‘Amrita aur Main’ is about Pure, Divine Love

Director of the film ‘Amrita aur Main’ Sumit Mishra had a tough time convincing his family to make a career in Bollywood. His father’s desire was to see his son settle down with a Bank job, or as a government servant;.

Sumit is upbeat about the present generation of creative artists where parents today encourage their kids for selecting fine arts and other streams.

When asked if the present generation would identify, understand and approve of Amrita’s love story Sumit took a pause and sermonized philosophically, ‘The subject remains the same, it is the medium which has changed”.

Yes, he is right, because in the last century, we had the concept of Penfriends and exchange of love through letters, now the medium of exchange of love is electronic like the email, text message, etc.

Thus the medium has changed but the purity of true love shall remain for ever.

Sumit Mishra has announced his next venture – a feature film based in Benaras which shall depict the three forms of the city of Temples – Shiv, Shav and Shakti. As Sumit says, “Shiva is incomplete without Shakti, so is Shakti incomplete without Shiva.
Sumit will be missing the advantages of making Short Films which he points out, “No Tension of Funding, Creative freedom, Happiness, Creative Satisfaction and Releasing the short thru the digital medium”.

Since Amrita aur Main, the short film is about pure, intellectual love, what was the difficult scene to handle while shooting? “Filming the final scene when Amrita dies was the most difficult moment for me personally. I felt so disturbed after this take, then throughout the night too as I could not sleep well,” ended the moist eyed Sumit.

This sums up the passion and sensitivity of this Debutante Director.
