he film will take you to a journey of enigma and mystery in the Himalayas. It touches the lives of people living in these mountains, their stories.

Playwright Manav Kaul heads to the hills in his debut film Hansa

Playwright Manav Kaul heads to the hills in his debut film Hansa



  Theatre-writer and director Manav Kaul has been preoccupied with childhood lately. In the 2010 play Mamtaz Bhai Patang Wale, a boy idolises the neighbourhood’s kite shop owner, and in 2011’s Laal Pencil, a girl has a lifechanging experience after she finds a magical pencil. “I am excited [about projects] with either old people or children,” said Kaul, in an interview to Time Out. “Childhood is an age full of complexities and many surprises. It is something that you cannot replace.” The wee ones are again central to his first feature Hansa, which won both the audience and critics choice award at the Osian’s Cinefan Film Festival held in August in Delhi. The film will now be released by PVR Director’s Rare.
Hansa (Suraj) is the nine-yearold eponymous protagonist who sneakily tries to return a five-rupee coin he stole. In addition, there’s Chikoo (Trimala Adhikari), Hansa’s 15-year-old sister, who has to find her father before she loses the family house. The siblings’ troubled, desperate journeys unfold in Kaul’s favourite retreat: the mountains. “I was interested in [exploring] time and space in the mountains,” said Kaul. “The pace is very slow and as a child, it is very difficult to bear.”
Since 2006 Kaul has been escaping the city to recharge his creative batteries at Sheetala in Uttarakhand, where his friend owns a resort. Over the years as Kaul traversed the village; befriended its residents; premiered his play, Park, there; formed a cricket team and also conducted a workshop for the children. The latter would inspire him to make Hansa. “They have so much to offer,” said Kaul. “They can sing and act and their eyes are so pure. [As a director] you don’t have to do anything.” Shot on real locations, Kaul gave the kids complete freedom of movement. “You are an outsider and you have to respect their environment,” said Kaul. “You can’t make them uncomfortable in their own space. I was just capturing their reactions.” Hansa was shot in a record 17 days.
The film occasionally draws from Kaul’s own youth. For instance, Hansa tends to hold the coin in his mouth, an action which later has dramatic yet amusing repercussions. Kaul said his imagery draws inspiration from Hindi literature, particularly Nirmal Varma’s short story revolving around a brother-sister “Lal Tin Ki Chat” and Viren Dangwal’s poem “Schooljaatey Bachche” [Schoolgoing kids]. Audiences may draw a parallel with stark American indie Winter’s Bone (2010), which follows a teenage girl’s quest to find her drug-dealer father. But Kaul said that though Chikoo’s pursuit has similarities with that of Ree in Winter's Bone, he has used the track to show the work ethic of the women in hilly areas, as alcoholism affects most men.
Hansa is a debutants’ ball. The film’s 25-member crew comes from Kaul’s theatre troupe, Aranya. Almost no one had any experience in filmmaking. Kaul recalled that one of the members had to be told what to do with a clapboard. Even though Kaul is committed to theatre, for now the Kashmir-born writer seems to be bitten by the film bug. He is already halfway through shooting his second feature, Tathagat, also set in Uttarakhand and starring a nine-year-old boy from the state. Also in the works is an adaptation of Mamtaz Bhai Patangwale. “I love things when I don’t know anything about them,” said Kaul. “I don’t know anything about filmmaking. It is exciting not to know. The moment you know, it’s boring.”
