SYNOPSIS:

Bhanumati Rao (1923-2022) in her younger days, was a dancer and a theatre actor. An elegant and witty woman, who’s hearing and memory doesn't usually stand up, has led an enigmatic, passionate, yet a simple and pragmatic life. Filming with Bhanumati from 2014 till 2019, with her daughters Maya Krishna Rao, a contemporary solo theatre practitioner in New Delhi and Tara Rao, a human rights campaigner in Bengaluru, the filmmaker goes on a journey of life and performance, through the spasms of memory, complexities of relationships, love and a reflection of what could constitute a beautiful mind.

REVIEWS:


  1. 'A stunning film. Honest and hypnotic just like Bhanu.' - Vidhya Subramanian, Bharatanatyam artist
  2. “This film has left me overwhelmed.” - Kunal Ray, Filmmaker, Film Scholar, Pune
  3. “Ramani's style of film-making is not only refreshingly honest (they are also films about film-making) but he makes films that are very moving without a hint of sentimentality. “ - Ian McDonald, Filmmaker (Algorithms), UK
  4. “Very inspiring to see 3 generations of women, what powerful women, and the way you portray just about any subject is so sensitive, humane and masterful in its simplicity.” - Thakkar Nirali, Artist, USA
  5. “Gooseflesh, ecstasy, a myriad emotion inducing images, words and sounds over and over again. Watched it last night for the first time ever, and a rewatch this morning... Ramani in this constantly corrupting world of mediocrity where the soul goes further and further away from honesty and integrity in art, your work will always keep our faith a-rolling….OH THAT's BHANU is cinematic proof.” - Roy Dipankar, Musician - Filmmaker (Extreme Nation), Chennai
