India unplugged

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

If Rock On, Life in a Metro and Mumbai Meri Jaan were about showcasing contemporary urban India, Shyam Benegal’s Welcome to Sajjanpur does a great job of showcasing the rural face of the Indian coin. Benegal’s portrait of the friendly neighbourhood village of Sajjanpur is as confident and chirpy as the urban folk, albeit in a charming sort of a way. No one gets a shot at histrionics but neither are they called for in this elegant yet punchy script.

Mahadev (Shreyas Talpade) is a literate exception in the largely illiterate Sajjanpur, and while aspiring to be a writer he ekes out an income by writing and reading letters for the villagers. He falls for his childhood crush Kamla (Amrita Rao), when she approaches Mahadev to write to her husband who’s been away in Mumbai for the past four years. Mahadev tries to manipulate the letters to get Kamla to fall for him but the consequences spiral out of hand.

With some sprightly performances (Ila Arun is quite a riot as the superstitious Mausi, Ravi Kishan is adorable as the love struck compounder, and Yashpal Sharma is the right mix of aggression and menace as the politician) the movie does manage to touch a chord. It does not boast of a big setting or a stellar cast, but this is a film with the soul of a street play and full of heart. Go see it and discover Bharat again.
