The Blue Umbrella DVD – Piu Dutt , Manek Bedi

‘The Blue Umbrella’ is a heart-warming adaptation of the beloved novella of the same name by Ruskin Bond. It is a film about desire about the zealous attempt to fulfil it and finally its conquest. The story unfurls with the discovery of a vibrant blue umbrella by Biniya a eleven-year-old girl from an idyllic mountain village in north India. She has never seen anything more striking and beautiful. Neither has Nandkishore Khatri. Nandkishore Khatri runs a small tea stall in the village. He is a miserly old man who has a fondness for pickles and swindling kids off their little possessions. Nandkishore is smitten helplessly by the beauty of the umbrella and goes to remarkable lengths to acquire the Blue Umbrella.
