Review: Danny Denzongpa’s ‘Frozen’ is a decent human interest story

Spicezee Bureau

Mumbai, May 08: Danny Denzongpa’s ‘Frozen’, which released all over this Friday, seems to be perfectly timed, since people are desperately looking forward to some new weekend releases these days. The story revolves around an aging father Karma (Danny), who is struggling to clear his debt. Karma has a young son Chomo (Skalzang Aungchuk) and a pretty daughter Lasya (Gauri) who every moneylender lusts after. At the time when old man Karma fails to manage to do any business, he finds himself completely helpless. And adding to his trouble, the Army sets up a camp right outside his house, making it impossible for him to sell off his land for money. Then Karma finally is left with no choice and is forced to decide whether to sell off his daughter and relieve his son and himself from the heavy debt or continue to fight the dreadful situation. Although, shot in Ladakh in black and white, ‘Frozen’ is a very simple story, and is not something we have been seeing on screen too often. On the whole, it makes a decent human-interest story.
