April May 99

Simpler the story more skill is needed to fill it with right scenes and words that lets a theme emerge. Here one is taken to a idealic surrounding of village school,joint family ,coastal culture and agriculture with universal vulnerable sensibility of teenage years.3 friends grown tall but mind heart soul of children are thrown in contrast with a urban girl of same age different perceptions. Scenes float by you as you risk a lapse into your own unique Teen years and a vacation to grandparent or Mama Chya Ghari Jauuu Ya children rhyme .Let us go to Maternal uncle grandparent home by a chook chook gaadi train is the rhyme sung by all born as a marathi.

The time flies and film stops leaving you in mid air for a moment ,then bringing you back to today. To reminisce about your own experiences many years back.

Cinematography is lucky as Geography it has to capture is a known captivation. But responsibility is fully met, justice done .I would watch it again even for that Beauty of konkan .

Faces of teens are natural. Scenes not composed artificially .Elders float into scenes doing the needed supportive role .Teens steal your heart. For a few the film might leave a sense of loss of those years .We need such films .
