'Frame' Explores Ethical Dilemmas in Photojournalism Through Veteran and Rookie Perspectives
The film 'Frame,' directed by Vikram Patwardhan, explores the ethical conflict faced by photojournalists through the story of veteran photographer Chandu Pansare (Nagraj Manjule) and rookie Siddharth Deshmukh (Amey Wagh). It examines Chandu's detachment shaped by years of witnessing violence and its impact on his personal life. While praised for its thoughtful portrayal and performances, some critics note the film's conclusion simplifies the complex questions it raises about professionalism versus humanity in journalism.
