Dev Bhoomi

Being Uttarakhandi, I connected to this movie deeply. It shows the stigmas of caste & gender discrimination, child marriage, unemployment, etc. And how it impacts the life of village people. Set in the background of Baba Kedar's Kedarnath, it is one of the best cinematic experiences in the landscape of nature.

But, on a broader scale, it is a movie for anyone seeking redemption from this circle of livelihood, children, family, career, success... where it looks as if they have achieved a lot & yet feeling so brittle, so ignorant.. incomplete. It is a genuine story of how one remains connected to the roots, no matter how far one may go.

'Land of the Gods' beautifully captures the struggles & pain of the simple villagers in its purest form.

Directed by a Serbian, it shows the village as it is without any biases. Definitely a must watch. Rarest of the Rare Gem!

The movie touches your mind from the beginning and ends with grabbing your soul . The director exalted the beauty of uttarakhand and displayed it in such a manner . His research work is impeccable. The actors did commendable job. The final scene leaves you with mouth of your soul open to such spiritual cinematic end.

Devbhoomi (2016). This is not an epic-poetry seen through the eyes of a pilgrim or a tourist; Talking about the internal truths of Kedarnath region. This movie is a translation of the real life of the inhabitants of Devbhoomi; The usual believable form of the common day life. Seeing the union of Himalayas, Mandakini and infinite sky ... this region is called the meeting place of heaven and earth. The story of becoming a god of small people to the helpless and endangered has got a bright form here.

Another great attraction of this film is the Significant gathering of a bunch of senior actors. Victor has made Goran Pascaljevic's film even more expensive with the grace of his balanced acting.

The cinematography in this film is mesmerizingly beautiful. This serenity almost swaddles you. Rahul Negi(Victor Banerjee.--The truth he beholds, gleams through his eyes. Wonderful!.Thank you.
