Jhumura

About This Movie

‘Jhumura’ transports you to a quaint, fictitious village in Purulia, where the essence of folk art is almost tangibly alive yet fading. The film captures the intimate conversations between Rwik and Sahana, two journalists, and an elderly couple steeped in the traditions of Jhumur. It’s more than just a story about art; it’s about preservation, memory, and the stories we all carry. The pacing allows for reflective moments that enhance the emotional weight, and while the performances are understated, they resonate with authenticity. You can almost feel the dust of the village roads, the warmth of shared histories, and the bittersweet nature of art that clings to life in the face of modern indifference.

‘Jhumura’ remains somewhat elusive in the collector's circuit, reflecting its niche appeal. There aren’t many editions available, which adds to its scarcity. The film's exploration of a fading art form resonates with collectors who appreciate works that delve into cultural preservation. The unique narrative and the way it portrays the artistic process can attract those who are interested in films that serve as a document of our shared heritage.
