Fuelled by a few sleepless nights, passionate debates
and plenty of sweet memories, Kachho Gadulo is my graduation project film created with Shivangi Ranawat and Saptesh Chaubal.
The story follows a young boy and his grandfather as they journey across a mythical land, encountering mysterious characters from Indian folklore, like the Dhokra warriors, Naga (the giant serpent) and the Mahakala (deity of time, creation and destruction).
Seen through the eyes of the protagonist, the short follows a spontaneous and playful, quest-like narrative.

From our earliest brainstorming sessions, we wanted to tell stories of characters and settings that are vividly rooted in Indian culture.
Drawing inspiration for the visuals and sound design from lore, regional motifs, locations and folk arts of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Kerala and Sikkim, helped us bring our vision to life.
