The well

Vihir (2009)

Directed by Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni this film stars Madan Deodhar, Alok Rajwade and Mohan Agashe. Two teenage cousins reconnect at a gathering for their extended family but find they both have different out looks on life.

If you do not like art films then this film is not one for you, the second half in particular is slow moving, minimal on dialogue and becomes increasingly ambiguous which can be a bit tedious. The plot has some interesting philosophical depth but sometimes the mundane tasks of the day to day life of the characters seems to get in the way of exploring the themes of the film. Being beautifully shot certainly helps the film and I think there is plenty to gain from it but this is not one for all audiences.


4/5
