The portrayal of a desperate man struggling for hope of a reunion with his family is so heartbreaking, a wonderfully powerful and thought provoking performance that keeps you gripped and sad. The cinematography poignantly captures the desolation and isolation. Survival looks in doubt, with no food or water , he cleans and packs up his family's clothes and belongings has the storm gets ever closer. Has he finally accepted they are gone ? What does he now have to live for ?.

Based on a real disaster of a few years ago but one that is likely to be repeated due to climate change that will affect more and more lowland coastal regions in the world.

A powerful and gripping drama that captures the very real threat of climate change, "Kadvi Hawa" is based on true stories from the drought prone Bundelkhand region and the vanishing villages from coastal Odisha and Chambal region of Rajasthan. The idea of making "Kadvi Hawa" first came to Dr. Panda back in 2005 while shooting a documentary on climate change. In his own words, "In Odisha, there were seven villages on a coastal line. They were called 'seven brothers'. But when I reached there, I only saw two of them. I got a shock when I saw two hand-pumps inside water. I heard from people between the age group 60-70 that those hand-pumps were earlier located in the middle of the village."

When producer Laurie David walked into a town hall meeting about a decade and a half back she had no idea that what was about to follow would single-handedly reenergize the global environmental movement. But, as soon as the former United States Vice President Al Gore finished making his presentation, Laurie David had a clear goal ahead of her-to adapt Al Gore's presentation (a slide show on Global Warming replete with detailed graphs, flow charts and alarming visuals) into a film.

Along with producer Lawrence Bender, she met with writer-director Davis Guggenheim. And, the rest, as they say, is history. The resulting film, a documentary titled "An Inconvenient Truth," premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews. It became a critical and commercial success, grossing USD 50 million worldwide and bagging two Academy Awards, including one for Best Documentary Feature.this movie is amazing.

I don't know why people miss such movies which are wort watching and teach you life lessons.

I can see there are no viewers or reviewers.

Nila panda is the best . I watched his movie I am Kalam when I was in college and in my job interview when asked about my hobbies i replied that I like to watch movies and when asked about my favourite movie and director, without any hesitation I named this movie and director.

This movie is an eye opener and is of next level, very few people will able to relate it.

More and more such movies are needed to be made to show the world the power of Indian cinema, thoughtful makers.
