Panchvati

It is so refreshing to encounter a strong female character on screen. Sadhavi is a wise, perceptive artist who experiences the world with her whole being, walking barefoot on grass, waking early to watch the sunrise, and taking in the passing landscapes through a car window. Through its dusty frames, the film captures the beauty of Nepal, Its mountains, temples, culture and soulful music. The chemistry between Sadhavi and Vikram is quite unique as well. Even though they had only a few brief interactions, they seem to have a deep understanding and effortless connection. You don’t find this kind of intimacy in movies these days.  This film is a hidden gem.
