Dasama

In my view Dashama is a film that not only entertains but also educates and provokes thought about the socio-cultural dynamics of rural education in Odisha. It is a poignant reminder of the simpler times of childhood and the foundational role that school days play in shaping individuals. This movie is a treasure for those looking to revisit the nostalgia of their school days through the lens of Odia cinema. I never studied in rural school but used to hear from my father. I felt as if I was living his schooldays and felt proud of my Odiya culture . The performances by a mostly young cast are commendable, bringing out the innocence and earnestness required for such roles. They manage to evoke a sense of nostalgia for viewers who have themselves grown up in similar settings or can relate to the universal themes of childhood and schooling. It was my first meeting with my Odiya family and believe me I loved it . Thanks all for making my day .
