Utsav Bhowmik

A film to ponder upon....a film that reveals the true face of society in the most touching way possible..with all intricacies and emotions entwined in a heady but grounded sequence of flawless storytelling....From the fathomless yearning of Chintu for Chhoti...and likewise...for the selfless Anarkali who gives up her honour each night to save Chhoti from Raja...to the love that develops between Chhoti and Noor.....to the stigma of society that wishes to separate the untouchable chhobi from the widow Noor....to the teachings of Noor that gives chhoti wings to fly.....to the brutal murder of Noor.....and the promise kept by Chhoti to color her atleast once....to the fighting of Chhoti ..now Noor Saxena as an advocate for rights of Transgenders like Anarkali...and rights of widows to celebrate Holi...to pay homage to Noor....whome she wished to call mother someday....to the last words kept by Chintu...to his beloved chhoti..that he would be a police to safeguard Chhoti....... Mesmerized....saddened....yet strengthened from deep within.... Even the moon outshines the sun some days.....strive for that day to come.... And yes....where the mind is without fear...and head held high......Lines from Tagore...our sole shelter in tumultuous times.....
