Directed by Satish Munda and produced by Ultra Media & Entertainment, the award-winning short film premieres on International Day Against Nuclear Tests, with CEO Sushilkumar Agrawal and COO Rajat Agrawal underscoring its role in sparking dialogue on progress and human impact
Ultra Media & Entertainment Group announced that its platforms Ultra Play OTT and Ultra Bollywood YouTube Channel will premiere the short film Jadugoda on August 29, coinciding with the International Day Against Nuclear Tests.
The film, directed by Satish Munda and produced by Sushilkumar Agrawal, CEO of Ultra Media & Entertainment, examines the impact of uranium mining on tribal communities in Jharkhand’s Jadugoda region. It captures the daily lives of those who live near the mines, revealing how development and exploitation collide in ways rarely acknowledged in mainstream discourse.
Rajat Agrawal, COO of Ultra Media & Entertainment, said the release is part of the company’s commitment to backing films that go beyond entertainment to address pressing social realities. He added that making Jadugoda available globally ensures that these stories of displacement and resilience reach audiences outside India as well.
The film has already been recognised on the international festival circuit, winning awards for its storytelling and for spotlighting issues of environmental justice. Its streaming debut comes at a moment when conversations about sustainable development, indigenous rights, and the hidden costs of progress are gaining traction worldwide.
By choosing August 29 for the release, Ultra Media & Entertainment ties Jadugoda to a global day of reflection on nuclear testing and its aftermath, positioning the film as both a piece of cinema and a catalyst for dialogue.
