Avijatrik

Avijatrik is essentially the story of a journey depicting Apu's ardor to be a globetrotter, to experience the outside world and immerse himself in myriad layers of life. The story revolves around a sublime bond between a father (Apu) and his 6-year-old son (Kajol) – wherein both are dependent on each other – heaping lavish affection and love for each other. The film has explored the beautiful tapestry of pure interpersonal relationships to recreate the magic of Apu– sharing adventures with his beloved son, Kajol. Apu is a warm & affectionate father to Kajol who lost his dear mother to an unpropitious fate during his birth. Aparna, Apu's late wife still exists in his surreal space—a space where he involves himself in eternal philosophical discourses with his beloved. Apu and Kajol start journeying to the northern part of India from Kolkata since Apu had just taken up a job as a resident teacher in an opulent estate. This journey creates an unfading and everlasting mark in Apu's heart as he chances upon his childhood sweetheart Leela, an astounding beauty whom he accidentally meets after ages. Leela, with her declining health is going to visit her daughter who stays with her grandmother in Benaras. Her marriage proved to be painful. Apu comes across a deserted and forlorn Leela; but loses her forever in few hours' times. Confessing her love for Apu, Leela succumbs to her illness and breathes her last in his arms.
