NIRJARA | Animation short film 2023 | NID Ahmedabad

Aniket and Venkat, two brothers are at the Varanasi ghat to perform the last rites of their deceased mother. Aniket, the younger, has spent his entire life in the shadow of his older brother who is sought as the 'man' after their father. Always ahead of him -even now, as the older son performs the last rite rituals of their mother according to the Hindu tradition. Throughout the film Aniket questions his position as a son and challenges his relationship with his brother.

This is beautiful ❤️

[@PranavKharche]

Its feels so amazing that now indian animation is also understanding and keeping the small details for emotions,basic idea of that space the light,the shadows the whole theme that gives that spaces meaning ,the overall movement of people that should feel natural and it is feeling the same way because few weeks earlier i have gone to varnasi and it feels the same way as you portrayed ,Amazing use of colours as it feels very eye catchy. Now I think that we have an good future for indian animation.Thank You for this😊♥
