Fresh off the release of ‘Do Diwane Shahar Mein’, Ravi Udayawar opens up about his artistic blueprint for the Siddhant Chaturvedi-Mrunal Thakur starrer. Treating cinema as an extension of painting, the director dives deep into the film’s evocative color schemes and character arcs.
During promotional interviews, Udayawar described his process vividly. Each project, he says, is a fresh canvas demanding unique strokes. Partnering with screenwriter Abhiruchi Chand, they wove a tapestry of emotional turbulence that guides the visuals organically.
The film’s beating heart is vulnerability. Udayawar reflects on modern life’s facade: ‘We curate our best selves online, burying weaknesses. Yet, the moment we own our truths, fear dissolves, and bonds deepen.’ This theme visually unfolds through evolving palettes—starting muted and clashing, then bursting into personal signatures, intensified by romance.
Outfits tell a parallel story, transforming alongside the soul-searching. ‘It’s a quest for colors that define you,’ Udayawar elaborates. Mumbai emerges as a romantic co-star, its gentle facets lending authenticity to the lovers’ journey amid skyscrapers and sea breezes.
Critics and fans alike praise how Udayawar blends self-discovery with Mumbai’s charm, crafting a film that’s as visually poetic as it is emotionally resonant. In an industry chasing spectacle, his painter’s touch offers a refreshing intimacy.
