+
+
+A beautifully crafted and meditative
+documentary portrait shot on 16mm of the 80-
+year-old Madras-based Savithri Rajan, a
+virtuoso veena player who never performed in
+public. She was the disciple of the legendary
+musicians Tiger Varadachari and Veenai
+Dhanammal. The film is built around her music
+and family memories with K.K. Mahajan’s
+sensuous camera gliding through the spaces of
+her life or simply recording the aged but lively
+Rajan’s voice and music. Savithri Rajan’s
+extraordinary presence is the film’s focus, but
+Mathur manages to convey the complex
+interrelations between personal, familial,
+artistic and social rhythms of change, achieving
+the rare feat of doing justice to the
+accomplishments of the individual artist while
+at the same time suggesting how social
+elements constrained as well as nourished her
+life and her art.
