Last week I watched Mirch, a movie by Vinay Shukla who also directed National Award winning movie ” Godmother”. The movie stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Raima Sen, Shahana Goswami,Arunoday Singh, Shreyas Talpade, Rajpal Yadav and Boman Irani.
Raima Sen looked stunning in the story from Panchtantra
This movie exposes the hypocritical attitude of Indian male and it also shows that though we have moved from ancient times to modern times but things are still the same.
Raima Sen, Shreyas Talpade with director Vinay Shukla
Something very daring, refreshing and sexy! The way in which the director tackled the subject is rather brilliant. Though, it could very well become the cause of indigestion for Indian males but the fact is that Indian society was far more open in its old days.
In Mahabharat , when Pandu suggested Kunti to begot their sons with the help of different Gods , he gave reference of a story of vedic era. He suggested that women were free to move according to their will in Vedic times when people were highly intellectual and learned and marriage as an institution were introduced only later by a saint named Rishi Shwetketu who was not happy with some incidents occurred in his life.
One thing, I couldn’t resist to say that I hated the publicity campaign of Mirch. Mirch is a visual treat! They created a beautiful ancient India in the Panchtantra story. Compared to that, the posters of Mirch were a BIG let down. I hope that these publicity mangers learn something about their job and become able to do justice to the efforts and dream of a director.
Anyways, it was refreshing to see women on driving seat in Vinay Shukla’s Mirch. Its a must watch , do not even think to miss this masterpiece.
