Viruddh... Family Comes First (2005)
Needs editing but beautiful moments!
OK i was expecting something different but still i was happy overall with this movie. The starting is brilliant with the amit sitting in a cell cross legged saying nothing at all. As the first half draws together the family life of amit it does kind of drag on where you think when the hell is his son going to die and him fighting back? Although its got some gr8 comedy moments and sanjay dutt is brilliant as a mechanic called Ali. The movie takes a turn for the better once the son dies...the scene where amit is starring back at his son and his son narrates how he was wishing his dad would save him but both were helpless. I loved the way the son appears as the dead son narrating the film and offering us a glimpse into his life and his parents. I was expecting amit to start fighting in the courts for justice..i expected great speech's but thats not what happens. We actually get a more true to life account of amits fall into despair and the attempt to gain courage to take some action. there are lots of moments where you truly feel the pain of loss....the scene where amit is onthe bench and attempts to cheer himself by trying some laughter therapy just ends him breaking down into tears and i looking around i saw quite a few tears in the cinema audience..i too had to hold back. I thought the ending was rather sudden as if there as no time left to draw out some issues...instead the final court scene is so short i was expecting a nice long speech...or other high drama but no. Still you know i was actually perfectly happy with how things turned out..maybe the scriptwriter needed lessons in editing.
One thing that really peeved me about the film was the in your face product placement...i felt like i was in some kind of commercial ad...it was just too blatant and it just made me angry...there was no need to such blatant advertising..ill def NOT be using damned sandoz calcium tablets!
All in all a moving film..a film that proves once again the great acting capabilities of Amit...he just seems to be getting better and better with age...i think he was born to act no wonder he could never stay away from acting for long.
I must say the film does haunt you once you have left the cinema..you recount little parts in the film..especially the bench scene which will stay with me forever.
