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.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD A WAR CHEST NOW

HERE are warning signs all around. Despite trade wars and geopolitical tensions, the relative calm in asset prices is disturbing. Equity assets and gold prices do not rally or fall in tandem.
