DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“GOOLAR KE PHOOL”: THE CLUSTER FIG FLOWERS resonates deeply with me due to its profound exploration of rural India’s soul. This film is not merely about depicting the struggles of Murari, an experienced farmer, and his spirited nephew Puttu. It is an ode to resilience, humor, and the enduring spirit of our farmers. Through cinematic storytelling, I aim to bring to life the untold stories of agricultural communities grappling with the harsh realities of climate change, bureaucratic hurdles in government schemes, and the everyday challenges that often go unnoticed. The narrative unfolds with a blend of laughter and introspection, shedding light on how global issues like pollution and climate change impact our farmers’ lives and livelihoods. My vision for this film is to immerse the audience in the poignant yet humorous world of Murari and Puttu, inviting them to reflect on the stark disparity between policy intentions and ground realities. Through compelling visuals and authentic performances, I strive to create an experience that not only entertains but also prompts contemplation on the state of our agricultural sector and the urgent need for reform. THE CLUSTER FIG FLOWERS is more than a film; it’s a cinematic journey that celebrates the indomitable human spirit and calls for a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our farmers today. I hope viewers will find resonance in its narrative and leave the theater with a renewed appreciation for the resilience and humor that define rural life in India.
