The Sixth Annual Hidden Gems Film Festival kicked off with Anumati (Assent) by Director Gajendra Ahire. Veteran Actor Vikram Gokhale plays the lead role in the film as Ratnakar Pathare who is dealing with inner turmoil whether to sign the Do not Resuscitate form for his comatose wife played by Neena Kulkarni, or not. The hope to see her come out of the coma sends him on a wild goose chase to find money any which way he can. He is ready to sell his house for pittance. He goes to his daughter who manages to give him little she can, goes to his brother who cheats him out of his inheritance and also to his old college friend played by Rima Lagoo. Vikram Gokhale’s acting skills are commendable and moves you until you can feel the anger, the pain and his helplessness. He won National Film award for his riveting performance. The rain drenched backdrop and melancholy and haunting musical score adds to the elements of pathos in the story.
