A SOULFUL SYMPHONY OF BIRTH, BELONGING & BECOMING

The New Indian Express Bengaluru

|

June 26, 2025

COME from the top... and I'm here to find my mother... That line, delivered by a voice with childlike wonder and cosmic wisdom, captures the essence of X & Y. From the very first frame, it's clear that Satya Prakash, known for his philosophical Rama Rama Re and Ondalla Eradalla, returns with his most metaphysical fable yet, a story stitched from genetics, spirituality, and the universal yearning to belong.

- A SHARADHAA

An allegorical and symbolic drama, X & Y opens not with a face, but a voice—the 'Mother of the Universe', instructing a soul to descend to Earth and find a story. In doing so, she gives us one: An unborn soul, eager to live, begs the creator to send it to Earth. He's been given a mission: to find and unite his future parents to earn his birth.

But this isn't a biology lesson. This is Satya Prakash's playground, where philosophy wears the mask of myth, and science becomes a doorway to the divine.

Introducing Kreede (Satya Prakash), an auto-ambulance driver with emotional honesty and quiet humor, and all he wants is to see people smile. Along with his sister (Harini) and brother-in-law (Sunder Veena), he has landed at the Adam & Eve Matrimony Centre, looking for a bride. Through a twist of fate, Kreede encounters a beggar. Is he really a beggar, a divine child, or a madman? We don't know. He has survived death only because a soul entered his body. Now a mysterious soul in human form, he is given a makeover, cladded in a 'Happy Birthday' t-shirt, and calls himself Jeeva.

We are also introduced to Asha (Ayaana), a woman with a heartbreaking past, visiting a clinic run by Kreede's brother-in-law. Her story resonates with the pain of many women denied love, dignity, and choice.
