Madras Cafe- A Review
Men – RAW or RIPE – all the same – Failures!
Well folks for the first time in my life I think I could not say that ‘Yes, Team A is right’ or ‘Yes, Team B is wrong’…meaning I could not identify who is the hero team or villain team in this film!
The film is about the famous human bomb assassination in the history of this world – which took place in India (sometimes India also does things that comes..and stays at Number One position ..for a long time). The film starts with showing how the revolutionaries evolve….how they are created by callous, careless Administrative bodies and when they take a deadly form…the same Admin bodies half wake up and seek help from the defense and other sources. The soldiers unnecessarily get killed one after the other – and why?! Because the clueless, brainless nincompoops do not know how to rule the state/ country…well this is what I concluded after watching this film!
The fact that the civilians are killed for no fault of theirs but because they happen to belong to some religious/ social sect is simply ridiculous! But of course the children born to such families during these times and those who witness the brutal killings of their own kith and kin…what else does one expect them to become? Being terrorized since Day One – they too become terrorists! Self defense is a reflex action and so they form their own armies and create ruckus into the surroundings.
And what is the Admin body doing when children are kidnapped and taken for training to load guns, shoot, hurl grenades? They are asleep as usual I guess. And then of course their is greed! Senior officials are more interested to make money and sleep with some fair skinned teenager female ! Wow – what a ‘Character dhila hai’ countrymen we have…small wonder why this song became a super-duper hit among Indians!
You see folks, ‘…when character is gone, everything is gone’ – thus everything got lost in this film – terrorists, Ministers, Govt. Officers…all met with the same kind of death! What a shame!
