| Awab, a popular novelist of hyderbad, is suffering from classic case of a writer`s block. Five years have elapsed. Stories of substance seem to have dried up. Almost providentially, Nawab comes across Meenaxi ar a tradtional qawwali ceremony. The young is enigmatic and individualistic. She`s Not quite willing to preform the part of a passive muse. Meenaxi assumes different personae. She can be the mysterious perfume trader of hyderbad. The exotic desert bloom of Jaisalmer and the orphaned Maria of Prague. Inexorably, she consolidates her command over the novelist. She dismisses his renewed attempts at writing as insubstantial and hackneyed, plunging him into a state of deepair. She is scathingly critical about his story and is amused by one of the characters he creates, the loveom and awkward kaameshwar Nawab strives to start on a new page all over again. Meenaxi Comments that perhaps the book is in vain. In any case, It is much too late. The writer must survive and live. If he can, without her support, inspriration and criticism. Delving into the limitless world of creative endeavor and the vicissitudes in the way of such endeavors, Meenaxi : Tale of 3 cities approaches myraid aspects, the relationship between art, the real and the imageined being just one of them. The film, acollaboration between India`s pre-eminent artist M. F. Hussain and his painter son Owais ,while constructing a fictional story, leaves itself open to interpretations and readlings by every viewers. |
