A passage to ancient India
A labour of love, Chiseled is Ram Alladi's debut work as a Director.
Just 23 minutes in length, Chiseled is a snapshot of the Kakatiya
Dynasty in the ancient Southern Indian district of Telangana and is
influenced by Alladi's own childhood recollections.
Taking the viewer on a journey over beautiful lakes and spectacular
temples and forts, Chiseled is a homage to the architectural and
sculptural achievements of the Kakatiya Dynasty and the majesty of the
region.
Chiseled's stunning cinematography takes in the miracle of floating
stones and earthquake proof sandboxes, fort entrances forged out of a
single stone, detailed carving of the deities and mythical animals, rain
harvesting tanks and much more and, allows the audience to bear witness
to the incredible engineering and building skills of the Kakatiyas.
In this sumptuous film, Alladi brings the ancient world to life with his
documentary which is now IMDB's highest rated documentary with country of origin,
India.
