Mother India

Well a bit unusual flick from bollywood. A female character was in the lead role in and around the movie. No drastic changes were made throughout the movie like Nargis ( Radha ) never motivated or try to change her any of the family members to do some exceptional things out of the box as if she also belong to the same place and she looked like a complete village woman, filled with courage and patience.  Nothing likes if Birju got inspired by his girl and try to get educated to put Lalaji on some hard rocks. Sunil Dutt saab was good and played a very sensitive role of that time.On one part of the story tells about the exploitation of Farmers, villagers and on the other hand it deals with the rage, agony in the heart of common Indian people against the money lenders and so called capitalists. Also it showed the age old clutches of poverty and illiteracy over Indian people mostly residing in villages.

When I was watching this movie,  some of the scenes were looking as real as if I have been part of the same story. Sometimes in past I have also seen such cases in my home town or near by villages. Though it may be 10 years back but I have seen farmers from nearby villages pleading in front of bank managers,  local money lenders, doctors, Government clerks , Rashanwallas and even seed distributers for least of their help or minimal cooperation. But as usual I had seen what I saw in the movie.

Best scene of the movie was when Nargis got angry over Sunil Dutt, his son and both of her son cooked food for Nargis and they try to convince her that Sunil Dutt ( Birju ) will never poke over other village girls.
