The main storyline of the film is the way in which Shanti solves this problem and saves the conference.įrom the storyline, it seems that more than one actor is required on the screen. Their ultimate plan is to blow up the conference hall. They kidnap her and put forth a demand that she should take them to the conference as her assistants. In order to draw inspiration, Shanti travels to a picturesque hilly area where she gets accosted by a group of terrorists. An international peace body chooses her to create the logo of a world peace conference. The only character in the film is of an illustrator and a painter called as Shanti.
The film was entirely shot in the vicinity of the Nalknad Palace in the Kodagu district of Karnataka. Baraguru who was a professor of Kannada in the Bangalore University is a well known personality in the Kannada literary field since he has held high positions like the chairman of Kannada Development Authority. Apart from direction, Baraguru has also written the screenplay for the film which he indicates was a tough task as he could not compromise on logic and reasoning while accommodating ideological issues. The other crew members include Ramesh Yadav - the producer, Hamsalekha - the music director, Suresh Urs - the editor and Nagaraja Adavani - the cameraman. In the film, Bhavana had to wear dresses to portray Mahatma Gandhi and the Buddha, the ambassadors of peace. A voice over the telephone represents a character called as Samara (a term that means war in Kannada). A dove in the film is used as a symbol for peace and guns are used to portray war and terror. The other characters in the film were only represented by symbols and voices. This is because Baraguru wanted the audience to start off a discussion to weigh the pros and cons of war against peace.īhavana is the sole actor. The film does not end with a moral, something uncommon among Indian movies.
A female character was chosen as the sole actress in the film since peace is generally considered feminine whereas war is more masculine. Rather than the concept, more focus has been given on the creative aspects of the theme. Baragur indicates that though this was sort of an experiment, experimentation was not the main motivation for producing this film. The UN was used as a vital aspect in the film since Baragur feels that it is a world body that has created two contradicting influences of war and peace. The main theme of the film is to explore the various ways to fight terrorism without any compromise with the human values promoted by the United Nations. Baraguru Ramachandrappa decided to direct this film to portray different faces of peace by juxtaposing symbolism and monologues.
