IFFI 2009: Sona Jain on ‘For Real’
Jain’s first feature film is the story of a six-year-old who witnesses a moment of discord within her family.
The ensuing depression evident in her parents causes a chain reaction in the child’s mind, making her withdraw into a fantasy world where she believes her real mother has been sent to the Orion Galaxy and “mother” at home is really an alien. No one believes her story till the lonely child runs away in search of her real mother.

I have seen the trailer. Seems to be a masterpiece film rare to come by. Lots of places are captured which might never again exist in Bombay .The sound, the timing all are perfect.
Congrats to Joseph Mathew for such a rare masterpiece, awaiting more and more of such genres for Indian cinema.
