The Fable

I watched this film at the MAMI FILM FESTIVAL truly magnificent the visuals the pacing and they way a simple story of a family was so well portrayed by the director and the actors doing a phenomenal job especially debutant Actress Hiral Sidhu had a fabulous performance in it as I truly felt connected to her character And the fact it was shot on 16x16 was beautiful and the narrative was perfect and everything about it was so well portrayed, wonderful job by the whole team of Fable Can't wait to see this Movie going at a higher level definitely will it's truly wonderful ✨ Ps I loved the Horseriding scene Hiral Sidhu.

The Fable captivates from start to finish with its exquisite cinematography and immersive sound design, drawing viewers into the lush Himalayan landscape of a 1989 orchard. The film transforms this serene setting into a rich tapestry of visuals, where each frame feels meticulously crafted, showcasing both the natural beauty of the Indian Himalayas and the intimate life of a Dev's (Manoj Bajpayee) family. The two minute long unbroken opening shot follows Dev on a quiet morning routine, revealing the warmth and harmony of his world, enhanced by the gentle hum of ambient sounds-from the rustle of orchard trees to the soft, understated score. When Dev straps on a pair of handmade wings and leaps off a cliff, gliding over the orchard, the camera glides with him, bringing an ethereal quality to the moment. The Fable resonates through its artistry, combining stunning visuals with soundscapes that pull audiences into a sensory experience that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Must watch.

Brilliantly crafted and refreshingly authentic film that dives deep into the quirks of rural Himalayan life. With non-professional actors, The Fable, like Thithi captures a genuine, unfiltered charm that's rare in cinema. Reddy's storytelling is masterful, blending humor, warmth, Indian spirituality, and social insight effortlessly. This movie is a standout experience-rich, funny, and deeply resonant.

The Himalayas and the orchards were shown beautifully in the film. Cinematography is just brilliant. The long opening shot is breathtaking.

Watched it at the Berlin Film Festival. A must watch.

How do you assemble such a talented cast of seasoned actors and newcomers to create magic on the screen?

Well, Raam Reddy has done exactly that in this magical story that leaves the audiences spellbound. This movie truly deserves to go beyond the Film Festival circle and find broader theatrical release.

The cast led by Manoj Bajpayee, Deepak Dobriyal, Priyanka Bose and the new comer Hiral Sidhu have created a magical world which you would want to experience for yourself. Special shoutout to Hiral, who has a special onscreen quality that I hope will be seen more and more in the coming years.

AND THE MOUNTAINS - They are a special character in the movie. A visual treat not to be missed by all cinema lovers all over the world.
