ABHIMANYU, whose story of youthful enthusiasm and selfless valour, torn asunder by vested interests and vicious hostilities, is the root of an injustice that we all feel acutely, but in different ways. Abhimanyu leaves his mortal remains and ascends the celestial path. He imparts the lesson that violence is useless in settling any dispute. There are no winners in a battle — the spoils of war being not riches — but senseless death and desolation. Production & Direction: Shobha Deepak Singh
