Should need to reboot together

Dr Shrish Pathak

The eyes really fail to see. Everything is before the eyes. What we do and what other do but what exactly we do we fail to see it. There will be no one who can claim he has not seen a husband who has never hit his wife. The discussion was for her shyness and his anger was termed his boldness and this is how we were called people with etiquette.

Women were given the responsibility of culture and they are thought that they should remain happy being the stone in the foundation. They could not see their mere existence being demolished. We had to be that much literate enough to understand that when effort, talent and self-confidence do not come with gender then we should not make one-sided social structure. But unfortunately we could not be even this much.

Praksh Jha had emerged amid a series of masala movies who touched these issues in his films where it was necessary to talk openly in the society. Later he found another way of presenting in which the issue was raised strongly but without a debate it met a pleasant climax. Many of us sketched it.

Director Anubhav Sinha 2.0 has caught that wandering thread of debate and without being loud the mobie Mulk and Article 15 showed we have to take side with right or wrong. And with the movie Thappad Anubhav Sinha has managed to reach the thread of debate in each courtyard. Our eyes have not yet seen what is being done in our family, and since when, may be since the starting. The most dangerous illness is the one that does not seem illness.

The subject of the movie Thappad is the one which might seem to us a trivial issue. A thing which we consider nothing. What has been happening is correct. This is not a argument but has come from the belief where we keep history in the side and we feel we are from God and not monkey.

The film has alerted me as a married man. I should believe that if I have never raised my had upon then it is maturity of the wife and in the melee of life it could have happened. I could have made the mistake as I have brought a big portion of my habit is from the society that has taught me to be a man. The movie has shown me that which often becomes blur and I am thankful to the movie for this.

The story by Anubhav Sinha and Mrunmayee Lagoo has two important aspects. The story demands answer from and blamed each age group. By these two aspects the story writers have explained how big is the issue.

Whether educated, or illiterate, rich or poor, children or adult, all have the same vision that it is all right. There is an absolute balance in male and female part. And this must not have been easy. A slap generates chain reaction and this might have been a nuclear test for other characters too.

If we talk of direction then I would first say that Anubhav did not made character of Tapsi sharp but made it deep. All those tough and hard questions were asked by Tapsi with much ease that they go deep in to the mind.

Such a strong character would have been made loud by any average director, and this would have generated whistles and claps in the cinema halls and the questions too would have left the audiences in the loud voice, which now have reached their homes. the scenes resemble our homes and are everyday scenes but we usually fail to see them. The director has made it seen by us. Hats off to Anubhav for making such a film in such limited time. Hopes will remain with you.

Cinematograpgy done by Saumik Mukherjee will compel audience to keep a few scenes with their mind. Editing by Yasha Ramchandani does not leave a chance for any unwarranted scene and connects well the first scene with the other. Songs are good but apart from one song the others do not reach home.

if we talk of acting then Tapsi is everything. In the entire movie her face and the changing expressions say a lot. The rest of the characters are silent. In the role of Tapsi’s father Kumud Mishra too has left a deep impression.Pavel Gulati, in the role of Tapsi’s husband too has done well. Ratna Pathak Shah has surprised in the role of a mother and mother-in-law. She is seen in a new avtaar.

The work of theatre artist Gitika Vidya was appreciated in the Netflix movie Soni but in the movie Thappad she has taken the story till the end in the role of a maid. She appeared effortless. The role of brother of Tapsi expressed the possibility in the story. He feels he is a apart of the same school of thought that all this is correct but later feels the need to reboot. Ankur Rathi has played this character and he was helped by Naina Grewal.

Manav is in a very small role but appeared intense. Diya Mirza looked looked cute in a small role. Ram Kapoor could not leave an impression. His character is a straight one. In the role of lawyer for Tapsi, it was Maya Sarao who took the character to another level. Other than her also the director has got good work done.

If people watch this movie with family it is a daring task as it is near impossible that any one will be spared from the questions raised. After Mullk the dialogues are written so straight that it calls for an ardent listening. If there is someone opening chips pack in the hall during the dialogue it feels bad. The movie at least will appeal us to reboot out mental system and this will not happen alone…. we should need to reboot together.
