Review
Subas Das has proved his excellence as a thoughtful filmmaker in his first person narrative debut film Aw Aaakare Aa wherein he has expressed his concern over the flaw full primary education system prevalent in Orissa and many other States of India. However this is the only system of education in rural Orissa.
In this 90 minutes movie Mr. Das has tried to suggest an alternative to the age-old system through his protagonist Mini who always wanted a teacher of her choice and finally discovered in herself only. The form itself is the novelty of the film wherein the childhood and the adulthood of the protagonist are presented physically together in the cinema.
