Kadvi Hawa (Dark Wind) is a powerful and heartrending drama that captures the very real threat of climate change. The film stars Ranvir Shorey as a young bank loan recovery agent and Sanjay Mishra as a blind old farmer, ironically both coming from two extreme weather conditions having zero contribution to the global climate change but have to fight for their survival.
Short Synopsis
Once famous for farming, the people of the Mahua region in Rajasthan have forgotten the earthy scent of rainfall on their soil. Erratic and receding rainfall has led many farmers into debt traps set out as loans offered by banks. Unable to grow food grain anymore and to escape repayments, many farmers end up committing suicides. Hedu, the blind father of a farmer fears his struggling son may do the same. Gunu Baba, a ruthless bank agent arrives with a growing list of suicides attributed to him. People call him a god of death. The blind father finds his sons life threatened by the failure of his crops and the mounting pressure of bank repayment. In the case of the agent, regular floods and frequent cyclones threaten his family in the coastal village of Satabhaya, Odisha. Each wanting to save their own family, they end up helping one another. Dark Wind is a wake-up call for a world still unprepared to face the consequences of their actions, while climate change becomes a reality for millions of people.
