Ship of Theseus is a 2013 Indian drama film written and directed by Anand Gandhi, and produced by actor Sohum Shah. The film explores "questions of identity, justice, beauty, meaning and death through the stories of an experimental photographer, an ailing monk and an enterprising stockbroker", played by Aida El-Kashef, Neeraj Kabi and Sohum Shah.
After three years in development, the film premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received great critical acclaim[1][2] and was touted as "the hidden gem of the year".[3] It has received highly positive reviews from both Indian and international press[4] and has been hailed as "the most significant film to come out of India in a very long time".[5] Film critic Derek Malcolm has called it a "life-changing film" and Variety commended its "unexpected grandeur".
The title of the film alludes to Theseus’ paradox, most notably recorded in Life of Theseus, wherein the Greek historian and philosopher Plutarch inquires whether a ship that has been restored by replacing all its parts remains the same ship.
The film released in India on 19 July 2013.[6] It won the award for the Best Feature Film of the year at the 61st National Film Awards.[7]
Plot
Aaliya Kamal (Aida El-Kashef) is a visually impaired and celebrated Egyptian photographer in the process of undergoing a cornea transplant that will restore her vision. Though the surgery is a success and Aaliya’s vision is restored, she has trouble adjusting to her new found sense of sight and is dissatisfied with her resulting photography.
Maitreya (Neeraj Kabi), an erudite Jain monk,[7] is part of a petition to ban animal testing in India. When he is diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, his reluctance towards animal tested medication is questioned and he must now depend on the people he’s been fighting against – a path he refuses to take.
A young Indian stockbroker, Navin (Sohum Shah), has just received a new kidney. He soon learns of a case of organ theft involving an impoverished bricklayer, Shankar. He initial fears is that his new kidney was the one stolen from Shankar. When he learns that the recipient of the kidney lives in Sweden, he decides to go there to help Shankar get his kidney back – but is Shankar perhaps better helped by a large financial settlement instead of having two kidneys again?

Production
Development
Anand Gandhi conceived the story while he was nursing his ailing grandparents at the hospital.[8] It was here that he developed stories addressing the idea of the self, change and death. Through the ailing monk and the socially incognizant stockbroker, Gandhi and co-story writer Khushboo Ranka discussed questions of non-violence, altruism and responsibility. On cinematographer Pankaj Kumar’s suggestion they developed the parallel story of a visually impaired photographer, who struggles with her revived sight following a cornea transplant. Gandhi spent the year after that developing the screenplay. With a screenplay in hand, he set out to meet several producers – both independent and eminent. However, talks of producing the film was usually perceived as a challenge, owing to prejudices about the commercial viability of an Indian film, dealing in such subject matter. Eventually, actor Sohum Shah decided to step in as the producer of the film, "to safeguard the artistic integrity of the project".[9]
Casting
Anand first met Egyptian filmmaker Aida El-Kashef in 2008, at the Hannover Film Festival where their respective short films – `Continuum’ (which Gandhi had co-directed with Khushboo Ranka) and `Rhapsody in Autumn’ – were being screened.[10] The following year, Aida assisted Anand with the casting of the film. Her reading of the photographer’s lines, while auditioning actors for the character of the boyfriend, motivated Gandhi and DP Pankaj Kumar to cast her in the role. The character was subsequently re-written to accommodate her background and ethnicity.[11]
Neeraj Kabi, a Mumbai-based theatre actor and director, was considered for the role of Maitreya, from the outset. Gandhi and Kabi discussed the character in detail, and rehearsed for a few months, prior to principal photography.
Sohum Shah met Gandhi through a mutual friend, and was chosen for the role of Navin in the stock broker story, along with his friend and ally, Sameer Khurana (aka Mannu). Eventually, Shah found himself drawn to Gandhi’s story and vision, and came on board as the producer of the film as well.[12]
A lot of non-actors and friends were cast to play secondary and passing parts. Sunip Sengupta is a real-life lawyer. Vinay Shukla playing the young law intern Charvaka is a filmmaker, Megha Ramaswamy, playing the interviewer, is a writer-producer. Paromita Vohra, a feminist documentary filmmaker, makes an appearance as well.[11]
Filming
The film was shot over a period of two years on a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV,[13] along with a Redrock Micro rig and a lot of guerilla techniques developed by DP Pankaj Kumar. Most of the film was shot on location in and around Mumbai, in Jaipur, Chhitkul (Himachal Pradesh) and also included a brief schedule in Stockholm.[14] While shooting outside of Mumbai, the production unit generally consisted of a three-person crew, with each multi-tasking in various capacities.
For the Stockholm shoot, Gandhi connected with Rupesh Tillu, a theatre and clown artist based in the city. Tillu handled production and helped the team connect with actors and scout locations. He also played the role of Ajay, Navin’s friend in Stockholm.[15]
To portray the ailing physical condition of Maitreya, Kabi lost close to 17 kilos (37.5 pounds, approx.) over four months, through a rigorous diet and exercise routine.[16] Through this period, Kabi’s fragile state deterred him from taking on any additional acting or theatre work.
Gandhi also collaborated with Budapest-based Sound Designer, Gabor Erdelyi, who had earlier worked on some of Bela Tarr’s films, including The Turin Horse.[17]
Release

A work-in-progress version of the film was screened in the Film Bazaar in Goa in 2011. This is where Netherlands-based film sales company, Fortissimo Films, picked up world sales rights to the film.[18]

The film was screened at Munich and Transylvania where it won the Best Film and Best Cinematography awards.[26][27][28] It was also shown at the Sydney Film festival,[29] where Anand was invited to be a part of the international jury.[30][31]

Film was further released in 17 more cities on 2 August. Kiran Rao, after watching the film at Enlighten Films’ Naya Film Festival, came on board to present it to Indian audiences with UTV Motion Pictures as the distribution partner.[32]

Reception
Critical response
Reviews for the film have been largely positive.[38][39] Some reviewers named it "one of the most significant films to have ever come out of India".[40][41]
Members of the Critics’ Circle, UK were invited to select and introduce a screening of "the film that changed their life," to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the organisation. The list of 15 films included The 400 Blows, Annie Hall, Raging Bull, The Battle of Algiers and Hamlet.[42] The president of the British Federation of Film Societies, Derek Malcolm[43] chose Ship of Theseus.
Screen International commended the film as being, "Cerebral, visually stunning and completely different to anything we’ve seen before from independent Indian cinema… [a film] aiming at art and importance rather than mere profit."[44] Variety wrote, "Indie Indian cinema has finally come of age on the international fest scene, and no film better demonstrates this than Ship of Theseus."[17]
The Canadian film critic, Marc Saint Cyr, after viewing the film at the Rotterdam film festival, in his Senses of Cinema review said, "unquestionably describes [the film] as [a] true revelation". He also noted the dialogue to be, "consistently gripping, strikingly intelligent, and occasionally laced with surprising humour".[45]
The Globe and Mail called it "an intellectual, contemplative film", and also pointed out "its occasional tendency to take its abstract ideas on the nature of self-identity and wrap them into neat plot twists can mildly disappoint. A small criticism though."[1]
Indian film critic Rajeev Masand in his review wrote, "Languidly paced and lushly filmed, Ship of Theseus is just as rich cinematically, and benefits from terrific performances by each of the protagonists, particularly Kabi whose physical transformation as the ailing monk is a sight to behold."[46]
Shubha Shetty-Saha in her five-star review for Mid-Day observed, "Once in a while comes a film like this one, which along with shaking your core, also manages to make you grateful for being a humble part of the audience. 'Ship of Theseus' is one such rare film."[47]
An NDTV review opined that, "Ship Of Theseus is an extraordinary achievement. To miss it would be tantamount to missing one of the finest Indian films of recent times."[48]
Peer response
Shekhar Kapur tweeted, "Finally a brilliant new filmmaker emerges in Anand Gandhi with `Ship of Theseus’."[49][50]
Actor Hugo Weaving said, "Ship Of Theseus is an absolutely rare and profound piece of cinema, full of wonder and enlightenment. Anand Gandhi has proved himself as a groundbreaking filmmaker."[33][34]
Anurag Kashyap called it, "The most brilliant film to have been made in India in decades. Puts all of us to shame."[51][52][53]
Veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal deemed it, "A rare film that engages your mind, emotions and senses in equal measure providing the viewer a cinematic experience that is both hugely entertaining and stimulating."[54][55]
Celebrated documentary filmmaker and polemicist Anand Patwardhan wrote, "Anand Gandhi’s 'Ship of Theseus' is Kieslowskian in scope and delivery, playing between serendipity and causality, but it took me that crucial step further in its rediscovery of the human."[56][57]
Man Booker Prize winning author and political activist Arundhati Roy wrote, "Ship of Theseus is a profound and fearless film. It is fearlessly contemporary, fearlessly un-noisy and utterly beautifully observed."
Atul Kulkarni called it, "Ship of Theseus. A must, must , must watch. Go with lots of patience and you shall be rewarded with a 'life' time experience ..."[58]
Dibakar Banerjee said, "Ship of Theseus gave me serious doubts about myself as a filmmaker. I seriously introspected for two-three days about my thinking as a filmmaker... This was one film which captivated you, which held you, which mesmerised you without manipulating even once."[59] He also wrote a favourable review on the film and afforded it much praise, encouraging readers to watch the film twice.[60]
Accolades
Awards and honors
Themes and interpretations
At the core, the film assumes a, "physical and philosophical interpretation of the Ship of Theseus paradox."[84] Questions of death, morality and ethics form part of the struggles of each of the three central characters. TimeOut London has called it a "A docu-drama interweaving three stories exploring life in contemporary Mumbai."[85]
Most of the themes are apparent through the film’s characters: "They shared the central themes of idealism, identity, flexibility and the fallibility of conclusive knowing… At the heart, it is a story that celebrates dichotomy, paradox, duality and irony."[86]
The film also delves into the nature of relationships – "bound by similarities and challenged by the differences." Anand Gandhi has been further quoted as saying the characters themselves are, "…manifestations of my artistic, ethical, social and philosophical struggles."[86]
Sight and vision
The character Aaliya’s visual disability has been described as being central to the idea of the Theseus paradox, wherein one of her parts has been replaced as it was in the mythical ship. It is this replacement that affects her photography and is recognised as the central conflict of the film.[87] Her regained sight sees her relinquishing her natural intuition.[88]
Identity and change
The filmmaker has been quoted as saying, "There have been a lot of ideas that have fascinated me for a long time. Ship of Theseus has got a very interesting problem of identity and change. The idea that a human changes through a period of time bring us to the question of identity. We also face the question of responsibility in a constantly shifting, changing scenario. The film is a series of interesting problems,"[89] Nowtoronto.com in its review observed that, “the film measures Mumbai's changing identity, where the modern equivalent of reincarnation could be a kidney transplant.”[90]
Personal beliefs
The monk faced with the dilemma of depending on the very people he is fighting against as a result of his diagnosis, is forced to choose between dying and compromising on his beliefs.[91] His battle with the disease and the notions of those around him makes it an all the more difficult task to stick to his ideals.[92][93]
Morality and ethics
The stockbroker’s pursuit of the stolen kidney’s recipient results in his questioning the morality of such a situation. The film also explores the intricacy of morality.[94] It is the moral dilemmas of all three protagonists that tie the seemingly disparate parts of the film together. [95]
Organ donation
The story of the film depicts changes in lives of people who received organ transplants. The film depicts cornea, liver and kidney transplants.[96]
Literary and cultural allusions and references
The title of the film, 'Ship of Theseus’ alludes to the highly debated Theseus’ paradox (also referred to as the Theseus’ Ship). The paradox engages in the idea of identity: "If parts of an object are replaced with similar parts, does it remain the same?" The film also refers to ethical issues brought out by applying the Theseus paradox to human beings, "All the cells in a person’s body regenerate entirely in seven years. An individual goes through a shift psychologically, ideologically and physically. Is it still the same person?"[97]
The young lawyer’s name, Charvaka, is a reference to the ancient Indian atheist Cārvāka, said to have founded the first atheist system of Indian philosophy that assumes various forms of philosophical skepticism and religious indifference. His resulting dialogue with the monk takes on a similar stance.
The film also pays homage to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the satirical religion started in reaction to the introduction of teaching creationism in schools. The T-shirt donned by the character Charvaka in a scene with the monk reads "Pastafarian", an allusion to the followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.[98]
During the photographer’s interview she mentions Patrick Süskind’s novel, Perfume and likens her intent with art as being similar to the protagonist from the book "in the quest to capture the essence of everything".
An early trailer of the film played a scene deleted from the final cut, which had the character Vinay (Faraz Khan) read out a quote from Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation. "Photographic light is not realistic or natural, it is not artificial either..." In the same scene, Aliya, the photographer, also refers to the sphere in a plane-land thought experiment.
The character of Maitreya draws inspiration from thinkers, philosophers and activists such as 19th-century Jain philosopher Shrimad Rajchandra, who was a spiritual guide of Mohandas Gandhi, activist Satish Kumar, environmentalist Abhay Mehta and Peter Singer. In one of the scenes, the character Dr. Bhargava presents Maitreya with a copy of the Resurgence (Resurgence & Ecologist) magazine that is published and edited by Satish Kumar, known as the man who "walked the planet".[96]
Anand Gandhi on the genesis of his film, "The three short stories evolved to fill in the three corners of the classical Indian trinity of Satyam-Shivam-Sunderam (The pursuit of truth, the pursuit of righteousness and the pursuit of beauty)."[86]
The TV in the stock broker's hospital ward shows an elderly man cycling through water. It is a reference to an inventor from Bihar who modified a bicycle to turn it amphibious at the flip of a switch. The fictitious new channel is a nod to the National Innovation Foundation, an autonomous institution that supports grassroots innovations.[19][99][100]
Inventions
The voice over mechanism that the photographer’s camera has installed as a sight-aid, is an in–film invention by Anand Gandhi.[101] There currently is no such assistance available for the visually impaired.
The monk’s chant was written in Prakrit, specifically for the film, in order to lend credibility to the fictitious religion that he follows, inspired from Jainism and Buddhism.[102]
