Ud Jayega (The Empty Train)
by Kunal Sen
Ud Jayega (The Empty Train) was an outcome of The Kabir Lab (a collaborative project on the 6th century Indian poet Kabir) in my final year in Srishti. Inspired by the song Ud Jayega Hans Akela (The Swan will fly away Alone) by Indian Classical Vocalist Pandit. Kumar Gandharva, the film creates a contemporary metaphor for the ideas expressed in the song.

The Trophy
What is behind the happily-ever-after tales when the dragon is defeated, and the noble savior, the knight liberates the princess from his paws? What if the knight is disinclined to love the now available beauty and is more enamored with the thrill of the kill – finding life’s fulfillment in contemplation of the stuffed head of the beast – the trophy? The ‘trophies’ of our day-to-day life…

Film reviews for Ud Jayega (The Empty Train)

Kunal Sen
"Ud Jayega" was a film I did while studying at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore, India.
"The song which inspired me to make this piece talks about the inevitability of Death, and of the fact that nothing in this world is permanent. I used the metaphor of the Indian Train (to which I am very drawn to) as this symbol of impermanence, where people fill and leave the train having completed their journeys… Created completely in Flash, I put a lot of effort into the Soundtrack to help heighten the mood of the film. I was unable to actually use the title song due to copyright issues."
This film was intended to be a part of a larger Documentary Film being made by our Course Coordinators, film maker Shabnam Virmani and Indian Classical Vocalist Tara Kini.
Having completed this film, I proceeded to create an Interactive Animation Installation based on the ideas of this film. "The Eternal Train" was exhibited at the ARS Electronica 2005 in Linz, Austria and at the Right Lines Gallery in Bangalore later that year.
