Coming from a real life political drama, the communal rights that broke out in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzzaffarnagar in 2013 with horrendous, hostile and inhumane approaches from different communities to fight it, is the subject put on the table for the audience with the movie ‘Shorgul’.
nice movie I must say.
Showing different consequences of the horrific deeds of the people during these riots and what the innocents had to suffer as a result of it, Shorgul did a rather good job if that is the concern for the discussion. The moral of the movie was to highlight the fact that it is the political class which is the cause and the major cause of the difference created between different religions and it is the common man who is the actual sufferer, maybe the person be from any religion. The movie was quite distant of helping generate communal harmony. must watch this.As far as the picturisation was concerned, I would rather say the director could have done a better job as the temperaments of the characters were not getting absorbed by the viewer because of some typical irrational behaviours of the characters. Besides, the ensemble cast with terrific actors such as Jimmy Shergill and Ashutosh Rana weren’t used to their full potential. The temperament of a Choudhary of a village as far as how kind hearted he maybe was totally missing from the character.
