Dekha

About This Movie

Dekha is a poignant exploration of memory and loss, anchored by an aging Bengali poet, Shashibhushan. As a blind man, his world is tethered not to sight but to sounds—every note, every rustle evokes a rich tapestry of his past. The film captures the essence of post-independence Calcutta, where the arts flourished but have since faded. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the audience to linger in Shashibhushan's reflections, rich with nostalgia. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of history, explored through simple yet effective practical effects. The performances, especially of the lead, are raw and intimate, pulling you into his world. It's distinct in its focus on auditory experiences, making the internal landscape as vivid as any visual.
