Theatre: big cinemas Vapi
Theatre status was not,much pretty impressive. I really missing the FDFS feel in our Kerala, calm and quite people no whistles and adult jokes , but it delivered me to be in the story throughout each and every frame .
This film , Madras cafe revolves around the srilankan issues during the late eighties upto the death of Rajiv Gandhi. This is supposed to be a work of fiction. But there is only one way to genuinely enjoy this film, which is to treat it as authentic recreation of a very important though unfortunate event of our contemporary history that we know nothing about. Besides that a woman with a bomb strapped around her waist, in the presence of thousands of people at a political rally, blew up a gentleman who was soon to be re-elected the Prime Minister of India in 1991.
The film shows us,the evolution of Tamil eelam LTTE (LTF in film) in the, srilanka . We can see how western policy makers and other warlords feed LTTE just like the way USA brought up osama in afgan .
This story shows the action of indian peace keeping force PKF in the island and also depicts the back stabbing done by some intelligence officers that lead to the death of many brave soldiers on that island .
John Abraham (strikingly sincere, both as producer and actor) plays an Indian spy. This is so sure that the military green suits him well . This is probably the first Bollywood film that looks closely at India’s political involvement outside of its own shores.
The film doesn’t delve into strong connections between Tamil Nadu mainstream politicians and the banned militant outfit either, so I am not sure exactly what the rag-tag groups in Chennai have been protesting against this film about—that the LTTE killed Rajiv Gandhi? They should be arguing with the Supreme Court.
Santosh Sivan’s The Terrorist (1998) on the same tragedy was a more personal film, a cinematographer’s take. This is a researcher’s delight. The ultimate baap of this genre is Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991). Through inferences and strong evidences, using classified documents, it categorically proved to regular public the CIA’s role in the death of its much loved US President. It shook up America.
This film doesn’t conclusively establish a new angle or fresh motive behind Rajiv Gandhi’s death, besides merely pointing towards western corporate interests. But it makes you search deeper. It’s been over 22 years since. Who the hell gained so much from Rajiv’s assassination? The LTTE is practically defunct now. After the film, we sat and discussed these things for a couple of hours. I’ve bookmarked a few articles on the web already, can’t remember the last time a Bollywood film made me do that.
rating :4/5
