or UDAAN!

A brilliant movie that tells a story in a simple, straightforward and captivating manner. The pace is somewhat slow but each fold of events is enough to keep you watching. This is a movie that much be watched to experience a mixture of feelings that is seldom found in a single movie.

Last night FAB and I saw this on netflix and we wondered how we missed this when it came out in 2010. It’s a little on the dark side and rather disturbing but a definite watch. There is something to learn and understand from this movie. It makes you stop and thing about how simple things of life such as listening, understanding, love, togetherness, family can lead to bigger complications and frustrations.

To give a brief, the movie is about a young boy who comes back home from boarding school after being expelled, to a tyrant, authoritative father who demands his kids call him sir instead of dad. He comes back to find that he has a step brother he knew nothing about. the story unfolds of his coming of age and maturity under a very suffocating and stressful environment and how he breaks free from his binding life.

A brilliant, touching movie that is a must watch. Everyone will find something small to identify with in this movie even though one may not have had an oppressed childhood or dreams shattered, because in between the lines there is a story of triumph.

Afterthought: why don’t movies like these make it to the oscar?
