CATCH the screening of "Road to Ladakh" on January 6, 7 p.m., at Convention Centre, India Habitat Centre. This 55 minute, 35 mm film explores the relationship between its two protagonists, played by Koel Purie and Irfan Mir, the former a dysfunctional, coke snorting fashion model while latter is an ultra-focussed, strong, silent person. Hilarious and sinister, bizarre and moving, psychedelic and real, the movie delves into the inner search of its cast, wherein both are outsiders, lonely, craving the human contact that their roles in society deny them.
Written and directed by Ashwin Kumar, produced by Shomit Mitter, the film's sound track has been composed by Susmit Sen and recorded by his band, Indian Ocean.
