A Billion Colour Story

Movie Review
Film- A Billion Colour Story

Writer / Director - Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy
Genre- Drama

A Billion Colour Story is an excellent story that needs to be told. It is a story of the problems that plague India like that religious prejudice, intolerance, domestic violence and social disparities.

It is a story about a small family consisting of a film -maker couple and their eleven year old son who have shifted base from Australia. The couple, Parvati is Hindu while her husband is Imran Aziz, a Muslim. Both of them are not religiously inclined. Their son , Hari Aziz is mature beyond his age and has an inquiring mind.

The story runs at a steady pace and is full of instances that show what is wrong with Indian society. Imran is shown to be an optimist who believes that there is hope for India in spite of circumstances being really difficult for the family at times. the couple decide to make a film and due to dire financial conditions , they have to sell their house. They face various challenges in their effort to find a house and fund their film. The lead actors did an amazing job and were ably supported by their co-actors.

This is a beautiful film about respect and mutual understanding, religious tolerance and about a better India. It is a story of hope and understanding that this country can do better as there are so many Indians who believe in her.Just as there are evil people and haters , there are also many people who can make this country a better place for all.

The film effortlessly moves from colour frames to black and white. We watch the story through the eyes of an eleven year old Hari who asks the right questions and makes us think about where hatred can take us. He shares his fathers positive outlook in the beginning and as the film progresses, we see him becoming more pessimistic and scared.

This film has won many international accolades. It is produced by Satish Kaushik who also plays a small role in the film. It is an inspiring film about respect and understanding between people following different religions. It is a film about hope for a better India, a united India.

This is a must watch. It is an inspirational, heart rending, tragic and realistic film..
