Chandra

About This Movie

Chandra is an evocative piece that captures the essence of innocence amidst chaos. Set against the backdrop of a ravaged Kathmandu post-earthquake, the film dives deep into the bond between a young boy and his elderly grandfather. The pacing is deliberate, letting moments breathe, allowing us to absorb the weight of their journey. The tension of the crumbled city juxtaposes with the tender, almost naive hope in Chandra's eyes as he ventures to see his mother and new sibling. The performances are understated but moving, with a realness that pulls you in. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the film's authentic feel. It’s a quiet exploration of family and resilience in the face of disaster.
