In the last one month, while watching bolly movies; it seems that bollywood seems to come of ages now. And we are now not only producing masala filcks with the same cliched stories but experimenting with new ideas. And a pretty amazing fact is that our producers are successfully experimenting this time...Last 2-3 weeks; I have seen a few movies like Rock On!!, A Wednesday, and Wlcum 2 Sajjanpur...These movies forced me to change my view about movie making in bollywood.They are not great hits on Box office, but for me they are nothing less than blockbusters. Again nothing wrng with the movie; as Indian juntaaa has still a long way to go to keep in line with these sort of movies. (NOM :) )..Coming to Wlcum to Sajjanpur... its a simple,sobre, and filled with a lot of humor which is refreshing.. As soon as u start watching the movie, from the word "Go"; u would find urself connected to the movie. If someone belongs to rural India or has been a part of rural India some day, one would find oneself reliving the past yet again... Saying it just a fine comedy flick would be a big disgrace to this movie; it encompasses a wider message for the audience. It deals with a few burning issues which present day rural India faces now and deals quite beautifully with them.
Well!!!,; I am not going to narrate the story of the movie, would just like to say that 'Go and watch this movie urself' and it will certainly bring smile to your faces. Director Shyam Benegal has once again proved his mettle and its really brave of him to come out of such a movie with (not-so-known ) star cast and still got the best out of them. Hats off to him!!!. Music of the movie was light and Seetaram track was superb. Shreyas Talpade yet again shows he has a lot of potential inside him and he just needs a big platform to become a star. Benegal has portrayed the characters in such a way that every1 in the movie seems real and perfectly suited for the role for which one has been chosen. In other words, every actor has done full justice to their role.
My verdict :- Highly Recommended.
A/c to Rajeev Masand's (Coutesy CNN-IBN):- Filmmaker Shyam Benegal's Welcome To Sajjanpur is not only one of the best films of this year, it's among the finest films you'll see in a long time. It is on the one hand, a humorous portrait of life in a small village in northern India; and on the other an honest exploration of human personalities
