Description

Kaash at it’s core is a film about love, memory, and the challenge of accepting that the most permanent thing about life is change.

A boy yearns for a time, that has passed. Based loosely on the director’s own experiences with love, the film attempts to capture the passion, the fear, the belonging and the possession of young love. Set in the hustle bustle of contemporary India, the film is an amalgamation of the modern and developing. The film explores the differences between small towns and big cities, the seductive and often harsh world of “Bollywood”, as well as India’s complicated relationship with gender, class, and skin colour. We view the country-scape through the eyes of foreign travelers, non resident Indians and the widening aspirations of small town India. With the birth of a generation of young adults conditioned to put themselves first, Kaash is a melancholic exploration of finding a love that lasts against that very backdrop.
