And, indeed, when you are a death photographer – someone who takes final portraits of the dead before their cremation at Varanasi’s burning grounds – as is Sooraj (Gyanendra Tripathi), you would probably think that you’re doing a job that will always be needed.

Barah X Barah (“Twelve by Twelve”) looks not only at Sooraj and his profession,...
