topi - a short film by Rihan


This is a lovely animation film expressing so subtly,simply and beautifully the poignance of partition.
A briefing:
Inspired by a true story during the partition of the Indian Empire into India and Pakistan in 1947, this piece follows Bir, a Hindu boy waiting to board a train from Pakistan to India with his mother. When a violent turn of events separates them, and he gets lost in the middle of a communal riot, Bir must find his mother before it’s too late.


Directed & Animated By: Arjun Rihan
Partition was so unfortunate...
around a million people were killed and separated from families in the communal riots...

I got totally engrossed in this simple story of a young Hindu boy who has a chance to encounter a stranger amidst the turbulent partition of India circa 1947.Loved the expressions... esp 354 - 410.. the comfort, bonding, understanding of the situation, maturity...

Hats off to you Arjun!

    and I liked what you said at Delhi Traffic Police "Well, We can fight terrorism only if we think beyond communal boundaries... so lets not get into the communal divisions.. and concentrate on fighting terrorism together... - ALL OF US... God Bless" That is the spirit!
