Homegrown - EP 1 | Echoes of Namma Metro | Aparna Vastarey | Fujifilm | Bengaluru

#nammametro #AparnaVastarey #bangalore #fujifilm
Echoes of Namma Metro is the first episode of a three-part docu-series called "Homegrown"
One voice is heard across Bangalore every day, and it's not the voice of a politician, nor the mayor, and neither is it an auto guy saying "baralla". It is the voice of Namma Metro. A voice that millions of Bangaloreans hear every day, the voice they take directions from, and live with while traveling around the city through the metro. Echoes of Namma Metro brings you the face behind that voice.
Shot and Directed by Vikas Badiger
Music by Sagar Shastri and Athreya Vishal Kalbag
Production Support by Sharan GC, Nishanth A, Venu Gopal, and Manish Jangid
Special Thanks to Manasa Sharma
Shot on Fujifilm Xh2s camera as part of the B'LORE grant for BIC.

Superb ma'am....not even one word of English in your interview 👏 👍 👌 🙌

[@fobdocs]

True. Very true

[@sierralimaa]

That's something i love about her - be it in Doordarshan or in any Film industry or Govt or any anchoring her Kannada control is very commendable.

[@fobdocs]

@@sierralimaa One of the best ❤❤

[@shreyar1810]

Phone,voice sample-all these are what?

[@sudh111]

“Garden city “ thing is if one single English word comes out of aparna it will be sounded weird she has shuddha kannada voice

[@adithyahk]

Even KSRTC USES HER VOICE AND very soothing to our ears to hear her say " EE BUSSU ಈ ಬಸ್ಸು ...ಹೊರಡುತ್ತದೆ". Metro has done a great job by picking her and made it truly a Namma metro

[@666Kudos]

This women is such a Nostalgia for whole Kannadiga millennial community bro I mean... I remember visiting Grandpa place late 90's First thing I would see is this Women on DD. Chandana. I Remember fighting with my elder sisters for the channel to changed from this women reciting news to Cartoon. Ah... Good times.
