I went to see the movie as a time pass and second thing when Vivek had got broken his leg I was in Kolkata. When the movie started it was seems to be an ordinary hindi movie. But when I saw the same seen from 3 point of views it was amazing. I had always wanted to see the other part of the story which was there. Then the love and Kolkata girls. That was amazingly great. Three type of girls.
One from Traditional Bengali family. One from modern bengali family with lot of money and third a bengali girl from Anglo Indian area (I had been there and belive it was the best potrate). All of them having different social values but same thing love for their friends/husband.
Boys : One is a UP guy who is being used by the leaders, which is a common phenomenon in Bengal. The UP/Bihar guys are being used there for the crime. Second a Anglo who is local student and want to change the rules and way the world going. The Socialist thinking which is still alive from the old scholors to the new generation. Third a Kolkata guy who lived in Delahi and wanted to flee US a nice dream for every youth in India I think.
So these three different carectors and three different stories and they are coming togather by an accident and then the thoughts of the great team of Maniratnam. Its a potrate to see the modern Kolkata as well the political sensetivity of the city.
Here we seen the traditiona family and modern also. The best part was the election when I was seeing that part once I thought It might be taken from the AGP (Assam Gana Parisad) story. And again it was impressive. Maniratnam was aware of the history of AGP. He at that point made it clear by the mouth of a TV reporter that, This seen is more energetic then what happend in the time of Prafull Kumar Mohanti. So there I seen the presence of mind of the story line.
At last it was a nice good movie and another positive approach movie from Mani Ratnam. Thanks for taking such a nice subject.
