a thoughtful approach.

11 April 2012 | by pundrick baghel – See all my reviews

It is one of the rare intelligent movies. some of the the dialogues are unbelievable as i never expected such quality from a bollywood movie. very thoughtful and worth watching. central characters lead good performance. thinking on negative front could be that lyrics and music are not so great. performance by supporting cast could be distracting some times. the conflict between personal and social responsibilities is captured. movie indeed is a gentle reminder that it is possible to leave impact without huge budget. At the same time, it is sad that sch movies don't get the deserving acclaim. there is no specific high point in movie as it peaks throughout.

Story

The actual story begins in 1986, when the MNF signs a truce agreement with the Indian government. The rebels are torn between their heads and their hearts. How can we make peace with the soldiers who raped our women, pillaged our land, some of them are asking. The leader Mathew (Kay Kay) is the voice of reason: we have to forget the past for the future, the people want peace, he urges, and prevails. Even as Mizoram celebrates, a chance meeting finds Mathew inviting a Mumbai-based Mizo doctor (Aditya Srivastava) over to his house. After a drinking bout pondering on war and peace, the doctor is in no state to drive home and Mathew asks him to stay over. Upstairs, Maria (Sonali Kulkarni), Mathew's wife and fellow rebel, has recognised the man downstairs as the doctor in the Indian Army camp who raped her repeatedly when she had been caught and interrogated. She wants revenge.But she never saw the army camp doctor. She was blindfolded all the time. So how is she sure this man is the same, a horror-struck Mathew demands of his wife when he finds she has bound the doctor to a chair and started torturing him. I remember his voice, I remember his smell, Maria says. I am innocent, your wife has gone mad because of the army torture, the doctor pleads.What follows is a night of self-discovery for Mathew, Maria and the doctor. And perhaps, a message for terrorists who believe the 'cause' justifies the means; as well as people who feel the gun is the only solution for dealing with aggrieved, angry people.
