ECHOES – Synopsis
Echoes is a journey into the remote Himalayan district of Kinnaur, where society and nature are deeply intertwined, creating a unique social fabric shaped by centuries of adaptation to a harsh environment. Limited resources, extreme weather, and geographic isolation fostered traditions such as fraternal polyandry—brothers marrying a single woman—as a way to sustain families and communities.

Two decades after my maiden film Kinnara, I return to explore how winds of change—driven by the booming apple economy, education, tourism, and modern communication—are reshaping this once-isolated culture. These changes bring both progress and vulnerability, as traditional customs, crafts, music, and architecture face the risk of extinction under outside influences.

The film follows six Kinnauri families, each reflecting a different facet of this transformation

Sangrathan Negi (Kalpa) :– An apple merchant and hotelier campaigning to protect Kinnaur’s cultural and natural heritage from hydroelectric projects and mass tourism.

Chandrasukh Negi & Jagat Kumari (Sangla) :– A father-daughter weaving duo, custodians of sacred textile traditions, representing the many unmarried women of the region.

Ratan Manjari :– Chairperson of the Mahila Kalyan Parishad, fighting for women’s property rights and challenging outdated customs that marginalize widows and unwed women

.Lalita Pancharas :– Model, beauty entrepreneur, and political activist who bridges modern aspirations with respect for traditional customs, empowering local women with new livelihoods.

Bagh Negi Family :– A polyandrous household that endured economic and geographic challenges through shared marriage, offering insights into the practicality of the tradition.

Nav Negi (Reckong Peo) :– A travel entrepreneur preserving Kinnaur’s cultural heritage and advocating for awareness among youth to safeguard local art forms.

Through these intimate portraits, Echoes weaves two parallel narratives:

A personal return to the filmmaker’s earlier journey, reconnecting with past subjects.

A broader reflection on Kinnaur’s evolving identity—caught between tradition and modernity.

Ultimately, the film is a meditation on time, culture, and resilience—observing a society at a delicate crossroads, where the echoes of the past still shape the sounds of the present.

Corporate Films

Produced for major corporations including Aditya Birla Group, Tata Steel, and others.

I create CSR films that go beyond statistics to reveal the human faces behind corporate initiatives—stories of hope, resilience, and transformation. Drawing inspiration from pioneers like the Tata Group, whose legacy of community-first business has set the benchmark in India, my work captures authentic narratives that inspire trust, drive engagement, and showcase the true social impact of corporate responsibility.
