A film about Young India
Manasarovar was shown at the Kolkata Film Festival, in November 2005. The hall was full to capacity. Throughout the screening you could feel that the audience fully identified with the characters in the film. There was a psychological symbiosis. Why? Modestly, yet effectively, Manasarovar tells a story of young India and of her quest for answers to questions regarding life and love. "What do you want to do with your life? and "How come you are not married?" ask both George and Ravi. "I don't know," replies Malathy.
Through a long interaction, Malathy and Ravi dispel the clouds in their minds and arrive at clarity of vision. Not yet, perhaps, the purity of mythical lake Manasarovar, but they journey towards it. The lake remains an unattainable goal: what matters is to keep running up the hill of life.
