Indie and offbeat art movies are not everyone's cup of tea. Village Rockstar doesn't fall under the art film category but as Utpal Borpujari said "You can't go more Indie than Village Rockstar". A movie made by one woman crew, investing her own money, working with untrained actors, and dedicating 5 years of her life harvesting in a film is a feat people should respect if not laud.
To understand VR one needs to understand the geography where its filmed. An amateur review posted in the platform writes that despite all the hindrance the film sorts out everything just like magic. The hindrance mentioned were: flood, and puberty (which was mysterious)... Now, lets get the facts right: 1) When puberty hits a female its always sudden, there's no warning sign 'I'm coming..." and puberty is not a hindrance at all, so I guess that's the reason we see the lead , Dhunu being normal after the ceremony. 2) Flood after it subsides thing gets back to normal. Since, its a feature length film the maker didn't really have time to show how the lead overcame each and every hindrance... May be if it was a TV series like say "OFFICE" then the maker could have focused on each and every details liked 'flood & puberty' which were just subplots of the movie.
All in all the movie is a great lesson for aspiring filmmakers. It dragged a bit,a nd the end was a little abrupt, but kudos to the makers for the effort and the heart to bring out this gem out of nowhere.

Great movie, awesome camera work and beautiful sound work :)
its feel like watched new generation Satyajit Roy's movie
Village Rockstars really rocks! I love the way of the presentation of the film. Rima Das shows the strength of the will power... Not emotionally but logically I'm saying that Village Rockstars must be nominated for Oscar. That's what it deserves. Oscar award is dependent completely upon the Oscar's Jury members... I immensely hope so.
A masterwork is usually the result of strict adherence to artistic and functional rules. Village Rockstars respects none: it dons a raw, innocent cloak and exudes a degree of purity that deliberate craft can never bestow on a film... The film stands for something that is always under threat: the courage to ignore the reality that life is exceedingly difficult for cinema that is made on the margins of a giant production machinery and recognise that there always are ways out for those who revel in battling the odds, no matter how daunting, and overcoming them.
Absolutely natural. The VILLAGE ROCKSTARS is a miracle.
Too hard to believe it's done by a fresh Director . The editing work she has done is pure magic. Her camera (CANON 5D) speaks more than the dialogues.
Awesome work by RIMA DAS. Her four years of work for the movie shows well on the screen .. covering almost all seasons.THIS MOVIE WOULD SURE ROCK AT THE OSCARS ..!!!
