Sorry, Amit. I have been so busy this last week and a half that I haven't been able to watch it. I'm shooting again today and am away this weekend. Can I still watch it next week when things slow down?

That, was just beautiful. I loved the sound track that enhanced the emotions. A story told by expression alone. No words were needed. I want to see the entire thing now please...

Talk about evoking emotion with expression alone...That was sheer poetry in motion Amit

You are welcome, and it is so true. Not one word needed to be conveyed... the soul did the talking. Sometimes it is when we say the least.... we speak volumes.

It seems to be a very good independent movie. I like what I saw and I'd like to see more! Keep us updated! Hope you are submitting to some festivals. Best of luck
Thanks Sylvie. sending you a pvt msg. pl check.
Thanks Vonn for your messages. Ekanth has been completed. I am doing the test screenings with peers from around the world to get an idea of how it has shaped up and perhaps get some great suggestions that I could incorporate in the post production stage before I release it for the wider audience on the net. This is more of a learning exercise for me as a filmmaker as I start my journey into the world of feature films. I am hugely grateful for all the lovely people here who have taken out time to watch the film and give their honest feedback and some very good valuable suggestions, some of which I am going to incorporate in the final film. Cheers!

Dear Amit, excellent scenes for our desperate crises in India and around the world. Unfortunately, distribution's a problem as I was just reading. Let's encourage each other to continue our filmmaking until we emerge from the upcoming Hollywood "implosion." Then we could work together. Best wishes.

dear Amit! I allocated time and watched your movie. I will tell the following. you are talented! you wrote and executed in the movie deep thought according to the contents. at the same time, if you want to receive popularity among the European viewer, you should consider to what in Europe the special attention is paid. it is a question of acting. about natural execution by actors of the roles. in my opinion, the best actors of your movie are the boy and the police officer as their characters were the most natural and real in the movie. you should arrive to Russia and Belarus on our festivals of short films and you will see as Russians actors play roles. how many energy and the true emotions in their work. then you will understand what I mean. it is sure that you won the Indian viewer, but you still should win the European viewer. I have no doubt you will succeed, Amit. with deep respect for your director's skill, yury krasnopolsky

Amit, looks impressive, suggest you add English subtitles for your audience. And for the background music just low music without the loud vocal, battam, battam, etc., or add some action music during the vehicle scene, etc.... Good Luck.

As always.... Intriguing. No words are needed, the facial expressions speak volumes. Haunting music and true to life.
Emotion in Motion...........
I would love to know more about the story. Is each person an island? I like the visuals and the soundtrack, but I wish the trailer had subtitles so I had a better idea what the story is about. As I mentioned in my message, please let me know if there is a subtitled version available.

Very interesting filmmaker. Here's a link to more information about Amit Mehra's films http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/coming-up-a-unique-short-film/201203....
Thank you lee....

At first, I thought, that the boy was a vision of the main character as a child. After another watch, I realise that the boy is a separate character. Yet, I still feel the boy was only in the main characters thoughts. So close, and yet so distant. I honestly thought the character was remembering an incident of himself as a child. Until, the boy helps him up and hands him his glasses. Beautifully filmed Amit. Beautiful cast also. The isolation the character felt, was wonderfully captured. Loved the choice of sounds that accompanied the piece also. I just wanted the film to go on... Thank you for sharing....
Thank you :)
