The Fable

Brilliantly crafted and refreshingly authentic film that dives deep into the quirks of rural Himalayan life. With non-professional actors, The Fable, like Thithi captures a genuine, unfiltered charm that's rare in cinema. Reddy's storytelling is masterful, blending humor, warmth, Indian spirituality, and social insight effortlessly. This movie is a standout experience-rich, funny, and deeply resonant.

The Himalayas and the orchards were shown beautifully in the film. Cinematography is just brilliant. The long opening shot is breathtaking.

Watched it at the Berlin Film Festival. A must watch.

A beautiful movie which takes you to 80's era and makes you feel so nostalgic about your grandma's stories .. and make you feel that it has come alive .. The Vfx is actually like you'll see something in your imagination while listening to a story.. it's so beautifully written and directed by Raam Reddy and the Cast which you would feel played and is so apt for their roles .. The Legend Manoj Bajpayee and Deepak Dobriyal and Priyanka Bose are so good in thr characters that you immediately connect to them .. and new Face Hiral Sidhu's work is so amazing as a protagonist , rebellion teenage daughter with so much potential in her .. A must watch movie.

THE FABLE....is an enriching experience in itself for all the students and admirers of cinema. It's a well fabricated work of story,direction, acting, sound ,camera,lights.

A story flowing from a normal looking prevailing situation ,culminating into a spiritual awakening. The story and direction keeps you engrossed, camera sound and lights takes you to that era, actors justifies their being... .... Dev as searcher,Nandani as provider, Mohan as moderator,Vanya as soul,Juju as freshness.

You will leave the theaters with some thoughts in your minds and smile on your face...." woh log kahan chale gaye "....

The Fable has a peculiar charm. Maybe it's the Uttarakhand mountains where it was shot. Maybe it's the 16 mm grainy effect that also gives it a cosy and tantalizing effect. I almost felt like I was in the film because that is the quality of production The Fable delivers, with a plot so arresting that you're bound to be involved. The head of a family of four experiences mysterious breaks of fire at his orchard that he suspects to be arson and so begins his quest to find out who it could be. I have watched 9 films so far at the ongoing MAMI Mumbai Film Festival and none of them has floored me like The Fable did. The attention to detail and the score are terrific, not to mention the now famous single-shot opening sequence. It was jaw-dropping and I loved it.

(Watched at the revised version's world premiere at the 2024 MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.)

From the first single shot to the flight of the Life!
