A New Year begins?
TWIN REALITY "Devaki" is based on a real life incident that happened in Madhya Pradesh
The experiment spree continues in Bollywood. In the very first week of the year two films 15 Park Avenue and Devaki hit the screens. Both the films have female characters leading the charge. If Aparna Sen's 15 Park Avenue questions the reality through a patient of schizophrenia, Bappaditya Bandopadhyay's work has been in news for quite a few months now. The film has already been screened at many international film festivals and has recently bagged the Best Feature Film Award at the Ashville International Film Festival.
Real life
Starring Suman Ranganathan and Perizaad Zorabian in lead roles along with Arvin Tukker and Ram Kapoor, the bi-lingual film is based on a real life story where a tribal girl was sold for Rs.5000 in a village in Madhya Pradesh. Devaki also brings out irrespective of the economic status and literacy levels women are still treated as a commodity in our society. Suman and Perizaad represent the faces on the two sides of the spectrum.
The film's music composed by Sameer P, Bikram Ghosh and Amar Haldipur is not for everybody though. Brought out by Music Today, the album has three songs and rest all are background pieces. There is a strong rural appeal in the music for which Sameer P deserves credit.
