NOW THEN FOREVER / KAL AAJ KAL
Synopsis
Kal Aaj Kal is a reflective documentary exploring the centuries-old tradition of lineage record-keeping by Hindu priests in Haridwar. Through intimate visuals, voices, and archival records, the film captures the cultural and emotional weight these genealogical registers carry for generations of families. It sensitively traces the practice’s evolving inclusivity — notably, the gradual documentation of women’s lineage — and the enduring significance of these sacred records in both personal memory.
