Twelve Months

About This Movie

Twelve Months is a poignant exploration of rural life's harsh realities in India, based on the acclaimed Marathi novel. The film, helmed by Dheeraj Meshram, captures the struggles of dry land farmers and the educated but jobless youth. You really get a sense of the atmosphere—dirt roads, the vast emptiness of parched fields, and the weight of unfulfilled aspirations. The performances feel raw and grounded, adding to this heavy yet necessary narrative. It’s not fast-paced; it drifts like the slow-moving lives of its characters, making you reflect on their plight. The cinematography feels intimate, almost like you're part of their world, which is what makes it distinctive in its own quiet way.
