Parzania : A reality check?

An amazing movie this.

This movie makes you realize that incidents such as post-Godhra riots can happen any place,any time and affect anyone in our present day society. Including you. The family portrayed in the movie could well have been ours. The director smartly interweaves the story of a family next door with the horrors of the Gujarat riots.

The movie is neither technically brilliant nor are the acting skills of some of the supporting cast worth mentioning. But the performances by the lead players make up for it. Perhaps what strikes us most in the movie is that it's based on a real life story. That is where it hits us hard. A reality check, perhaps?

It is such a pity that this simple but honest movie could not even find distributors for a long time. It should come as no surprise though that it is banned in Gujarat , given the fact that the ruling government's true colours has been boldly and unabashedly depicted in the movie. Time to face some home truths.

Watch it on the big screen.

Parzania is surely not one of the typical run of the mills type,which many of our ppl keep out churning.
The movie is hardhitting and leaves you thinking on the pain,trauma and anguish of a family that is still exisiting.

Guess,time to bid byes to romantic,family love stories and take up more serious and bold subjects as Parzania

I wouldn't have commented on this one.After all,I have yet to watch this movie.It will probably strike a chord somewhere.But this one's for the title - "Parzania : A reality check?".Is Gujarat a part of the great democratic republic called INDIA? Are there authorities other than the Censor Board the filmmaker needs to please? The fight for the screening itself is a reality check that nothing has changed post-Godhra and nothing will change, atleast in the near future until the "Saviours of Hindutva" exist.
For whatever reasons, the question mark at the end of the title seems so appropriate.

Well, i guess the Gujarat government can get away with murder ( pun intended).
