Agam

Directed by Sumit Mishra

AGAM is a film based on three stories set in the backdrop of Varanasi, the city of Shiv (Religion), Shav (Corpse) and Tantra (Occult). "Yatra" is the story of the beginning of a journey of a traveler who has freed himself and moves ahead in his quest of knowledge and truth having broken the shackles and the impenetrable fort of the so called "God head and the Matha (Hindu Monastery)". "Manikarnika" is the story of a newlywed bride who tries to mould herself and conquer the ways of Manikarnika Ghat, smell and surrounding of burning corpses and rhythmic chanting of Ram Naam Satya Hai. "Deh-Tantra" is the story of uncontrived love, an attraction between a man and woman and the psychology of the masculine and feminine woven under the dark blanket of the so called and age-old established occult and ultimately overruling all the occult disciplinary and surrendering themselves to the love and physical attraction.
