Latest Production:
Harmony of Healing
The latest documentary from Kaur Films, Harmony of Healing, premiered in Toronto and later screened in Los Angeles and New Delhi.
This profoundly moving and deeply relatable film explores the extraordinary life of Major General Dr. Lakhvinder Singh Vohra (Retd.), a globally respected oncologist who spent his career saving countless lives — yet could not save the people dearest to him. When his wife is diagnosed with cancer, his world collapses, leading him into a period of deep personal loss and emotional breakdown. From that devastation, he finds the strength to rebuild — and begins a remarkable new chapter as a singer.
At its core, Harmony of Healing is a powerful meditation on grief, resilience, and renewal. It reflects the enduring spirit of chardi kala — the ability to remain hopeful, grounded, and life-affirming even through the hardest trials. Dr. Vohra’s story is a reminder that healing is not linear, and that even after unimaginable loss, it is possible to rediscover meaning, joy, and fulfillment.

Its first documentary, The Odd Couple, screened at 10 film festivals worldwide, including the United Nations Association Film Festival, and was specially invited to the Parliament of the World’s Religions — a rare honor. The film is now available on Amazon Prime.
