CRITIC'S REVIEW
THE EMERGENCE OF BHANDARKAR
INDU SARKAR STORY: Indu’s husband, a administration
employee, believes in using the state of disaster to advance his career, but a
moral and ideological discrepancy sets her on a own path.
INDU SARKAR REVIEW: Madhur Bhandarkar seems to be enchanting
calculated baby steps back to the time when he insisted on telling real story
as opposed to manufacture superficial subjects seem real.
To this end, he even breaks with his usual modus operandi of
attacking and “unmasking” a particular industry and roots Indu’s (Kirti
Kulhari) fictitious tale in the factual setting of the state of Emergency that
the state was shrouded in from 1975 to 1977.
Indu, an withdrawn orphan who stutters, finds a companion in
Navin Sarkar (Tota Roy Chowdhury), who is the first person to look beyond her
speech obstacle and ask her what she wants from life. She only finds the answer
to his problem after their wedding, when she sees him in cahoots with the
ministers who bend the rules to benefit from the Emergency. The moral mystery
pushes her into a life of rebellion and forces her to fraction with her
hard-earned normalcy.
The movie present a fairly irregular account of the 19
months of Emergency in hurried montages. The party leaders are overtly
villainous and members of the disobedient Himmat India Sangathan (including
Indu) are overwhelmingly righteous; Bhandarkar fails to achieve political
neutrality. Another issue is the film’s dialogue by Sanjay Chhel; some unbelievable
lines get lost in throwaway scenes and clichés like, "gareebon ko jeene ka
haq nahi hai?" take prominence. middle through the movie, when you’re just
getting used to the pace, a surprise qawwali jump at you and throws you off.
However, Indu Sarkar is at its best when it focuses on its
protagonist's emotional struggles and dilemmas, send-off the politics behind.
Indu and Navin’s story by itself is far more palatable than the elaborate following
schemes surrounding them. Kirti Kulhari shoulders the responsibility of the
central role with a lot of earnestness and keep you interested. Tota Roy
Chowdhury make for a high-quality foil to Indu.
