Once in a while comes a man who does not even try to be part of the crowd? There are many who believe they possess certain inherent qualities that will help them be part of the masses easily.
But individuals like Anand Gandhi choose to wait relentlessly for their time to come, and today it’s his day. The day ‘Ship of Theseus’ sails into the hearts of many film lovers. This movie instills pride in you for being part of a humble but subtle audience that craves for true cinema. It shakes up the inner core of your emotions and guides you into a spiritual journey.
The story is set in Mumbai about three individuals and the impact on their lives after certain circumstances. The name of the movie comes from a Greek philosopher’s musing ‘ if a ship is changed plank by plank, log by log, will it be the same as it started out to be’? Anand Gandhi’s film goes through a similar pattern of fate.
The first story is of a photographer whose life changes after a cornea transplant,
the other one of a man who is against animal testing in India and third of a man who has just been donated a kidney. It’s a movie where the actors have put in their hearts and soul in bringing forth the dilemmas of their journey.
The cinematography by Pankaj Kumar is outstanding keeping in mind that most of it is done hand held. A special mention has to be of actor Neeraj Kabi who stands out amongst others. His performance will draw comparisons with Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.
Lets celebrate the courage of Anand Gandhi and his cinema.
