Director Vijiyan (BLESSING, Festival 2005) lures local viewers in with a feeling of familiarity in the storyline, characters and suburban settings. However, there is enough originality in THE PLAYBACK SINGER that keeps you eager to share in the discoveries of the characters as they learn more and more about each other. And as a real treat for viewers, THE PLAYBACK SINGER is graced by the fine acting of veteran Indian actor and singer Piyush Mishra, who brings nearly three decades of performing achievement to the titular role of Ashok.
