To begin with, hats off to everyone associated with this movie. Every bit of it is simply amazing. The picture showcases various aspects of life after major tragedy and how life moves on from that point onwards.
This blog is really written for exemplary screen play and characters chosen and played in the movie.
I am no movie critic but this movie is having ever lasting impact on me. I am putting across this blog based on individual character and ranking them based on moments or scenes which touched me the most.
Irrfan Khan: Even downtrodden person has desires was put on screen with ease by this man. All of us do have desires and when humiliated we do take various measures to mitigate it by doing something even worse. But realization of mistakes and overcoming them is no human task. His best scene was chasing of taxi on his cycle. He exerted his effort cycling without any effort for which I rate him sixth.
Soha Ali Khan: Life of journalist could not be portrayed better. She goes through the hardship which journalists’ pour out on others for TRP. She has acted wonderfully and transformation from hardcore journalist to emotional human being could not have been showcased better. Her best scene was coming from board room to hospital searching for her fiancé. Transformation was gracious and fetches her fifth position.
Kay Kay: Hate, unconditional hate on few things or some people is inherent within everyone. Specious and Irrational branding on few things won’t burn out easily. It was depicted by Kay Kay’s character. Best scene was when he bluff’s about his name later to be caught in the same scene. His guilt gives him fourth place.
Paresh Rawal: What can I say about him? Best performer in any given role. His role of senior constable has everlasting impression. Witty yet cut-throat performance leaves us wanting more. Best scene is when he realizes of lost time and pitiful life lead till day of retirement on side walk. Third place is bit low for this master.
Anonymous constable: I am not sure about this particular actor. But he has overcame many well known faces with sheer performance. He has bought the better of Paresh Rawal both comically and hardheartedly. Crying in loo gets him second place.
Madhavan: He wins first place. I see fear in him the way normal person does after catastrophe. But I liked his desi attitude very much and seeing his reflection on display glass to overcome his ideology of not buying a car fetched him first place.
Best review about the movie I read was here http://withoutgivingthemovieaway.com/main/mumbai-meri-jaan-review/
Accountability
Sounds economics but don’t be fooled…
I always remember that day, it was a Tuesday afternoon and I was in-charge of class. Being in a crazy school like mine and taking responsibility of class discipline was no joke. My friends were not in best of conduct that day. Class was chaotic.
The black board where I was to report roguish boys’ names was empty.
Listening to cacophony, lecture SMD (forgot his full name) came promptly and then I received one tight slap…
Never before did I get beaten for disciplinary cause. But this was different. I was not the person shouting or yelling in the class but still I received one on my face.
SMD replied “This boy is being slapped not for his misdemeanor but for lack of accountability.”
For the few who are wondering what it means, here you go. It meant that black board was clean even with class was fully muddled. I was beaten up for this lack of accountability.
Most of us lack accountability which has lead to catastrophic eventuality.
If coast guards were accountable, nobody could have come through sea route.
If intelligence were accountable, they would not have shown apathy towards the tip-off.
If our police department were accountable, they would not be fighting AK-47 with age old Indian rifle.
If only politicians were accountable, they would have used better phrases to describe the incident.
If only terror outfits were accountable, they would know “Eye for eye would leaves entire world blind”
If only I, you all of us were accountable, we would have helped needy rather than blabber in a blog this way.
Be accountable in your work, towards your family or country and be the part of a new revolution all over again.
