screening and Q&A with Director Bipin Nadkarni
at IMC Theater in San Jose
Sunday, May 11th at 1.00 p.m.
Estranged from her husband, Shakun had
preferred to live in Pune for many years now.
Besides her job only one thing mattered to her
the most, Bunty, her 11 year old son. Her only
solace in this world.
Bunty too lived a happy life with his mother on
one side and Aatyabai (his caretaker) on the
other. He was lost in his world of paintings, flowers
and butterflies. He had accepted the bitter past of
his parents’ and was content meeting his father
once a month.
But with the time Bunty’s world had changed. Both
his parents had found their respective
companions and were resettling in life. Bunty
could not accept another man in his mother’s life,
or come to terms with another woman in his father’
s world.
Which of the two worlds would he choose?
Which world did he belong to?
‘Aevdhe se Abhaal’ literally means ‘a tiny little sky
It is something all of us crave for, not out of greed
but for a desire to be happy. A desire to be
happy, even at the cost of making us sad.
This is the irony of Bunty’s small little family. It is a
sensitive story of 10 year old Bunty coming to
terms with the separation of his parents.
I have thoroughly enjoyed filming this beautiful
story of Mannu Bhandari. It has given me the
pleasure of making 4 films at a time!!!
