Nil Battey Sannata – Film Review

Nil Battey Sannata – Film Review

A selfless lover can be the best motivator!

A motivational film where a mother motivates her daughter to do something worthwhile in life.

The mother is just a ‘kaam wali bai’(maid, helper) plus she does many other kinds of odd jobs so that she can educate her daughter to become something – either a doctor or engineer!

But the daughter was least interested in studies! She had befriended couple of weak students of her class and all they rather loved it when the teacher sent them out of the class as punishment.

She got poor grades and she was more interested to watch TV and paste the pictures of her favourite actors! Her mother was ambitious to see her daughter do something much better than her at least.

When she asks her daughter as to what she wants to become in future, she replied that she wanted to become a governess or nanny because they pay well! This shocked her mother and circumstances were then created in such a manner that the daughter slowly and gradually becomes interested in studies, makes friends with intelligent students of the class – plus even her weak friends got interested in studies!

She later hacks the IAS examination!

Movie showed the power of positive motivation and also the fact that in order to motivate someone, you need not be some Oxford pass out but just plain simple – even less educated person – but with a heart full of love and a firm belief that hard work and patience will definitely show results!

*the word Nil is zero, battey – divided by and sannata is again nothing or zero . so the answer ‘become nothing’ or ‘become zero, the infinite’.
