MAHAANTAM

Directed by Shridhar Sudhir

The film follows the life of Gauri, a seven year old girl, over four days, where a small, insignificant incident at her school gives rise to a series of events which lead to a grave end. It is her first glimpse into the ugly side of nationalism, a concept she is not able to comprehend in its entirety, but which makes a lasting impression on her young mind.
