First Film -Living Beyond the Line.
Ardent lover of nature, fun loving, Lover of literature with classic and relational theme and culture with rich and traditional. Like to spend time with quality people and friends when there are scopes of getting something, which later becomes impetus of living with values. Like to spend time listening to music that takes heart miles away far from the real world. I am on the way to make my first directed film 'Living Beyond the Line'. I developed idea of making an independent film during the Period I was assocuated with Raja Sen,an eminent director with 3 national awards. My first script was much more acceptable in terms of globalization and subject but budget contraint changed my idea to develop a story which would be conducive to my thoughts and execution.
Oneday during writing something on a medical site I discovered wonderful conversation between 3 women who were terminally ill and their days are numbered but they like to live life to the lees. I developed my story with 3 different types and ages of charecters who are lonely and starts developing an exellent relationship with each other. During their friendship they discover each of them has had a hidden desire that is not going to happen before their days. A young guy of age late 20s like to have his book published, a woman of 60 likes to see her friend whom she loved 35 years back.They drifted apart,A Cynical 70 years old man likes to have his son back to see him once with his new born baby girl.
At the end in spite of death of the old man before meeting his US return son the young writer starts writing about their dreams and relationsips for his new novel 'Living beyond the line' after his first published novel 'paradise in heart'.The woman meets his love somewhere in between their friendship with the help of these two men.
