DO PAHAR Screening and Q&A
Sun Apr 28, 7:30 PM
Sharifa Roy
A short film starring veteran and BAFTA award winning actress Rohini Hattangady, Do Pahar or Afternoon is about an unlikely bond that develops between an elderly, abused woman and a hit man when, curious by nature, she invites him into her house (a perfect place to keep vigil on his target). Yet, while he is a killer, he’s also sympathetic and while she is old and abused, she’s also stubborn and fearless.
As the afternoon progresses, she kindles in him a few forgotten childhood memories while the hit man by his very nature invites her to confess her darkest desires. Just this one afternoon alludes to a lifetime for the two as they break moral stereotypes. While she discovers her ‘knight in shining armor’ in the hit man, he in turn finds in the old woman, his ‘perfect partner in crime’.
Do Pahar recently won the Best Script Award at the Jaipur International Film Festival and was nominated for Best Short, Best Screenplay and Best Actress at the Rolling Frames Short Film Festival in Bangalore and again nominated for Best Short at the New York Indian Film Festival.
