‘Young Wrestlers of India’ brings to fore the raw exuberance of
ancient Pahalwani culture in India. Pahalwani traditionally uses the
body as the means to explore oneself. The affect is much deeper
than what is seen on the surface. For young Pahalwans, a lot of
life is at stake as they race from being small wonders to become
big fighters. There is an evident wild side for sure but at the same
time there is an open vulnerability throbbing to pop out any
moment. ‘Nanhe Pahalwan’ chooses to depict the vulnerability and
that too within the contours of a studio setting, an experiment
better suited at the fences.
