Barefoot to Goa
"Barefoot to Goa" is an indie film that beautifully explores the three stages of life. It shows an old mother who lives alone in Goa and yearns for his son (who leads a busy life in Mumbai). The daughter-in-law tries to cut off the relations between the mother and the son, as she fears that is the mother stay with them in Mumbai, it will inhibit her independence. Then, there are the children, who are concerned about their grandmother and want to bring her to Mumbai. Through a set of events, the children realize that their parents are not going to make any effort to bring their grandmother home, they decide to take the journey to their grandmothers home themselves. What happens in the journey? Do they reach their grandmother and bring her back with them? That is what the film is all about.

Since it is crowd sourced and made on a shoe-string budget, the production value is not very high. Also, since the director wanted to capture the experience of the trip and editing is not very crisp either. Also, the story is very linear and predictable to some extent. The acting looks passable, but given the fact that non-actors were cast-ed it is still very impactful.,
