The grossly undervalued Neeraj Kabi gave a life-changing performance in Ship Of Theseus. Kabi played a monk who wouldn't use pharmaceutical medicines even if it killed him.
The importance of this film lies in its complete eschewal of self-importance. Director Anand Gandhi takes on questions that echo across eternities. Rather than assume a position of infinite disposition the film’s tone is one of contained exposition. Sometimes ailing and healing become a unified process. Just as suffering is a precursor to wisdom, so too a film about the curative process can, and in this case, does, provide some profound insight into the workings of the human heart. There are three stories of infinite reverberations in debutant Anand Gandhi’s film. And what a debut Gandhi made!
