Not every movie touches your
heart and few those touch are really made with good intention and spirit. The
makers are totally clear about what they want to showcase in the 120-150
minutes and ensure that when the audience leave the theatre, there is some
change in their thought process and they start accepting life or situations of
life more strongly and positively rather than complaining about the same stuff
incessantly. One such movie is “Mulk”. The impact that the movie can leave upon
the people of India can be very incredible if people take away the message and
consider it to be free of agenda and politics.
Mulk is very beautifully made and
speaks what it intends to very simply without complicating the narrative like
in Shahid. The first half of the movie is very slow where basically the
director focuses on showing how this Muslim family is friends with Hindus in
their locality and there is no ill-thoughts among them except little distance
between ladies where they restrain from eating at a Muslim’s house due to
different eating habits. Rest, everything is good. Then movie also shows us
that this Muslim family headed by Rishi Kapoor has also accepted a Hindi girl
very simply as their daughter-in-law. This role is being played very
beautifully by Taapsee Pannu.
The second half paces into the
subject which this movie wanted to portray right from the 1st scene
where one of the young boys in this Muslim family is been proved as terrorist
and now as per prejudice and judgmental attitude of people, they have termed
the whole family as terrorist and sided almost the whole Muslim community. The
same Hindu people who enjoyed and danced with this family labels them as
terrorists and asks them to go to Pakistan. And now the courtroom scenes begin
where Rishi Kapoor and Taapsee Pannu throws some very great dialogues. Though
Taapsee struggling little bit in big monologues but the scenes are very
effective and speaks very well what they wished just like in Pink.
Overall, the movie is a very good
attempt at delivering a social message with good content without becoming too
preachy and becoming one-sided with Muslims. It all looks genuine which becomes
very difficult when movies are made on such topics. I give this movie 3.5 stars
out of 5.
Thanks.
