Satyagraha is a Bollywood flick directed by Prakash Jha, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai. The movie revolves around two friends – Ajay Devgn and Indraneil Sengupta, who are very different from each other in terms of personalities. Indraneil is like his father who believes in working for the country and bringing in change in the political system of the nation where as Ajay Devgn is business minded and believes in making quick money. Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Indraneil father and is a teacher who is very depressed with the indian political system & wants to do something for everyone in his gaon (village). Amrita Rao is Amitabh Bachchan’s daughter-in-law and Ajay Devgans sister-in-law. Arjun Rampal is just there for appearance, just like Amrita Rao and doesn’t have any major role to play. Kareena is a journalist who falls in love with Ajay Devgn eventually. The funny part is, in between all the hush h
What is the take home from this movie, you may ask, after reading the synopsis, I am sure you’ve got a gist of what the movie is all about.
Now let me list down the various, expressions and relationships the characters of this movie have portrayed and shared.
2. Go through a treacherous health condition – expressing pain
3. And have an unknown friend sharing the same pain – sense of security (I am not the only one)
4. Coming in terms with the fact that you are going to die soon – sense of fear
5. Preparing the list of to-do things with an unknown friend before kicking the bucket – sense of excitement
6. Practically attaining goals from the to do list – sense of achievement
7. Pondering about what happens when a person dies – sense of thinking beyond the horizon (every person has his or her version of defining horizon, for me it’s death, horizon is defined as the line where sky meets the earth and nobody knows what lies beyond that line, it can be beautiful or ugly but the gate definitely seems beautiful, so its keeps you curious to know what lies ahead of it)
8. Fighting with your loved one – sense of care
9. Realizing and accepting ones mistake – sense of being more humane
10. Treating an employee/person as a son/friend – shows a person’s character – coz for him no one is big or small, everyone deserves the same treatment
11. Being there for someone even after their death, trying to complete their partially fulfilled wishes – sense of being generous
12. Laugh out till you cry, even when you are counting your last breath –sense of living every moment of life
I don’t know how many of these expressions or bonds have I felt or shared, but I know that every person will go through this feeling at some point of their life, this movie actually teaches us to live life before dying.
I personally believe that one should experience everything once in his/her life, good or bad, doesn’t matter; coz at the end when you die you would not regret that you never lived.
More to come, Happy Reading!!!
