SYNOPSIS:
‘Montage’ is the story of a day in the life of two young friends, who come from broken homes.
Omkar has relocated to Mumbai.
He revisits his hometown, Aurangabad, after three years.
Omkar and his friend, Shravani, roam around Aurangabad, and also through the buried memories that haunt both of them.
Omkar, who comes with his forehead creased with thoughts, returns to Mumbai with a smile.
While Shravani has tears in her eyes as she ponders the echoes of all that was said and also left unsaid..
On the boundary between friendship and love, these two individuals, traverse the past and the present..
With screaming silences and silent words, they return to their lives as the day ends..
But they are no longer the same as they were in the morning..
DIRECTOR’S NOTE:
‘Montage’ is a very personal film. It’s largely, my personal story. The character of Omkar emerged from me and the character of Shravani is inspired by a close friend in Aurangabad. I have lived one such day with her when I roamed the whole city with her and we talked about many things.
Our vulnerable emotions flowed, the past was revisited, the present was examined and the future was ignored. Changing one’s city can really make a profound difference in one’s life. In ‘Montage’, I have tried to capture these feelings.
If people who have migrated to another city or country can relate to the film, if two young friends, who pour their heart out while conversing, can see themselves in this film, and if scarred youngsters from broken homes can find some reconciliation after watching ‘Montage’, then I would consider my film a success. – Mayuresh
