Set to hit UK and Irish cinemas on 18 September 2026, this remarkable film chronicles the extraordinary true story of PK, a Delhi street artist who embarked on a life-changing 6,000-mile bicycle journey in search of love.

A Journey Fueled by Love

The tale begins in 1977 when 23-year-old PK, hailing from an impoverished family considered 'untouchable' within India's caste system, decided to risk everything for the woman he adored. Armed with only a handful of paintbrushes, a second-hand bicycle, and an unwavering belief in the power of love, he set out on an adventure that would surpass mere romance and transform into a powerful narrative of resilience, self-discovery, and hope.

An Authentic Glimpse into a Love Story

This documentary goes beyond traditional storytelling, as the filmmakers gained unprecedented access to PK and Lotta's personal archives. The film is enriched with decades of photographs, intimate home videos, and a touching collection of handwritten love letters, bringing their journey to life with rare authenticity and emotional depth. The portrayal of their younger selves by rising actors Chirag Benedict Lobo and Mina Dale further enhances the vivid depiction of their incredible romance.

‘The Cycle of Love’ is not merely a documentary; it is an inspiring reminder of love's power to transcend boundaries and transform lives. This heartfelt journey promises to resonate deeply with audiences, encouraging them to believe in the profound impact of love and the lengths one might go to preserve it.
