Hemanter Aparanha, a new film by award-winning director Ashoke Viswanathan, takes audiences on a poignant journey through love, loss, and the transformative power of art.

The film is a dynamic and dramatic visual exploration of the tensions of life during the Pandemic and also of the atmosphere in a world stirred and shaken by the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.
On this occasion, Sri. Ashok Vishwanathan, Director & Producer of Hemanter Aparanha said, “This film has a narrative that constantly keeps you engaged with questions relating to life after retirement and life after death, desire and despair and how the young people of today are so alive to a changing world replete with virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. In the background are the menacing resultants of the lockdown and war in the Ukraine and Gaza. This presentation has been orchestrated by Amit Agarwal, a filmmaker in his own right and me. I am also happy that Amit has worked as a Trailer Editor for me after a long time. He has earlier worked with me as an editor for my award winning documentaries and film trailers. The trailer of Hemanter Aparanha has come up very well and he has done a great job this time too.”
Speaking to the media, Sri. Amit Agarwal, Producer of Hemanter Aparanha said, “As a producer of the film I am feeling very content. I loved the story, its message and the manner in which Ashoke Da has executed the film. Like his earlier intellectual works this film too has a similar flavour but with an amazing narrative. This film is going to cater to a mass audience which includes the youth and the elderly both especially the theatre and film buffs. It is a family film as it has many elements and messages to inspire and influence everyone. It was also an amazing experience to work as a trailer editor for the film after a long time. I hope the audience will like the trailer and will get interested to watch the film in theatres thereon.”
