No Fathers in Kashmir No Fathers in Kashmir

Director: Ashvin Kumar

Unwittingly they become involved in a 70 year old Kashmir conflict in one of the most deadliest parts of the world.

Road To Ladakh Road To Ladakh

Director: Ashvin Kumar

Year: 2004

Irrfan Khan (The Warrior) and Koel Purie (Everybody Says I'm Fine) lead this surreal rites of passage encounter between a dysfunctional, coke-snorting fashion model and an ultra-focussed, strong-silent stranger who are thrown together by chance. Set in the magnificent wilderness moon-scape of Ladakh, India, the road journey and the strange encounters that follow provide a dramatic backdrop for the relationship that develops.<br /> <br /> Both are outsiders, both are lonely, both crave the human contact that their roles in society deny them. Tentatively they search each other out in a film that is poised between elusiveness and engagement, suspicion and tenderness - at once hilarious and sinister, bizarre and moving, psychedelic and intensely real, Road to Ladakh is an original story scripted, edited and produced by director Ashvin Kumar.
