Ever wondered about the eagerness of a farmer just before the monsoons, after softening the land (plowing), he only desires for rain. That desire and longing are beyond everything. The time between the arrival of the Monsoon has the true essence of a need. But as it arrives and progresses further, that desire tends to become weaker. The desire of having someone like a loved one is similar to that.
The gap between the first talk and then conveying your love to someone is nothing but a scent of pure love. And as time passes, it becomes weak but it depends on the way we perceive it, if you are the one for whom every day is a new one, then it is easy for you to get away from bad aspects and focus on the good.
Ritesh Batra’s Photograph is a simple portrayal of our lives in metro cities. Story of the parallels Miloni (Sanya Malhotra) and Rafi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), showing each of these two character’s deep life story and true portrayal of their unnamed bond. Director Batra paints it like a canvas that shows the true essence of love and longing for someone. Miloni, here is a beautiful character I loved, she is a person of few words. There’s a lot of things she wants to say but everything is stored within her thoughts.
When I was watching the film in theatres, at first I felt it was slow but as it paces further the beauty of this story comes out. The one thing I love about Ritesh Batra is the way he creates the chemistry between his characters is it in Lunchbox or in Photograph.
