The Happiness Behind His Smile

Main Still – Naguvina Hinde

‘Naguvina Hinde’, meaning “Behind a Smile” in Kannada, is a short-film directed by Ajay Yogi. The film portrays a life of the poor kid who lives in an urban society and aspires to learn. But his dreams remain a dream due to his unfortunate lively hood. His everyday life begins by taking care of his mother who is paralyzed and bed ridden, he then starts his way to his work place where he is designated to be a cobbler. He works hard trying to earn every single rupee which he would need for his livelihood. The kid’s only play time is when he walks the way between his home and work, where he sees young people who are about his age living a healthy normal life with no financial struggles to worry about. Such a situation in a child’s life is the key factor of the film. The film diplomatically shows the maturity and the responsibility that the kid deals with at a very tender age and also shows the desires of a knowledge seeking young soul which deserves to live a normal life.

This film is Directed by a theater artist named Ajay Yogi; Produced by Kala Ganesh who gave absolute support in completion of the film; Pridhvi Sunain Zorro, the Editor, gave the film it’s classy desaturated tone to fit the theme; the Camera was handled by Girish & Mahesh; Raghavendra played the kid’s role and Manjula offered to play the versatile act of the kid’s ill mother. And I contributed a little by helping Ajay on the pre-production phase of the film and gave a finishing touch by designing the Poster & the DVD Cover.
