RI (2013)

Sensitive, socially relevant and multi-layered, this is a complex tale of insurgency and reconciliation in the turbulent North Eastern state of Meghalaya. With exquisite attention to detail and intuitiveness, this contemporary drama portrays how youths get lured into militancy and diverse ideologies without being able to reason out how the gun can actually resolve their angst against corruption and unemployment. Many rarely exposed social issues and political problems have been brought to life through the evolutionary journey of a misguided youth, who is driven by circumstance to join a militant outfit only to return to the straight but narrow path.
