Satish Menon's "Bhavum" captures
the struggle of consciousness of a young urban couple upon the
arrival of the wife’s mysterious sister.
Their struggle, seeking to reconcile their desires with various
realities and truths, results in the gradual deterioration of
their relationship.
Their evolving relationship plays out as a metaphor for a society
that is growing apart intellectually and emotionally in an environment
where the effects of globalization – mainly manifesting in avid
consumerism - and the influence of media as a tool for proliferating
propaganda have taken root.
This irreconcilable wedge precipitates in the gradual disintegration
of relationships inevitably resulting in degradation and chaos.
