Our take
A vivid interpretation of the titular 12th century text, the experimental short film Gita Govinda doubles up as an intimate portrait of the verdant Kangra valley. Amit Dutta makes an exquisite use of sound design, natural landscapes, and Pahari paintings to create a vibrant cinematic experience.
