    Meenalap AKA Fish musings (2018) Director of Photography

    Meenalaap is a love story between Yusuf and Zulekha. Their lives as a lower middle class couple in India get magical when they learn of Zulekha being pregnant. The immigrant Bangla couple make their journey together through the pregnancy. Both of them work in a stitching factory in the city nearby, traveling to and fro daily through hills and tunnels. Each passing day, they weave a dream together, one cloth at a time. (Also, Yusuf and Zulaikha (Arabic: يوسف زلیخا‎) is the Quranic verse of Yusuf (Joseph) and Zulaikha (the person known in the Bible as Potiphar's wife and whose name is not given there). It has been told and retold countless times in many languages spoken by Muslims, especially Persian and Urdu and is capable for Sufi interpretations.)

    "The seed idea of this story came from a quote that I have often questioned - 'Love is like a bird, set it free.' Aakash, the protagonist believes in it but his Dad doesn't. We know how far we might go for love, but how far would our parents go for our love? We explored this idea further and it led to an incredible journey with some of the coolest and most wonderful actors, a talented and dedicated crew, my loving friends from FTII and the amazing folks from Pocket Aces and MX Player."
