Cama Sood Hara
This documentary film is based Nottingham & Sevilla based Filmmaker and Barrister Haresh Sood himself who tells his own story. Whilst his first film was about the marriage of his niece (the global hit, My Nieces Big Fat Delhi Wedding), this time the spotlight is on Haresh himself for not being married.
For the first time, we hear from a British Indian male on how and why he is unmarried at the age of 48 years. The title of the film is a spin on an old famous Indian scripture which has a deep meaning which you understand as the story unfolds.
Haresh intelligently highlights the discrimination, taunts, comments, and amusing views he has had to endure, whilst simultaneously highlighting the dark underbelly of the Indian matrimonial system.
In the film, Haresh opens his heart and shares his personal and emotional journey through love, loss and much more. He explains how the help of laughter and his chocolate Labrador Pancho, (and many other L words) have played a prominent role in rediscovering his own happiness, including his own larynx.
Haresh cleverly examines the proscribed ‘union of marriage’ by turning the tables on the agents and advocates of matrimony in all communities and cultures. He directly puts them under the spotlight asking them to sell the union to him, adducing some contradictory and interesting responses.
In addition to the the comedy Haresh brings in his skillful story telling manner, his journey highlights many subjects which are never spoken about which have led to many people to being single either through choice, divorce, or having a disinterest in relationships.
Moreover, he creates and shares an insightful theory as to why relationships work and fail from his own experiences based on a plethora of research from experts called the 'I theory' which is gaining immense interest.
The film which has been shot over 5 countries (U.K, India, Kuwait, Spain, and Norway) has a cast, crew, and production team of 250 people and has been receiving immense attention globally amongst the independent film circuit because of it's unique story. Moreover as the film tours, it is receiving rave reviews which can be seen on all social media platforms @HareshSoodFilms
