Dev Bhoomi

WOW ! that someone could think so simply & portray that simplicity minimalistically so effortlessly for all to experience.

I associate with such alchemish movies & subjects alot!

Bravo for this effort & I hope wish more such products come out!

In this cinematic poem, a renowned Serbian/Balkan director/screenwriter makes movie magic when he tackles the subject of an NRI returning to his homeland, the northern Indian state where the land meets the sky (the country of the gods, Dev Bhoomi). The courage of women and the stubborn traditionality of men, as well as an intractable caste system and the struggle for enlightenment, are depicted with clarity and tenderness. A guruji in a Himalayan ashram prompting his devotee not to judge but rather, to know and love human beings, is typecast with the purity and simplicity of life affirmation. The colors are as vivid and wholesome as the mountain air, and the music is beguiling though unsentimental, unlike the standard syrupy songs by Bollywood. The Uttarakhand Himalayas are oddly evocative, to those of us who are familiar with the Balkans, of the ruggedness of the Balkan mountains. In fact, the two locales seem to be linked by a peculiar sense of familiarity in regards to the terrain as well as the treatment of women and attitude towards tradition. Thus, the film seems imbued with a synergic connection between the Balkans and northern India. Dare I conclude that it is very well possible that Serbia is closer to India than to its next- door Hungary?

Although movie is great but the story is all about what women has to face but neither all things that are shown are true nor they all are false.. it's all about the mentality of every person.. Or it's a remote area which is growing day by day and people are even growing and changing..now they are more aware about the education and other important factors that matters for womens,as compare to the earlier time... So yeah if you want to see the culture, people and the view of Uttrakhand this movie is great

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.

This is an exceptional movie. Can't believe the fact that such an authentic movie on Garhwal is a foreign production " Victor Banerji has once again proved that he is among the greatest actors. His body language, diction are unbelievably Garhwali. The ensemble cast is superb. Gitanjali Thapa and VK Sharma and Shalini Sunderiyal are gems. Hats off to the Serbians for producing this poetry on celluloid.
