Picasso (2023)

"Picasso" narrates the tale of Gandharva, a seventh-grade student from a remote village in the Konkan belt of Maharashtra, who earns a spot in a National Painting Competition. The prize entails a journey to Spain, Picasso's birthplace, to refine artistic skills. However, the entry requires a fee beyond Gandharva's family's means, particularly with an ailing mother and a father grappling with debt and alcoholism. Gandharva's father, Pandurang, was once a celebrated stage actor, but his addiction now hinders both his passion and the family's sustenance. Will Pandurang overcome his demons to revive his art, not for himself, but for his son? "Picasso" epitomizes the enduring bond between fathers and sons, the resilience of hope and dreams, and the transformative power of art in healing lives.
