Love and Shukla
Love and Shukla
(world premiere at Busan, European premiere at Tallinn Black Nights, North American premiere at Palm Springs International Film Festival, NETPAC Award winner) is the story of sex, love and the search for privacy in a small, one-room Mumbai chawl. It's the story of arranged marriage in today's crowded cities and the first week in a young couple's life as they struggle for space and intimacy. Shukla, an auto driver from an orthodox Brahmin family, has never intimately known a woman other than the celluloid starlets he watches every day on the 4 inch display of his mobile phone. When his mother arranges his sudden marriage, Shukla and his new wife face the experience of so many couples in Mumbai: a new marriage, no experience in a relationship and a joint family love nest that offers no space for sex, much less a conversation. Their only respite is a line of old suitcases set up by his father to separate them from the family, a cell phone and a city of 18 million eyes. The film stars Saharsh Kumar Shukla whose recent films include Bollywood blockbusters Raees, Rangoon, Highway, Ugly and Telvar. This is director Siddhartha Jatla's first feature. It was produced on a self-funded micro-budget of $15,000 USD. His short film, The Artist, premiered at Busan.
