Although This film was released in 2003, I got to see this movie only in 2005. The reason being the film was never released in my city (Coimbatore, Tamil nadu) and I saw it through VCD. Almost immediately, when it started, it pulled me in and when I finished up this film, I felt like a huge blow has hit my head ! ! I liked it very much.
Kay kay menon, Shiny Ahuja and Chitrangda Singh have given a wonderful piece of acting. The relationship between all three of them has been shown clearly and in a very neat manner. The story takes the viewer through the period before, during and after the emergency declaration by Indira Gandhi. The turn of tides the three people experience in their life, forms the backbone of the story.
The best thing to be appreciated in this film is the representation of romance which Ahuja is having on Chitrangda singh. He knows very well that she is not loving him , but even then, he has a soft corner for her throughout this film, and ultimately pays the price for it. This has been wonderfully shown here.
Apart from this, the kinda life the backward people are experiencing in the villages of Bihar has shown with striking reality ! ! If one takes a look at the film, he'll understand why Bihar is like what it is like today ! The music has to be really appreciated . Excellent background music has taken this film to new heights. The cinematography also has to be praised a lot, for , it gives the film a more serious look and registers the movie well in the minds of the viewer. The song that captured my mind was 'Bhavra Mann' at the start of the end credits. I love this song very much and it has become one of my all time favorites ! ! My final comment on this film : If u want reality to land a huge blow, go see it. It will change your whole attitude for at least a while, and will make u think.
