Background and release

4. Direction and Cinematography

Prasad Oak’s Directorial Vision: Prasad Oak, already an established actor, made his directorial debut with this film. He chose a subject that was deeply emotional and rooted in realism rather than commercial gimmicks. His direction is subtle; he relies on silences and glances rather than melodramatic dialogues. He successfully recreates the nostalgia of the 80s without letting it overshadow the narrative.

The story revolves around a middle-class couple, Shailesh and Katra, who have devoted their lives to caring for their mentally challenged 15-year-old son, Bachchu. The narrative takes a complex turn when Bachchu begins to experience sexual desires—a natural but difficult transition that his parents are unprepared to handle. The film meticulously captures their emotional turmoil, the strain on their marriage, and the societal pressures they face while trying to do what is best for their child. 🌟 Key Highlights National Recognition National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Marathi in 2017.
