The magic of films is unpredictable; while some entertain you, some quietly leave an impact on you. Flow Like Water Films’ Fragile, which is produced by Rajniesh Duggall and Anand Pachigar, does the latter and promises to stay with you for long. Fragile is India’s first film on Fragile X Syndrome and focuses on creating an awareness around this rare condition. Featuring Amruta Khanvilkar and Rajniesh as the parents of a boy named Aarav, it captures the journey of a couple who want people to treat their son normally—socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically.The teaser of the film was recently released, and what truly stands out is the simplicity with which the story is portrayed that you can’t help but feel every frame.
Fragile is not preachy; it will not shock you. Instead, it will show you the real life where something as innocent as a hug could cause a bone to break. The story seems personal, and nothing feels scripted. Even the characters feel like people we know, people we’ve seen, maybe even people we’ve been. Even in the silent moments Fragile is not just a film about a condition; it’s about strength that doesn’t roar. It’s about love that adapts. And it’s about the kind of awareness that begins with empathy, not statistics.
