Super Girl
BACKGROUND:
Many examples set by people who had excelled in various works of life despite of being challenged physically, deprived of few sense organs and not easily accepted by our ruthless society. Though our blind poet Bhima Bhoi whose portrait is erected at UN house and only such person from the nation to get such an honor. This is compelling enough to give a deep insight into our society to be positively sensible and regard such challenged
people among us. They are just not challenged with their organs but in a way to say “SUPER SENSED”... Some even are great artists of many forms.
Few of such even had achieved landmarks in Odishi dance forms.
Inspired from their lives, “SUPER GIRL” is a sincere effort in form of a short film to aware and sensitize our society at large and wake them up to act positively to open up avenues for such super sensed ones.
SYNOPSIS:
Urvashi, a teenager girl comes to a park regularly to jog. She notices a gardener guy everyday early in the morning doing perfect Odishi.
She is quite attracted towards his performance Harish on the other is a gardener by compulsion was a professional Odishi dancer in his past.
Noticing Urvashi’s likeness for his art, Harish one day realizes that Urvashi is a dumb and deaf girl. But her likeness towards Odishi makes Harish to teach her the form even without music. Harish intelligently uses rhythmic gestures with expressions and nature’s many forms to make her a perfect Odishi dancer. Urvashi is not a sense-deprived girl anymore. She is rather
super sensed and we try here to make the society feel she is a SUPER GIRL.
