PRAVAS

A beautifully told story of a boy caught up in the cycle of poverty and yet is brimming with integrity.

The story follows a young child named Tino (Shivam), who comes from an underprivileged family and lives in a small, remote village in India. The family is happy in their small world with what they have. One day a guy comes to his village and tells Tino and his schoolmates how beautiful Ahmedabad is! Tino is enchanted and the school organizes a tour of Ahmedabad at a cost of Rs. 800. Issues prevent Tina from going ad, he gives out all the reasons for not attending Pravas. The agony of not going on the school trip becomes his inner journey (Pravas) -- the captivating journey of a poor child.

Beautiful camera work, excellent audio, very believable acting. This film depicts the lives of a poor family in rural India - and not in a demeaning way - but a practical way.

I give Pravas 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for age 8 to 18, plus adults. By Julia S., KIDS FIRST!

Pravas depicts the story of a little child named Tino (Shivam), who comes from an underprivileged family and lives in a small, remote village in Gujarat, India. His mother works as a maid, and his father works at building sites. The family is happy in their small world with whatever they have. One day a city guy comes to this village and tells Tino about how beautiful Ahmedabad is! Tino gets immediately drawn to this, because until today, Tino had never been to Ahmedabad City. Furthermore, while this was happening, the school organizes a tour of Ahmedabad; the cost is Rs. 800. Tino is ecstatic to visit Ahmedabad because it appears like his wishes have come true. A few unfortunate events lead Tino to decide against taking the tour because of his family issues and doesn't go to Pravas. His friends and the class teacher all want him to join the school tour simultaneously. However, Tino is unshakeable about his choice. He gives out all the reasons for not attending Pravas. The agony of not going on the school trip becomes his inner journey (Pravas). Pravas is a captivating journey of a poor child.
