New Delhi (India), March 29: While the most common assessment metric for movies is their commercial success, there are some that stand out for their artistic expression and meaningful storytelling. Sushant Panda's latest movie, Maalti, is one such movie that is very different from the usual and offers a refreshing perspective on life and humanity.
Set in the interiors of Orissa, Maalti follows the story of a young girl who faces numerous challenges while trying to pursue her dreams. Shot entirely on location, the movie offers a glimpse into the lives of people who live without any modern facilities and struggle to make ends meet. For lead actress Roselyn D’souza, the experience of shooting this movie was both challenging and rewarding.
Living in the same conditions as her character, Roselyn learned to adapt and survive in a world that was vastly different from her own. With no proper washrooms or sanitation, and mosquitoes and dust all around, Roselyn had to rely on her instincts to get through each day. But she persevered and used this opportunity to become one with her character and understand the nuances of her role better.
Speaking about her experience, Roselyn says, "Shooting for Maalti was the best learning opportunity of my life. It taught me to appreciate the simple things in life and understand the struggles of people who live in such conditions. I used to watch Smita Patil's movies 3-4 times a day to prepare for this role, and I'm glad that all the hard work has paid off."
Maalti is not your typical feature film, but it is a beautiful movie that deserves to be seen by a wider audience. With its powerful message and stunning visuals, it is sure to leave a lasting impact on anyone who watches it. Maalti is bound to make waves in the world of cinema because the primary idea is to send it to prominent film festivals like Cannes.
Roselyn’s career trajectory in the world of entertainment has been impressive. She started as a model and modelled for several notable brands and went on to take up other projects. According to Roselyn, her performance in Maalti is the perfect depiction of her versatility as an actress and she changed the way she looks at life.
Maalti is all set to unlock success for its artistic merit and powerful storytelling. We have our fingers crossed to see how it performs at film festivals and look forward to more such meaningful movies. We also wish Roselyn luck.
