About The Book

Is a Film Story’s Heart Bigger Than Its Budget?
A young filmmaker named Akshaya is about to have her beliefs truly tested.
Akshaya grew up in Ayodhya, learning a strong lesson from her grandmother: real strength means doing what's right—your Dharma—without being afraid or boastful.
She travels from her home by the Sarayu River to a busy film festival in Varanasi. Akshaya brings a simple, honest film about the everyday lives and struggles of her people, a story she made with all her heart.
However, the festival is full of big, expensive international movies that look more polished than her small film. Akshaya begins to have serious doubts.
Now she has to make a choice: change her film just to please the audience and win awards, or stick to her honest vision, trusting that the truth matters more than fame.
Can a simple, honest story compete with and win against the flashy, big-budget spectacle?
