Aamhi Doghi (We Two)
When motherless Savi, at the age of 16, is introduced by her father, Appa, to his new 25 year old wife, she doesn’t display any emotion except curiosity as to how to address her. Her father’s wife is called Ammi.
Having been trained to be unemotional and practical since early childhood, Savi , like Appa, is dismissive of ‘emotional fools’.
This learning leads her to live a life of independence and also results in the loss of her love, because she doesn’t want to bow to the rules of society.
It is her illiterate step-mother, who has been dependant on others for all the major decisions of her life, who makes her, realize that being emotional is not foolish, that if she is independent, so should her emotions be.
When a dry, practical Savi, suddenly finds this different point of view of Life and the World, she is suddenly every one of us, at some time in our lives.
And, that connect with each member in the audience is what makes Aamhi Doghi a sensitive, engaging Film.

Aamhi Doghi
Directors Note:
Aamhi Doghi is a film about two women with radically different personalities, told with a narrative simplicity that’s appealing to everyone. The film gracefully balances rationalism with emotional sensitivity.
