RIDING ON A SUNBEAM – A film by Brahmanand S Siingh
A special and exciting travel film that follows Mauktik Kulkarni (an Engineer turned Neuroscience student turned Zen traveller) and Sammy Jo (a Berkeley undergrad taking a gap semester) … in an unconventional touristy way. Playfully, abundantly and on occasions, acutely, they explore the contradictions of our Indian society with interesting perspectives.
Through smaller stories experienced throughout with the eyes of the two protagonists … Mauktik, who now turns to his own country and Sammy, who has never seen India before. The film creates a mosaic of India that is at once exhilarating, reflective, enchanting and laughable … in a way that has rarely been seen before.

What They Say
‘Riding on a sunbeam’ tries to capture the contradictions, brutality, the spirit and strength of the most ordinary people of India. The film is wonderfully edited, imparting a lot of ease and fluidity to the narrative. It’s a highly recommended film, especially for those who haven’t travelled much in life or have travelled in a conventional manner. Watch it for some inspiration. – Tushar Paranjape
It was an exhilarating and break-neck ride, one that I’d like to take again and again, for it’s impossible to grab and gulp and digest every incident and conversation in this film in one trip… Interesting faces, wacky cultural anomalies, aboriginal dialects, boiling conversations over whistling kettles, and heaps and heaps of learning. – Protiqe Majoomdar

THROUGH OUR EYES – A film by Brahmanand S Siingh
Through Our Eyes is the story of a group of IIT Kanpur 1990 batch mates looking back at their journey of 25 years after their graduation. The choices they made over their life’s direction, trajectory and velocity… Taking up individual stories and tapping into universal themes — at once light and reflective, irreverent and profound. The film becomes a fun-filled, thoughtful and inspirational kaleidoscope of triumphs, trials, achievements, regrets, longings and hope.
We also follow through some life stories, who have pursued their passion and gained success. Some others look inwards and ask themselves what would have happened, had they chosen a career of their interest. If given a second chance at life, would they lead their life as before or would they make changes in it.

What They Say
I think it would be VERY VERY useful for many to see. The variety of the lives that have emerged need to be brought out in this manner for us to improve our programs. The story of the “repeat offender” from Jaipur and the one who ran away from home to study was just too moving and is a must see for many of us. – Prof. Manjunath, IIT Bombay
Fantastic! Touching! Soulful! These are the initial emotions that pour through my mind as I finish watching the 10-minute trailer. This documentary gives a glimpse of alternate lives that our college mates and friends led – an insight into the triumph, challenges, emotions, pains, joys, and experiences of our college mates and in a way allows us to live their experiences vicariously. Life unfolds in front of our eyes in all its colour and hues. A must watch.– Naresh Gupta (Sr. Vice President, Adobe)

ASHGARI BAI – A film by Priti Chandriani and Brahmanand S Siingh
Ashgari Bai is one of the oldest exponents, of the dying art of Dhrupad, the most orthodox form of Hindustani Classical music. She is also probably the only woman to have espoused this austere and invocative form of music. She has been conferred few national awards, including the Padmashree. Ironically, however, she remains a curiously anonymous and lonely figure today, battling against insurmountable odds in a small town of Madhya Pradesh in India.
