‘Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer’ is unfortunately the bitter truth of Indian economy. The poor farmers continually strive in the quest for a better life. The saddest part is: the one who struggle day and night to feed us with proper food is deprived of the very basic necessities of life; food, water and clothes. This deep-rooted problem across the whole Malwa region led an eminent director and producer, Mr. Sudhanshu Sharma, to portray the same in his film ‘Kalichaat’. Kalichaat is nothing but an indestructible, hard black rock that cannot be broken by hitting the mattock. The chief character of Kalichaat, Sitaram, starts digging a well hoping for large amount of water beneath, but unfortunately, Kalichaat – the hard rock comes in between and his hope turns into despair.
The director, Mr. Sudhanshu Sharma has keenly observed the severe misfortunes faced by the Indian farmers. The whole team of Kalichaat has left no stone unturned to portray each situation realistically. The poor farmers get trapped in the vicious circle of poverty. You will be mesmerized to see how a farmer strives whole day for bread and butter. It’s really ironic how an innocent farmer strives hard to feed his family but ultimately gets nothing.
‘Water crisis’ is one of the biggest concerns for the poor farmers in Malwa region. ‘Kalichaat’ is also inspired from an NGO ‘Vibhavari’ working for the water crisis and landless farmers/workers. The genuine efforts of protagonists, wonderful folk tunes and reality-intense portrait by the director led the film to win an array of accolades on national as well as international level!
