Raghu Rai: An Unframed Portrait

About This Movie

Raghu Rai: An Unframed Portrait is a fascinating dive into the life and work of Raghu Rai, one of India's prominent photographers. The film is more than just a showcase of his stunning images; it explores this intimate father-daughter dynamic, subtly layered with a generational gap. The pacing flows smoothly, allowing viewers to absorb both his artistic journey and personal struggles. Avani Rai, the director, captures moments where the camera acts as a bridge and a barrier between them, which I found particularly poignant. It’s a reflective piece, steeped in nostalgia, and the emotional resonance comes through not just in the visuals but in how they interact and relive memories. There's a rawness to it that feels genuine, resonating long after viewing.
