Storyville: India's Daughter (2015)
One of the best documentaries ever made !!!
Going by so much outrage against it in India and subsequent banning of this documentary by the Indian govt., I started watching this expecting to see something offensive about the brutal gang rape incident or something offensive against the country.
But as it went on, I was fully mesmerized by complete portrayal of truth and reality encompassing most relevant and notable people. This is one of the most terrific and marvelous pieces of documentary ever created.
It really amazes me how BBC comes out with such realistic works that even the local media houses fail to capture.
The best part of the whole documentary is the true depiction of one of the victims and the way director captured him with zoomed visuals focusing on his body movements and portraying the true mindset of a criminal.
I hope this documentary stays on the internet so that willing Indian adult citizens can watch it.
Once again, there is nothing offensive in this documentary against the victim, her family or to the country. It is just a realistic piece of work that Indian govt. should support than to ban it. I can't understand that if parents of the victim supported this documentary to such an extent than why should the govt. be so worried about.
Hats off and salute to Leslee Udwin and her team. Kudos to the BBC !
Kevi Rite Jaish (2012)
Absolutely amazing, 10/10
It all the started with a huge buzz on social media. Trailer of The 1st urban Gujarati film rocked the viewers with posh production, shooting and camera work. But many had doubts regarding the content of the movie.
After watching the 1st day 1st show of Kevi Rite Jaish, I must say it has set a benchmark for not only Gujarati films but for the whole Indian film industry. Its the movie of the year 2012.
Splendid performances from all prominent actors particularly Divyang, Veronica, Kenneth & Anang Desai, Rakesh Bedi & Abhinay Banker. KRJ is a perfect blend of humour, emotions, satire & drama. From tip to toe its direction is marvelous. Best part of KRJ is its very close to reality and makes you relate to the characters.
Shooting at locations of Ahmedabad is magnificent. Another most brilliant part of the movie is its stunning soundtrack. Each and every song is sheer beauty. No wonder whole audience in the theatre was chanting Pankhida after the end of the movie.
Veronica Gautum is stunningly impressive and has the potential to go miles far. Deeply impressed with Abhinay Banker as well.
Based on many true stories, Kevi Rite Jaish is an eye-opener for many desperate blind US aspirants. I will put it in the category of Swades class of Indian movies. A must must must watch for all the gujaratis !!! Hope with the subtitles it soon spreads all over India and enthralls wider audience. Hope this paves way for plethora of Gujarati movies and the Gujarati film industry gets back on roll.
Kudos to the whole crew of Kevi Rite Jaish. Hats off to Abhishek Jain. Waiting for more such marvels !
