Vaastu Saap Film Review
A film loaded with loads of messages!
Watch the film to understand utilization of the 5 elements – air, water, earth, fire and ether – most importantly to handle individuals who are made of all the 5 elements.
This film is all about Human Resource Management! Also the fact that it is not so easy to get over traumas and how people suffer from guilt and waste their lives as well as lives of others who are associated with them.
Story Line-
An ex-Army officer meets with a road accident while he was driving and in this mishap both his brother-in-law and nephew die. His sister goes mad, admitted in the asylum then re-hab for a period of around 7 years and then he gets her home. His wife and his siter share a love-hate relationship which causes a lot of discord in the home environment. To avoid all this, the Army Officer (played by Abir) often gets drowned in alcohol – more so because he suffers from guilt. They have a son but he is sent away to the hostel because the wife (Raima) feels that her sis-in-law is too interfering in his matters.
He then invites a feng-shui consultant along with his business associate (Timir). Timir was an ex-expert-gunman – who made guns and weapons and supplied to terrorists. After being jailed, he had picked up Feng-shui and vaastu shastra as his hobby and became an associate with Parambrata.
They visit their house and place certain feng-shui objects around. Parambrata was known to Raima – they had met for a very brief period when her husband had met with the accident.
While listening to their story, parambrata does more of a HR consultant’s job than a conventional vastu-expert! He counsels the sister to leave them and have a life f her own as her sadness & her presence would always remind her brother of his guilt and he will not be able to live a normal life with his wife and child.
The wife (Raima) was suffering from an illusion that she loved Parambrata – maybe because of lack of her husband’s attention and also because she had met him at a very weak moment of her life. Parambrata removes the things that reminded her of him and makes her understand her responsibility towards her husband and child.
In the end, it is shown that some changes did take place in the house – Husband Abir gets jealous and possessive about his wife (symptoms of love) who had almost become non-existent for him, sister decides to take up the job of a head-mistress in an orphanage!
So basically Parambrata was a good HR manager –
- he made an ex-criminal his partner (such people should be given a second chance),
- he gave the sister a job in an orphanage,
- he made room for a wife in her husband’s heart,
- the child would not have to live in the hostel but would live at home with his parents,
- Raima would get the pleasure of being a fulfilled & loved wife and a mother – which she deserved.
- Abir will not drown himself in alcohol much (hopefully) with feeling lesser pangs of guilt in absence of sister.
