Parampara – The film, in Telugu probes the issues of life, memories, change,
continuity and the eventual ending of life, through the eyes of a teenage boy,
caught in the inevitable process of ‘growing up’.
Pawan,
a small town boy from a middle class family, immersed in the
invigorating flow of life, looks at the future, through his innocent eyes, as
filled with great hopes, aspirations, with a keen interest in playing Shuttle
Badminton. In stark contrast, Pawan’s father is resigned to surviving life as
sheer drudgery, a series of compromises, endless frustration and conflicts at
every turn. This clash of attitudes
leads to a chasm in the father-son bond and at a later point, after a definite
turn in the story, they start to rediscover each other and begin to enjoy them
the natural bonding in the relationship.
Finally, all these incidents lead
towards an emotionally Charged sports day event at the school, where Pawan
keeps hoping that his father would come and watch him taking part in the sports
event, as he had promised on a certain occasion.
Though Pawan, finally had to come to
terms with the gut wrenching reality
that he shall never see his dear Father again, the spiritual bond formed
between father and son seems to continue in many ways…
