In the film Trijya, the story of Avdhut Kale, a poetic and introspective village reporter, mirrors many who struggle with their sense of identity in today’s fast-paced world. Avdhut’s journey from his rural hometown to the bustling city of Pune highlights the often painful disconnection between one’s true self and societal expectations.
Avdhut’s struggles resonate with anyone feeling lost or out of place in the modern landscape. Though seemingly mundane, his job as a horoscope writer symbolizes many’s internal dialogue with themselves, questioning their existence and purpose. The pressures of an arranged marriage and the demands of his job further alienate him from his true desires and dreams.
The film’s five chapters depict Avdhut’s gradual return to his roots, both physically and spiritually. This journey is marked by stillness and introspection, punctuated by the natural sounds and landscapes that ground him. It’s a reminder that we must sometimes step away from the chaos and return to our core in seeking our identity.
Director Akshay Indikar beautifully captures this internal struggle, using the simplicity of rural life and the complexity of city existence to show the duality many face. His background as a self-taught filmmaker and member of a nomadic tribe lends authenticity to the narrative.
Trijya ultimately suggests that finding our place in the world requires reconnecting with our inner selves and the natural rhythms of life. This journey demands patience, reflection, and a willingness to embrace our strengths and vulnerabilities.
In a world where others and ourselves often question identity, Trijya offers a poignant reminder: to know who we are truly, we must be willing to pause, listen, and see ourselves through the lens of our own experiences and truths.
Trijya, to me, is a break from walking a long mile carrying heavy baggage with some shadow under the tree on a very hot day. More power to such stories!
