After the hyena turns into a killing machine, Pi is left with only the tiger, Richard Parker, on boat. Pi remains largely unscathed, but now finds himself in the dangerous and unlikely company of a Bengal tiger, a zebra, a hyena and an orangutan. ![]() When the Emergency happens, Pi’s parents, who are zoo owners, decide to move to Canada, but are unable to survive the deathly Mariana Trench. ![]() Thus, Pi grows up with both these traits of his parents - he was curious, passionate and instinctive (the qualities which actually aided him in surviving very many days in an impossible situation). While Tabu encourages his son’s impulsive and curious streak to explore other faiths (at one point, the young Pi was said to be dabbling between Christianity, Islam and Hinduism), Pi’s father is more of a rationalist a man of science if you will. For the unversed, the film’s narrative revolves around the titular Pi, who lives in Pondicherry with his parents (portrayed by Tabu and Adil). The film, which marked the debut of a 19-year-old Sooraj Sharma, also featured the likes of Irrfan Khan, Tabu and Adil Hussain in pivotal parts.Ī two-hour visual fest, Life of Pi was bolstered by the raw innocence of the debutant Sharma and the sheer talent of Tabu, Irrfan and Adil. ![]() It is not every day you come across a movie that is as visually rich and technically sound as the 2012 Ang Lee directorial Life of Pi.
