Aunty Sudha Aunty Radha

Aunty Sudha Aunty Radha (Docu/ Hindi/ 49 mins). Dir. Tanuja Chandra. Produced by Anupama Mandloi. The film follows two widowed sisters, aged 86 and 93, who have retired to their village, and whose days are spent with their adopted family of domestic help. Pulling along with their walkers (because of bad knees that turned inoperative a decade ago) the sisters do as they please, pay heed to no one and don’t bother with unsolicited advice. They don’t let their ailments unsettle them much and remain largely unfearful of death. With a rare acceptance of old age and all that it brings, they spend their time gossiping, watching T.V., soaking in the sun and bonding with the help of a hearty sharing of community life. Followed by an online discussion with the director & producer.
