Bringing in front the harsh reality of the ‘paradise on earth’, ‘No Fathers in Kashmir’ is a drama set in one of the most politically imbalance state of the country.
The movie producer delivers a fierce and brutal truth of the Kashmir Valley through the eyes of youthful Noor (Zara Webb) and Majid (Shivam Raina). At the point when Noor discovers that both their dads were 'grabbed' by the Indian armed force years back, with no updates on them since, she needs to discover more. Her examining unwinds an unexpected end result including the twofold dealings of a venerated, radical nearby pioneer, Arshid (Ashvin Kumar).
In spite of the inauspicious story it embarks to deliver, No Fathers in Kashmir is sprinkled with inspiring, light snapshots of communication which convey a grin to your face. Particularly the minutes among Noor and Majid that in the long run forms into a delicate romantic tale despite the fact that their present substances and conditions are so unique.
Captivatingly shot (notwithstanding the portable camera shots which are bumping), the film absorbs you the stunning magnificence of Kashmir and makes a piercing juxtaposition with the scars of contention obvious in the valley. Add to that, the eerie foundation score that is generally drawn from neighborhood people music, including its very own measurement. The screenplay is gently offset with the movie producer featuring the difficulty on the two finishes. While the story is tragic and for the most part grasping, the pace of the film does disappoint now and again.
The radiantly skilled Bollywood artists, Soni Razdan and Kulbhushan Kharbanda add their weight to the film as Noor's grandparents in Kashmir. While Razdan's emotive eyes do the majority of the acting, Kharbanda's character is the voice of reason in the film. Ashvin Kumar as Arshid assumes a pivotal job, adequately. In any case, it's the guiltless appeal of the lead pair Zara Webb and Shivam Raina that radiates through - particularly Raina who contacts a harmony as Majid.
This film is a piercing story that abandons you contemplating the half-widows and half-orphans, and more such untold stories.
