DARAAR - GIRIJA OAK & ALPESH DIXIT'S LATEST RELEASE
Says director Ashim Sen, "The lockdown left people with no choices
but staying at home and thus spending increased amounts of time with their
spouses. This in turn led to causing increasing differences and marital
instability between them. I heard of several pandemic induced break-ups and
separations within the first phase of lockdown and was driven to bring reality
to screen. My film 'Daraar' leaves the audience with an open-ended conclusion
and thus all viewers can watch it and form their own individualistic
perspectives about this slice of life.
He further adds, "I'm humbled to have had the opportunity to
work with exceptional actors like Girija and Alpesh. We only did two readings
with them prior to filming and as the camera rolled their talent radiated in
every shot. One can't tell they are working together for the first time looking
at their chemistry."
Today, there is a lot of collated data and global statistics
available online on this particular subject of lockdown divorces. But it makes
a difference when you see a film that gives an insight of real issues between
partners; thus giving you another chance to review common thought processes.
