Shree Jagannathanka NABAKALEBAR: Global Odia Movie Celebrating Lord Jagannath, Culture & Heritage

A Heartfelt Experience of Service to Lord Jagannath

From the pen of Sanjay Kumar Dalai

It is a pure bliss to be part of this grand movement celebrating Odisha’s culture, heritage, and devotion through the power of cinema. The journey continues.

Shree Jagannathanka NABAKALEBAR – The first Odia movie to reach maximum global screens across continents, starting from USA, navigating through Indonesia, and touching hearts in South Africa and beyond.

Special thanks to Producer & Director Mrs. Bini Jena Samal for envisioning and creating such a spectacular film, and to Spiritual Advisor Guruji Dr. Chandrabhanu Satpathy for his divine guidance and blessings.

The film features celebrated Odia artists such as Sidhant Mohapatra, Kuna Tripathy, Sritam Das, and Pinky Pradhan, along with Navpreet Arora as Kalapahada.

A Divine Journey Begins

For the first time in history, an Odia-language film is being screened across multiple countries, carrying the sacred story of Lord Jagannath’s Nabakalebar to audiences around the world.

Nabakalebar — meaning “the divine transformation” — is not merely a film; it is a spiritual odyssey capturing one of the most profound rituals in Sanatan Dharma, where Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra assume new forms, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

This historic cinematic creation is a tribute to Odisha’s rich culture, heritage, and faith, bringing the divine aura of Puri to the global stage. Through powerful storytelling, captivating visuals, and soul-stirring music, Nabakalebar bridges generations, languages, and nations — uniting millions in devotion and pride.

A Global Spiritual Celebration

From USA to Canada, from Indonesia to New Zealand, from South Africa to Singapore, and from UK to Australia, Odias and non-Odias alike are coming together to witness this sacred story unfold — not just in theatres, but in Jagannath temples and community auditoriums worldwide.

Each screening celebrates the universal message of transformation, spirituality, and humanity, reminding us that divine faith knows no borders.

Our Journey So Far

Our journey began with divine grace in Minneapolis, USA, where the Lord’s testing presence guided every step — through pain, fear, and faith. What began as a humble effort soon blossomed into a joyful global movement, touching every generation and reaching new shores.

With the same dedication and divine guidance, this mission continued across continents, culminating recently — amid challenges — in Vancouver, Canada, where the response overflowed with love, emotion, and devotion. People are connecting so spontaneously — as if called by the Lord Himself.

As they say, “When God wills, nobody can kill.”

Heartfelt thanks to Akhaya Mohanty bhai (Rhode Island, USA) — another devoted messenger tirelessly and selflessly driving this divine mission forward.

While English subtitles make the message accessible to all, a Hindi version is coming soon to reach audiences across India and the global Indian diaspora.

NABAKALEBAR – A Global Cinematic Movement

A film that connects faith, culture, and the world. I urge everyone to watch it at least once — to experience the depth of Jagannath culture and the timeless heritage of Odisha.

Jay Jagannath!
