Neela Kuthira (2019)

Krishnan (9) gets fascinated with the story of Barbarik, a prince from Mahabharata who could end the war in a minute but was not allowed by Lord Krishna to fight the war. The boy hunts around this complex and fascinating myth of Barbarik in real world who he believes owns a blue horse and has lotus marks under his feet. The boy creates his own world and wanders to find Barbarik's blue horse. The way myth and religion drive our lives in India, Krishnan's life is also driven by the myth as told to him by his grandmother and he believes that reaching Barbarik would help him solve the problems between his father and the mother. The blue horse becomes the metaphor of the little boy's view of the world. At a point the myth and reality of the little boy collide.
