Ram Bandhu salutes our local everyday heroes this Diwali with short film 'A Soulful Diwali - Khare Prakashparva'

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 2 (ANI/NewsVoir): India's leading food FMCG company, Empire Spices and Foods Ltd. (ESFL) popular for its flagship brand Ram Bandhu has released a Marathi short film titled 'A soulful diwali - Khare Prakashparva'.
The heart-touching campaign was created with the aim of supporting and honouring selfless community workers like local Kirana store owners, the milkman, the vegetable vendors, the sweepers and other such silent warriors who worked tirelessly during the pandemic.
The film captures the story of a Kirana store owner played by award-winning Marathi actor Kishor Kadam at Gokuldham Society and his apprehensions through the journey of the poignant film.
"At Ram Bandhu we feel indebted to the countless COVID warriors who are helping us fight this pandemic. We wanted to express our gratitude through this film. This Diwali let us light a lamp in the honour of the COVID warriors of our neighbourhood; the local Kirana store owner, the milkman, the vegetable vendors, the sweepers and other such silent warriors," shared Hemant Rathi, Chairman, ESFL.
Commenting on the film, Umesh Rathi, Managing Director, ESFL said, "Small businesses have taken a hit during the pandemic and are still recovering from the impact of it. The local retail stores have played a pivotal role in providing the households with essential goods while risking their own health and safety. This film is a salute to all such selfless Samaritans."
Renowned Actor, Shivaji Satam who features in the film shared, "The script was so heart touching that I couldn't say no to it despite having several other engagements.
