Marathi film: Samaantar

Of late, the wife and I have taken to watching Marathi movies in a big way. We loved the recent Atul Kulkarni starrer Natrang and the superb Harischandrachi Factory and some other older ones. So we decided to rent Samaantar.

Now, I don’t want to classify or bracket this movie as an art-house one. It was more than that. But I am still unclear about the precise topic of the film. Was it about a man who rose from the ashes (almost literally) to become successful and lead a full life? Or was it about a man who lived his life to recover his sense of family and then decided that he wanted to end it on his terms. Not mercy killing, not euthanasia, but death by choice. Suicide.

Advt.

Watching Teesri Manzil. Great to see a movie that has a story, great songs. Brings back memories of childhood summers... permalink 2012/02/05
Strange thing about this #IPL bidding. Winning bidders are happy about having spent more. Hm. Odd sort of competition! permalink 2012/02/04
Rajiv Shukla looks decidedly bored at having to sit through the auction. Not to mention he's curt! He needs Red Bull, I think! permalink 2012/02/04
