Produced by Sunil Doshi of Behja Fry fame, Directed by Rupali Guha, Daughter of veteran filmmaker Basu Chatterjee, Aamras is a coming of age youth film about friendship among four young 17-18 year old urban schoolgirls- Jiya, Pari, Rakhi and Sanya.
All four are very close and come from varied background attending one of the most prestigious schools in Mumbai.
All four have no secrets among themselves. They support one another in all their endeavors– good or bad– they have promised to remain friends forever with no sorry’s and no thank you’s as their mantra. These friends will do just about anything to keep the friendship going.
But circumstances change and the friendship is questioned- The social and economic differences in their backgrounds begin to create further rifts in the friendship. A hitherto close knit of friends find the paths diverging dramatically. The four who had promised to be together for eternity go their separate ways by the time they graduate.
How the four realize what true friendship means in this changing world and how the four settle their differences is what Aamras is all about.
The film’s USP lies in its subject, which has hitherto rarely been dealt with.
Aamras will make one remember what it was like to have friends when you were 17, and it makes you glad that they were there.
