Chandigarh 30th July:- The national award
winner writer-director Sachin Gupta today holded a press conference for his
upcoming Hindi movie “Pakhi” at Chandigarh. The leads of the
movie Anamika Shukla, Sumeet Kant Kaul, Anmol Goswami and director
Sachin Gupta shared their experiences about the movie with the media.
The film Pakhi is
the story of a 10-year old girl who is about to get married and is trapped in
the world of web trafficking. While the subject of prostitution and child
trafficking stays a matter of concern, the film aims to address what goes on
behind the cruel business which sees the highest violations of agency, freedom,
and esteem. For instance, the pre-puberty treatments that the women are
subjected to for the flesh trade to flourish. Pakhi is based on true
events and is all set to rejig the cinematic perspectives with a plot which
explores the depth of societal distress and the value of human lives. Pakhi, a
social crime drama discusses the dark world of child trafficking which is
plaguing our society at large with a completely fresh perspective. Set in the
times of a natural conflict for existence, it explores and exposes the dark
realities behind the world of human trafficking. With estimated 27 million
adults and 13 million children around the world who are victims of human
trafficking, “Pakhi” becomes a subject that records the highest violations and
yet a subject, so obvious a subject talked about. With the refreshing plot of
conflict, survival, and triumph over the circumstances, “Pakhi” is set to bring
the society close to a mirror they cannot escape without introspecting.
When Sachin Gupta
is asked about his work he said that let the force be with you. We all are
Pakhi and responsible for the creation of 'her'- #IAmPakhi”. Sachin Gupta, a
National award 'Natya Bhushan' winning Indian film-maker and writer has
directed “Pakhi” with his vision of meaningful and societal retrospective
cinema. Sachin is known for his work in the field of theatre, having 14
original plays and 4 screenplays to his credit. He made his directorial
debut with the critically acclaimed Paranthe Wali Gali (2014) which he produced
under his production banner, Chilsag Pictures, a production house he
established in 2012.
Expressing his
opinion on the matter, Sachin Gupta said that when even after 73 years of
Independence we are witnessing social practices like a girl getting married off
at a tender age and pushed into the cycle of flesh trade, where is this freedom
or where is it leading us? When there is the right to life for the children of
free India, where are we standing as moral humans? It is time we talk about
what the trade encompasses when lives of women are branded. This film talks a
sincere effort towards it". At the conference, Gupta also discussed about
running a campaign #IAmPakhi on social media that will highlight the issue and
this Independence Day, it could be a step to free the Pakhi that we all are
passively responsible for.
