HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FILM

The film is going to be dubbed in all principal languages of the world as it transcends all barriers of regions, dialects and cultures while addressing the most basic requirement of our human race’s survival, a green earth, in the most magical, captivating and entertaining manner whereby children, the real custodians of our planet, the earth, would be naturally drawn to fall in love with trees and mother earth and nature.

Choreographed by Ashley Lobo, the songs of KALPVRIKSH are treated as those in a musical. They not only take the story forward but are integral to the narrative.

The Earth song is a colorful collage of images to tell the story of the Earth’s evolution. As we travel over snow capped mountain peaks to gushing waterfalls and rivers, pupae turn into butterfly and a giant dragonfly flaps its wings across the sky over a dense tropical forest.

Dhanua’s dhaba song is his fantasy on the other side of life, where his abusive and exploitative owner, Shankar dada transforms into a sorrier version of Dhanua in rags and Dhanua becomes the Don (the underworld King) of the dhaba, flashing a white three piece suit and a red shining car. This song is in theatrical genre.

Nikita’s concert song on stage as a rock-star is complete showbiz. It’s the opening song of the film and resembles a Michael Jackson concert in which the fans are fainting with awe and adrenalin is running high.

The celebration of the tree song is vibrant and has the raw energy of nature. It throbs with life. The tree sways from side to side and dances, shivers and gurgles like a baby with the children. The Wishing tree is happy to come back to life after thousands of years with the love and faith of the children.

KALPVRIKSH is a very visual film. All the scenes in the film are color-coded, they fall within a certain scheme of colors according to the mood and inner journey of the characters. For instance Sean’s room is blue, reflecting his state of mind. He misses his father constantly.

The fantasies (the songs) of the children are shot glamorously and are visually starkly different from their reality within the film. For instance Nikita’s concert song is to be shot in an indoor auditorium like space, with the stage decorated with yellow lights (‘Chicago’ feel) and neon sticks, which the children across the stage (the fans) will hold up as the rock-star's performance progresses with great gusto.  

KALPVRIKSH or the Wishing Tree is a specially designed 25-foot tree created in fiberglass and rubber, for this film. It is being created in real as well as on computer graphics to render a fantasy feel for children. It will also be very real. The whole concept of an old man like tree, twisted, which can hug and dance almost like a person is endearing & exciting.
