It's so unfortunate that this film is much more relatable now than it was in 2016. The reality hits so hard at times that this doesn't appear to be a film anymore. It's what this country has sadly become. Very strong and important film, everyone must see and reflect on it, as said in this film India's poetry is still alive! I consider it is our responsibility to keep it alive because at the end this is still the country which we once loved.

Love has always been Red. But then, so is violence and hatred.

"Nobody knows whether my death was communal because they can't decide which religion I belong to. But India's Poetry... Its poetry is still alive. A billion people can't be wrong."

It would be hard for me not to think about this movie for a long time; the way it has me relate to the whole concept, the whole concept of being agnostic or questioning everything and also being very optimistic and hopeful about everything, hit me so hard, I can't even express my feeling at this point.

The acting and some scenes felt very unreal or felt disconnected because of their repetitiveness, but again it totally varies from one person to another. Besides this, I would strongly, very, very, very, very strongly urge everyone to watch this movie. I really want to talk about so many things in this movie and how thoughtful the change in color was.

I caught a screening of this emotional film at the South Asian Film Festival in Dallas. In short, this independent film chronicles the life of a set of filmmaker parents and their precocious young son, having moved to India after living in Australia. The father is Muslim, and the mother is Hindu. As they seek finance for their personal film project, they become more and more unsettled by the state of Bombay and India in general, as it relates to religious intolerance and prejudice. As a microcosm to the world at large, the movie is effective at portraying the social tension through the eyes of the innocent. This is the first feature from Padmakumar Narasimhamurthy, who interestingly worked in advertisement for the majority of his life. Although the pacing felt a bit uneven, Billion Colour Story has a personal and timely message to share in current times.

Loved this film. It tells a lot about the current situation of our country and also gives a ray of hope in the end for the country to come out of the current turmoil.

My man Hari got some serious game

Sensitive subject handled brilliantly.the way story is narrated with colours is just so beautiful.A tiny ray of hope when it’s colourless along with grief,despair when it’s colour with memories of their son appearing in pink filter.Loved how well the relationship between parent and children is established.The main part of any parent to to create awareness in their children on how to behave,how to underage their surroundings,what does the country in which they are living in stands for.And climax is so so heart breaking 😭😭❤️

Indophiles

You know those Facebook posts that would spread like wildfire when you were younger that were along the lines of “if you don’t share this image _____ will happen?” Welp!

Never would've watched it had it not been for school, but holy shit what a film. 

There was absolutely no sugar coating in this. Zero shying away from what reality in India is really like. Complete transparency when talking about domestic violence, misogyny, religious conflicts or how present corruption is. 

There were a couple of things I had issues with, that said it was still a really beautiful, yet completely devastating film. And considering that India heavily censors the entertainment people have access to, this is much needed.
