The following is a brief character analysis of the movie's two major characters:
1). Diya:
A precocious little girl of nine who epitomizes
the unbridled innocence of childhood that would tug at our heartstrings. Her
resolve and strong headedness make her an object of envy and a symbol of
courage not only for her eleven year old brother but also for those adults who fail
to muster the courage when the going gets tough. She is the proverbial pocket
size dynamite in more ways than we can possibly imagine. To watch this young
upstart experience a loss of innocence as she steps out of her cocooned
environment, accompanied by her brother, in search of her ailing, abandoned
grandmother is nothing short of a pure cinematic treat.
2). Grandmother:
The poignant sight of a septuagenarian woman incapacitated
by old age and a bout with cancer longing for a son who long abandoned her can
melt any heart. Her son’s blatant display of indifference hasn’t stopped her
from loving him or sending him letters and homemade sweets at brief intervals.
But, her love for her grandchildren is most tender and she wants to shower them
with all of it while she still can. By closely observing her, we may get
glimpses of our own elders and, perhaps, even come to terms with their growing
solitude as they get older. We may also be reminded of our urban society's
moral and cultural decadence.
About the Movie:
Barefoot to Goa is an indie film written, directed and co-produced by the Mumbai-based independent filmmaker Praveen Morchhale. On the face of it, is a tale of two siblings: an eleven year old brother and his nine year old precocious sister, who witness the loss of innocence during a life-changing road trip that they undertake in order to meet their ailing grandmother. But, in its essence, Barefoot to Goa is a social commentary on the great rural-urban divide in India. Morchhale limns a vivid canvas to depict the dichotomy between the two Indias and the manner in which their inhabitants think, behave, act, and live.
