramnath Choudhary and Monica Sharma.[2][3] The film is based on the issue of World Water Crisis. It had its premiere at the Jagran Film Festival on 2 July 2018[4][5] and has been selected in China Film Festival, Third Eye Asian Film Festival and Rajasthan International Film Festival.[6]
At 66th National Film Awards, Turtle received the National Film Award for Best Rajasthani Film.[7] The film is inspired by a real story of Mr. Ramkaran Choudhary (Bagod) from Village Dehlod, Rajasthan.
In this folktale, Turtle, digs the earth to deepen the water. The film is a metaphorical depiction of the turtle where in a drought struck village of Rajasthan, Sanjay Mishra (as Ramkaran Choudhary), is churning the parched, sun baked earth, to extract water and the common folk indulged in a tug of war, rotating on his shell, desperate to quench their thirst.
Turtle has been shot in and around Jaipur, Phagi and Kudli village of Rajasthan.[8]
