Udaan

Movies which have been a slight offbeat from the regular ones, have always captivated the hearts of audience in more than one way. The way movies have started being made in India recently, has changed the visage of Indian Cinema, bringing good news for real movie lovers to experience the real cinema rather than just getting lured towards the regular chick-flicks which costs crores, not-even-guaranteeing to be a box-office hit.

One such recent movie is Udaan, that depicts the dogmatic endurance by a teenager which gradually dissolves into an infiltration of his own dreams and an ambition to become a writer, coerced him to lead a life on his terms. The movie also touch based upon the small kid who is extremely innocent and facing similar challenges as his brother, for whom every heart drops a tear of sympathy. Emotions soared high, and conveyed explicably in some parts - with no words uttered. Intensity of the acting reached a level where dialogs could be heard from the eyes and the body language of the protagonist. The maturity level which one attains through the events that can occur in one’s life cannot be articulated by the age factor. Once attained, it gives clarity of what one wants to make of his life and really needs to cut through all the barriers, as he moves on to live this vision of his life. Though the contemplation of the movie, surely can bring in more words than written in this blog, but I have sure highlighted the reasons for the movie being a – “Must GO for”.

My verdict of the movie is – one of the best made movies, which deserve a huge round of applause for the director, the writer, the cinematographer, and the actors who pulled out the very essence of the movie. In today’s society, the very existence of stubbornness and severity amongst parents in a child’s upbringing, builds in rage and anxiety amongst the teenagers, resulting in the disquiet family atmosphere and that is when drastic steps are adventured. The touchy subject of a parent child relation has been brought out beautifully by the movie makers where each dialog and expression uttered by the protagonist stirred the emotion in one’s heart and ached for him, thereby perfecting the character and doing justice to the role.
