In black-and-white and on 35mm, we follow an old woman who digs for water in a dry and barren region. She digs and digs, and the furrows in the dry soil are mirrored in the wrinkles of her spirited face. Almost disappearing in the ditch, a girl suddenly appears at its edge. They exchange looks. The old woman distributes coins from a water-filled boat. The water carriers wield torches in the night. Associative and hallucinatory imagery is interspersed by narrative moments. Towards the end, colour takes charge of the direction and the desire for water is fulfilled at a high price.
Kamakshi is a search. It's a meditation evoked by our most basic need of water. I read that in the future humans will have no right to water, the rivers, lakes, rain and oceans would be properties of corporations. the incredulity of such a thought was the seed of this film. This film is my exploration of thirst and the grit of old age. Exploring the elements of realism and fantasy in a social, political scenario of interplay between nature and mankind. Also animals and other life forms are quiet important in my film making style, so they are the crux of the water-less situation created by us.
Also it comes from delirium and dehydration be it of the body, mind or the spirit.
In today's climate of hatred and hoarding, the self-sacrifice of a person can bless life with regeneration and hope.

A brand new voice made its debut with the film, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota last week. Kamakshi Rai, the Mumbai-based playback singer who can sing effortlessly in many languages is enjoying the success of her songs - Dreamtime and Tere Liye, in the Ronnie Screwvala film. In the city for an event, the singer with a sultry voice talks about being inspired by real woman, singing in Karan Johar film and more. Excerpts:
I am extremely happy that the response has been quite incredible for my debut songs. More than anything, I'm glad that my playback debut was with a film like Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota because it's an awe-inspiring bunch of people to work with. The song Dreamtime made it to Apple Music's Bollywood A-List!
Initially, it was supposed to be just one song - Tere Liye. But when Vasan Sir, the director, heard my voice, he said he wanted a background score as well, in another section of the film. And as we worked on it, it kept growing and finally, we had Dreamtime as a full-fledged song.
I've grown up listening to such varied genres of music that today I sing everything, from Sufi and semi-classical to power ballads and jazz. My forte is singing. So whatever you throw at me, in whatever language, even if it's something I haven't done before, I'll sit with it, figure it out and sing it for you!
I'm inspired by real women that I see every day. My mother, who fought against every circumstance to be a professional singer is my biggest inspiration. Also Suchitra Pillai, with whom I worked in the musical Sing India Sing, inspires me a lot.
I perform in musical theatre productions and my recent show was Sing India Sing, which sold out in Mumbai. I have also performed in Wizcraft's Balle Balle. You'll hear some of my indie music soon, and probably see me on screen acting as well.
Dr. Kamakshi Bhaskarla is really happy because she won the Best Actress award at the prominent film festival, the 14th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival 2024 in New Delhi. She won the award for her amazing acting in the Telugu movie, Maa Oori Polimera 2, where she played the character Lachimi. This movie was also picked to be shown at the festival. Kamakshi wants to thank the team who made the movie possible and also all the people who watched and liked her acting.
Kamakshi Sdpack, a joint venture between the Germany-based Sudpack and Ahmedabad-based Kamakshi Flexiprints has commissioned its new and modern production plant near Ahmedabad on 14 October 2022 in a ceremony attended by senior officials of both companies. The plant was originally scheduled to be inaugurated in the summer of 2021. The opening ceremony was held for the new Kamakshi Sdpack production site after approximately a year and a half of construction that had been delayed by the pandemic.
As Susanne Blueml wrote in June 2020, German packaging company Sudpack had just entered into a joint venture agreement with Kamakshi Flexiprints, one of the leading producers of printed flexible packaging materials in India based in Ahmedabad. Kamakshi Flexiprints was founded in 1994 and serves the food and non-food industry with high quality and innovative, flexible packaging solutions. Sdpack is a manufacturer of high-performance films for the packaging of food, non-food and medical products and for use in technical applications.
The Joint Venture planned to build a new facility near Ahmedabad to cater to the maturing packaging needs of the Indian markets with a vast range of products in barrier, aesthetics and convenience flexible packaging. The well-designed infrastructure including state of the art extrusion, printing, coating and lamination capacities was scheduled for inauguration in the summer of 2021. The new facility was planned as a Green Building as per IGBC and comply with GMPs and effective international regulations and standards of the food industry, including BRC, FSMS ISO 22001, QMS ISO 9001, SMS-ISO 45001.
Carl presented the vision of Kamakshi Sdpack highlighting the outstanding cooperation of the joint venture partners and others involved in the project. The new plant near Ahmedabad is equipped with extrusion, printing, coating and laminating machines for the production and finishing of high-performance films and complies with the IGBC Standards for green building. The site will also comply with future international regulations and standards for sustainable packaging, a subject that is of growing importance in India.
The new complex covers an area of approximately 47,000 square meters divided into areas for extrusion, printing, laminating and pouch production. In the past couple of months, the individual lines were commissioned to produce flexible packaging solutions of the highest quality standards.
According to the WMR 2016 rules that were to some extent diluted in 2018, single-use plastic items such as simple plastic carrier bags are to no longer be produced by the end of 2022. Another step is the gradual phasing-out of multilayer laminates that are not recyclable and therefore predominantly undergo thermal recycling. In February 2022 the Indian government issued its latest version of the plastic waste management rules that establish the time frames for Extended User Responsibility regulations that are coming into force each year till 2030 for the gradual increase of recyclability of all plastic packaging.
What is remarkable about this week's release 'Ma Oori Polimera 2' is that it doesn't have a glamorous character. Its female lead, Dr Kamakshi Bhaskarla, is more of a protagonist. She is not reduced to songs and dances and rather gets to mouth the film's most consequential lines in the presence of a male character.
It is her studied portrayal of an unsuspecting and embittered housewife that adds value to the climax (aside from the twists, which are receiving a mixed response from the audience). For the unversed, Kamakshi won the Miss India Telangana 2018 title after completing her MBBS in 2017. "Since Covid-19 struck the world, I haven't practiced medicine. My dream has always been to become an actor," Kamakshi recently said.
The actress is a trained classical dancer to boot. Does this remind you of Sai Pallavi, who is also a trained dancer prone to pick only performance-oriented roles? While Kamakshi is leagues behind the 'Fidaa' actress, she might well carve a niche for herself in the coming years if she makes the right choices.
Karoline Kamakshi spans ten episodes, about twenty minutes each. It is a Tamil web show, streaming on Zee5, about two female cops, Karoline from France, and Kamakshi from Chennai trying to take down Furkin, the head of a crime syndicate attempting to trade a precious artifact. Karoline and Kamakshi are supposed to track him down and get their hands on said artifact, stolen from a museum.
"Sometimes she'll build an entire episode to showcase a single joke, as she did with the Fleabag episode in which Fleabag's sister, Claire, gets a haircut that looks like a semicolon draped itself over her skull."
Here too, the name Furkin seems to have been given, just for a single joke to land, exhausted in the first episode itself. It's not a funny joke. Chidambaram is training some CBI officers when his French friend calls.
I groaned, and strapped on for ten more episodes of equally if not more frustrating humour and dialogue exchanges. (Writers need to be paid more) Kamakshi, played by Meena is annoying, conservative, and tries too hard. Karoline is over-sexed with an alcohol problem that isn't diagnosed, and tries too little. She has an accent that is supposed to be French but sounds like an aspirational Indian imitating the colonial twang. At one point, when a peripheral character talks about her, he says France, but it is subtitled as "London". My hypothesis bore fruit.
