Gaurav Madan’s critically acclaimed Barah by Barah (2024) has been released in theatres after making its rounds at various film festivals. It is set in the holy city of Benares, considered the focal point of the Hindu faith. People usually visit the ghats to undergo ceremonial tonsuring, seek absolution from sins, or culminate their cycle of birth, among other reasons. It is a place that displays the universal spectacle of life’s journey. Though such interplay between life and revelation remains at the narrative’s core, Barah by Barah is more about our collective inability to be with the moment and the world as it is. As a tale of a family caught between the crux and tradition, the film gives us a deeper understanding of the world. It is also about the fluctuating bonds and distances among family members. The film’s pace remains languid throughout its around two-hour run-time.
