Review of the movie 'Parikrama'

This is a story of multiple journeys: The journey of pilgrims doing the ritual ‘parikrama’ of the banks of the holy Narmada river; the journey of an Italian filmmaker who has left his young son at home; the journey of Lala, a young boy who has lost his home and family to the dammed river. Much like the meandering Narmada, the pace of the film is leisurely, introducing the viewer to another time – before dams were constructed submerging villages, drowning archaeological treasures and displacing people who are resorting to the parikrama (and other rituals) in a desperate attempt to appease the gods and get back their homes.
Sergio Scapagnini’s “Lala” doesn’t follow a traditional narrative. It slowly unfolds through parallel stories: Of an Italian director who has left his motherless son behind at home; of a social worker battling her own demons; and of the eponymous Lala, a street-smart but endearing lad trying to build a new life after his village has been submerged by the Narmada dam, humorously blaming his naseeb [fate] rather than a state-led project for his misfortune.
For director Goutam Ghose, the film is not a political commentary on the Narmada Bachao Andolan. His approach is gentle and humane, even when introducing viewers to the movement, launched in 1985, that opposed the Indian Government’s proposal to build dams on the Narmada river. As is inevitable with many government projects, the dams have choked the Narmada with ugly, concrete constructions, and added fuel to the debate on Man versus Nature. Ghose’s gaze is empathetic, but his cinematic brushstrokes, like in much of his earlier work, are searing and incisive. The film seeks to explore the deep connection between people living in the lap of nature, and the environment. One starts to wonder if the river has suffered as much as the people living on her banks!
“Lala” is not a political film (as one might expect) but a many-layered human story, touching on the personal struggles of displaced people and their beautiful and deeply symbiotic relationship with Nature and their habitat.
