Fantabulous experience

I will very much Proud to be associated with this film as an assistant to the director As the crew which came from U S, they were very much humble And very friendly with us. I never felt while working with them uncomfortable and also the most important doing work in their manner The Director Mr. James was very much co-operative with us and also Mr. Rajesh Rathi the co-director from the Indian continent was very much helpful and friendly . He was very much clear with his vision When I came to knew that the film has won few awards I was just feeling amazed and proud to be associated Last but not the least , The producer Ms.Salila was also very kind to the entire unit

Intriguing Film to Watch: Southern Comfort meets Bollywood Cinema

The chemistry of the main characters is extraordinary. I found it very entertaining to watch the mystery unfold throughout the film. The sequence of events kept me feeling for Kris as he strive to find what is missing in his life. The real interesting part is how this film really explored the cultural elements and how everyone views situations differently. The film flowed very naturally from scene to scene and I felt very invested in the success of Kris for him to unveil his curiosity.

I really enjoyed this film and found it very entertaining. Highly recommended! A wonderfully crafted piece of cinema.

Tradition meets Western Desire for a mystical journey into the past

I saw this movie at the Central Florida Film Festival. I give it thumbs up for a modern twist on the old problem of parents from India pre-arranging their children's marriages even when they study many years in the US. Mysticism mixes well with cultural tradition and the story mixing and filed in two continents spans back generations to reveal karma. There are great views of Savannah as well as various areas in India. The heart is pulled in directions to please the parents, as well as your own heart And to do what feel right Makes you wonder of your own existence as well as the possibility of past lives. Enjoyable and appropriate for all ages.

Trivia
Director James Kicklighter was first informed about the film by production manager Ryan Watterson after the original director of 'Desires of the Heart' had to drop out for medical reasons. After a series of bi-coastal phone conversations in Los Angeles, James flew to Savannah for several days of meetings with producer/executive producer Solila Parida, during which she hired him for the job.
