What a Great Movie Mr Benegal has made. It has been years for sure I have experienced such a great classic Hindi Movie and it will be in memory for years. Each and every minute of this movie is excellently crafted, superb performance from every single cast, be it the the main characters of Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Rao or select and super-impact appearances of Ila Arun, Divya Dutta, Yashpal Sharma and others. All delivered their career best performance I think. Multiple story plots based in a simple today's village near Satna (Central MP! could easily associate with), awesome music with few nice soft numbers, crisp dialogues in local dialects, bone tickling hilarious from start to end, human emotions and yet delivering some important social points...and the latter is so subtle and well weaved into the storyline...a mixture of all this probably puts it par excellence! Reminds me of Hari Bhari from the same director 8 years back....but the social message he tried to convey was way too heavy for many. A friend of mine, whom I had recommended that (as a prank, of course!) is still pulling his hair and waiting eagerly to settle the score but yet to find something which can beat Hari-Bhari.I am sure this is one of the best work of Shyam Benegal. And unlike HariBhari this time it is going to appeal the masses. Elite and Common both.
In short...this is the "RAAG-DARBARI" of celluloid! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

By the way I do see many hits ppl searching for Satna and Sajjanpur. As now I am a proud "viewer" of this one two times (very rare!), also noted the railways station. It is Jaitwar. A little search shows it is in Katni - Manikpur line and nearest main rly station is Satna. Also in movie it looked real..not a set.
