The documentary takes us into the first-hand experience of Vansh Pandita, a Kashmiri Pandit, who returns to his ancestral village for the first time since his family left it in April 1990. The subsequent narrative that comes to life is heartfelt and marked by true earnestness. It is weaved with care and emotion and exhibits notable potential in terms of storytelling and portraying the world based on the protagonist’s interactions.
The journey commences to usher in crucial perspectives about what it means to leave a home behind, and the deep scars that follow, some of which perhaps can never heal. At the same time, a sense of indomitable hope for a better future, one marked by newer, younger voices, and their dreams and aspirations, never truly leaves the film. All of these together ensure meaningfulness and sincerity in the endeavor, one that paves the path for many more to come.
