I just loved it. It beats me as to why most people I meet, hear, converse with about it seem to refute it.
At a point when a communal war seemed like the definite scene to follow, the film took an unexpected turn by bringing in the Kala Bandar.
Has anyone ever dealt with the issue of communism in a more innovative way? The Kala Bandar in the film is symbolic to not just myths - a very crucial ingredient of any culture but also the solution, culmination to the very arbid communistic issues that crop up.
In the current issue of the magazine Tehelka, Satyendra Das, head priest of Ramjanambhoomi with reference to the Ram temple said, "The demolition of the Babri Masjid has brought misery to Ram Lalla (Ram's Idol). When the Babri Masjid stood it was protected from the sun and rains. Now rain water flows through its temporary roof. When the Babri Masjid stood, Lord Ram was draped in finery. Today it stands like a beggar in rags. The Muslims of Ayodhya stitch clothes and make garlands for our idols. If theses Muslims were evil they could easily slip in a bomb in the firecrackers they supply for our festivals. Vo satya roop mein Ayothyavasi hain."
This quote gives justice to the underlying theme of the film.
I think Mr. rakesh Omprakash Mehra deserves an applause.
