Pankh------- contemporary art on Silver Screen


Pankh- From Sanjay Gupta's Art House, is an amazing piece of contemporary art. Pankh is about Rebello who suffers from identity crisis as being playing the girl child character in bollywood industry. When he grows up, he finds it difficult to know himself and goes through identity crisis. Being teased by children from school, he could never finish his education. overall brought up in a family, where not a day was passed without fights or badwords. Lillete Dubey has justified her character with her charm and efforts. Rebello, is always left alone, and couldnt really mix with others. There he immerses himself into Drinking, Smoking and even doping.
And all that comes to his company, is his imagination Bipasaha.
Bipasha, is his fascination Nandini. But her existence, identity, is all a mystery. Bipasha's role is to help Rebello, to come out of his obstacles, face them with courage and inspire him. But does Rebello always listen to her?
Also when people discover, that Rebello, who want's to become an actor today, had played Baby Kusum in early age. The Girl who became instantly famous, wasn't a girl, but a guy, who is the reality Rebello today.
Rebello's fight for identity, affection from a childhood friend Salim, Craving for Motherly love, The mystery of Bipasha (Nandini) is Pankh.
Rebello's fight for survival and fly in the sky................. is Pankh.
What makes Pankh................... a great film is not a thing, but everthing about it.
The Cinematography is excellent, with artistic camera angles ans neon as well dark shades of light.
Lillete's acting is brave and realistic.
Background score as well the music is echoing.......... and you will yeearn for more of it.
Bipasha has got about seven to eight avatars, which are larger than life. She is stunning, vivacious and a diva. If i compare her whole life career, she has never been so stunning ever before. One would always want to see more of her on the screen.
Dialogues are very bold, realistic as well Bipasaha's lines are poetic, and imaginitive.
The film is short and very well shot. The Climax is artistically done, with a plethora of emotions, which makes it an edge of the seat performance.
The film is dark, brave............ and meant for people who like the cinema to be very different and have the capability to digest such a film.
My verdict is 4 stars.
