What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside. Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire. The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?

Traditional Indian dance ebbs and flows deeply, energetically, joyfully, and intentionally within a young woman named Pavani (Indrani Davaluri), fostered by her unyielding zeal to learn and master all 5 Classical forms to share with the world and bring better acceptance and recognition of it. Even with the support of her mother Jayamma (Jayalalita), father Vishwanadham (Tanikella Bharani) and new husband Ramesh (Vikram Kolluru), Pavani quickly learns just how harsh reality can be. Can she find the strength to accomplish her goals?

I find myself running out of ways to definitively do true justice in describing the utter uniqueness and affectingly potent cinematic wonder that is South Asian cinema and, what I likewise feel, is its constant ability to put forth cultural and societal perspectives that are not only apropos to that community directly, but universally applicable to ALL of us. The means to express life’s challenges and triumphs in a manner that so deftly immerses us into all we should be willing to address about ourselves and the things that we chase, the difficulties that we face, and the subsequent victory over them is always pertinent and necessary to me. With this new 92-minute independent feature film from director/producer Indrani Davaluri (in her directorial debut!), co-director Sai Ram Palley, writer Ram Mohan Ganta and story/writer Venu Nakshathram, producer Siva Bhattiprolu, executive producer Suresh Utharadi, consulting producer Vijaykumar Mirchandani (who has such a devoted eye and zeal for presenting stories that MATTER and have deeply captivating punch), plus lyricist Raghukul Tilak, all mentioned above is conspicuously present and accounted for with beautifully engaging style.
