Still needs some explanations and more clarity . it is a very sensitive subject. Should be handle carefully
Undertrial a movie on taboo topic
Review by Yasir Junejo
Some time we experience such happenings about which we can
not even imagine. Such a type of strong elements if common man hears he would
be shocked. The subjects of these stories are prohibited to talk in public and
they remain untouchable in our society. But these subjects are serious and have
direct impact on our life.
Often such tragedy finds its way in art, literature and
cinema.
Such a shocking and finger biting a real story is presented
through a Bollywood movie UNDERTRIAL released in 2007. Directed by Aziz Khan,
produced and written by Nazim Hassan Rizvi, this movie is a tale of under trial
prisoner at the jail. He has been blamed for raping his three daughters for 8
years and issuing them death threats.
“Undertrial” is representing our social conditions. One can find reports in media about father
abusing his own children. This movie interprets the same thing but with a
different dimension.
Few other movies have been produced on this sensitive
subject but they did not touch the main point so comprehensively. This is made
on real story while others are fiction based; therefore “UNDERTRIAL” is the
best among them. It has many turns, many complexities interrelating parts of
this story hit like hammer for which we are unknown. People react aggressively,
particularly in eastern society about such cases, as film suggests because they
do not know both sides of coin. This point is mainly focused in this film.
Rajpal Yadav has played role of Sagar Hussain, the alleged
father in this movie. The versatile actor does not feel complexity for any role
but this would have been difficult for him too. However he did his job quite
well. Kadar Khan has performed energetic role of lawyer, who defends the accused
father
The scene which is essence of the movie when Mukesh offers
Rajpal (the father) tea and he starts crying and Mukesh inquires why he was
crying, Rajpal bursts out and says “jab se pakra gaya hun tab se logon ne sirf
mujhe mara hi hai, kisi ne laton se mara, aur kisi ne baton se, baqi jo bache
unhone nazron se maar maar k mery badan ko adhmara kardala hai”.
This film gives us message some people stop resisting to
weakness and move on wrong path in the life, trying to get high position in
society by hook or crook. Even at cost of losing self-respect and dear ones.
The film ends positively, the man gets free but it stings
you like needle when jailor ask Rajpal where would you go now the depressed man
sadly replies “I don’t know where the way takes me ”.
Over all UNDERTRIAL is a brilliant touching crime drama
movie that takes the complete attention that impacts in viewers mind for long
time, it could not earn good place on box office but the film has the merits to
rise with positive feedback.

UNDERTRIAL: A shot of real life
There
are many stories that happen in our lives, at the moment; but we could not even
imagine about them, which have such type of strong elements that if common man
hears, his mind would be shocked and shrink. The subject of those stories are
prohibited to talk on in public and they remain untouchable in our society but
those are very much serious and directly impacting on our social life.
And more
often the tragedy is making these stories publicize through art, literature and
cinema is about negligible, the only reason behind it is the lack of tolerance
to acknowledge the things that peel off imposed social shades and reveals
hidden circumstances of our social and personal life.
Such a
shocking and finger biting a real life based story is presented through a
Bollywood crime drama movie UNDERTRIAL released on 9th February
2007. Directed by Aziz khan, produced and written by Nazim Hassan Rizvi
“UNDERTRIAL” is a tale of under trial
prisoner at the jail, he has been blamed for raping his 3 daughters for
8 years and threating them for death.
“UNDERTRIAL”
is representing our social conditions in which we are suffering till today, the
movie was released in 2007 but yet defining subject on which it is based on,
whatever we get reported in daily newspapers that father has abused his own
children, this movie interprets the same thing but with a different dimension.
Few
other movies have been produced on this sensitive subject but they could not
completely touch the main point likewise; Avin brown’s “ Just ask my children”,
Ashoka handagama’s “Aksharaya”, “Matar bhomi”, “Mommie dearest”, which this
movie ties on this. This is made on real based story while others are fiction
based, therefore “UNDERTRIAL” is best among them.
Under-trial
move has many bends and turns since it’s based on true life incident which
confuse someone completely at the turn of events, the many complexly
interrelating parts of this story hits like hammer about which are unknown to
us. People react aggressively in eastern society about such cases even they do
not know both sides of coin. This point is mainly focused in this film.
Rajpal
Yadav has played Sagar Hussain the alleged father in this movie, though the
versatile actor like Rajpal Yadav does not feel complexity for any role but
this would have been evenly difficult for him too, despite he has done it quite
well.
Monica
Castelino Sagar’s wife has also managed the character very well but left some
leakages in the trunk, she goes over the top in some scenes, you can’t be
failed to see she is performing a role which requires an actor to do. She is
excellent in a role of various ages: young, middle and old.
Kadar
khan has performed energetic role of lawyer, who fights for accused father and
even a good will director Aziz khan could not keep a good hand on storyline and
misleads the track at many points in the movie.
The cinematographer
has not earned enough on his name, if it would have made a realistic
photography, it could make movie master piece, these would be put further but
slight detail.
Any
film that boasts of a hard-hitting and compelling story ought to be handled with
equal conviction. Although the initial portions of UNDERTRIAL aren't
captivating, primarily because the film gives more-than- required footage to
the jail inmates and assorted characters, a few moments between Rajpal Yadav
and Mukesh Tiwari are interesting nonetheless.
The
scene which is essence of the movie and I like a lot is when Mukesh offers
Rajpal tea and he starts crying and Mukesh asks why you are crying, Rajpal
bursts out and say “jab se pakra gaya hun tab se logon ne sirf mujhe mara hi
hai, kisi ne laton se mara, aur kisi ne baton se, baqi jo bache unhone nazron
se maar maar k mery badan ko adhmara kardala hai”
This
film gives us a message some people stop resisting to weakness and moves on
wrong path in life, trying to get reputation and high position in society by
hook or crook. Even at cost of losing self-respect and dear ones for your own
luxury life!
The
film ends positively, the man gets free but it stings you like needle when
jailor ask Rajpal where would you go now the depressed man sadly replies “I
don’t know where the way takes me ”.
Over
all UNDERTRIAL is a brilliant touching crime drama movie that takes the
complete attention that impacts in viewers mind for long time, it could not
earn good place on box office but the film has the merits to rise with positive
feedback.
Old piece and comments
If this movie was released in 2007, what is relevance of its review today in 2015? Media writing should be current and should have some relevance to the current, present situation.
Compare and contrast with other movies made on this subject/topic
