Skit Sum Sduk Sum
Rating 3/5
This is another movie from Ladakh Vision Group.
The movie is yet another Ladakhi melodrama highly influenced by bollywood. The story doesn’t offer anything new. It is yet another love story gone sour due to confusion. The great cinematography of breathtaking highland mustard fields deserves a praise. The costumes are amazing , the great selection of gonchas, sulmas, phoomet & stotung
Its a story of Otsal and Nilza . Otsal is son of a doll maker , carries his father ‘s (potrayed by morup namgyal ) profession after his death. Otsal goes to sell his dolls to gyalsa (capital). There he meets Nilza after saving her from a Dzo chase. There love grooms among the great landscape and till interval everything is picture perfect.
After interval , there is marriage. Otsal comes as magpa to Nilza’s family. Since Otsal is not interested in Nilza’s family business , he continues his work for doll making. This doesn’t go well Nilza’s father since he want Otsal to manage his business. He then hatches a plan to create confusion between Nilza and Otsal . This results in divorce and Nilza goes to himachel Pradesh to deliver their baby.
After seven years Otsal visits himachel Pradesh and meets his daughter. Parents reunite and they live happly after.

Its high time now Mr Wangchuk Mogol , put some subtitles in the movie and submit the movie to international community , like OSEAN CINE film festival .The movie will definitely showcase Ladakhi art and culture to the international community and might win some accolades.

One thing i need to mention that the background score definitely needs some improvement.
Also Ladakhi movie making has now graduated and produces fine cinema.

Fangs of Fantasy

Fantasy

This word has a great meaning for patrick . He understood the meaning of this word recently. Patrick had a huge crush on alexandra . Patrick and alexandra both in teens were together in junior high school.
For patrick school only meant quadratic equations , laws of motion , atomic weights ,etc . He never had a problem why accelaration is directly propotional to force applied. He could solve a linear equation with ease. Alexandra on the other hand like to argue in school debates and was favorites among peers.
Patrick never knew when he started liking alexandra. It was perinnial attraction. He was always eager to have a glimpse of her, be it in school lobby or in the staff room. Be it along the hand ball court or inside her classroom. He was always in a quest to quench his thirst. Sometimes there would be a heavy rain , but sometimes it would be draught.
This was the first step into his world of fantasy.Patrick never had any plans for her, for he assumed it is his destiny to be finally be with her at later point in his life. He was so optimistic .

Move on with Life

It said that we fall in love, patrick also fell in love, the only difference is that there was no one to catch him at the bottom & he fell hard and yes it was fatal.
Alexendra's words echoed in his ears "Move on with life". Patrick didnt moved a inch, finally it was life who decided it was time to move on.The date with life came to an deadend.

The Fable of a loner

I just sat to write down some of my thoughts . It had been a terrible week for me. I came to know some of my traits as a human. I can now rightly classify myself as a loner. Frankly speaking I was a loner all the time. Confining myself to the world of a single soul . Having innumerable conversation with Almighty God. Well it was always a monologue between us . He is a patient listener . Available all the time .Listened to all my thoughts, queries, anxiety & frustration. But He nevered offered any explanation nor he commented on my thoughs. It really helped to me recover from a situation wherein I was like a ship caught in a middle of storm , a ship which had already accepted its fate , the fate that it has been doomed , destined to touch the bottom the ocean. As it said that when to listen to somebody’s pangs, it helps him to recover from his grief. Similar things happen to me when I have a monologue with God. I just have Him in my moments of grief which I cant share with the outer world. Hadnt he bestowed those invisible healing charms , I would have been in terrible shape
