Hello and welcome back everyone!
With exmas of some boards over and college semesters being in may, I guess many of you would be planning your weekend movie. Why not Hichki! Well, that's a good new movie to watch. Read on to know more...
It’s impossible that you being a kid born in early 1990s do
not know the names of heroines like Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta, Madhuri
Dixit, Karishma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Kajol. And, there are many amongst you
who would have written their names as Favourite actress in Slam books. And, so,
when these stars – who would always remain evergreen and vibrant – make a
comeback, it becomes hard not to make time to catch up with their movies.
Hichki – is a film based on the life and place in society of
a person affected by Tourette syndrome. Rani Mukherjee – one of my favourite
actresses makes a grand comeback with this film. Her acting skills – which I
believe only got better with experience is reflected in the way she perfectly
slipped into the demeanour of a person who has Tourette. And, the confidence she exhibits in her conduct
gives out a clear message to the entire society – differences in abilities
doesn’t really matter, what matters is acceptance and the way we carry or learn
to carry ourselves amongst our fellow people. Combating obstacles imposed by
her condition – she battles till the end against making a compromise on grounds
of her syndrome and lands up her dream job of being a teacher. Although the job
poses immense challenges to her – both in terms of the students she’d teach who
are ‘different’ from the rest of the pupils of the school and whether she would
be able to sustain her job by making a class of students pass their exams who
are casted as failures. Why, how and where they are different - for answers to these you would need to watch the movie. And, this story shows how in the end – she is not only able
to make them pass, rather, a few of them score above 90% marks as well with one
among them being the topper. This is a story of how a person – regarded as
disabled sets and believes a term for her life – differently abled. This story
reflects on how the society in general, despite being perfect in set grounds
and parameters, is plagued by ‘ Tourette Syndrome ‘ within. This story also
delves into the schooling system wherein theoretical emphasis and separate
classification of subjects cripple student’s understanding and fail them in
real life where they are faced with integrated problems – which are usually not
classified subject-wise. It also speaks of how we accustom ourselves to blame
our circumstances as reasons for our failures, instead of taking bold and
concrete steps to solve them once and
for all. It tells a story of experiencing education and not merely studying for
marks. It tells the story of a real teacher, who can make a difference in the
lives of her students and for whom – every student is a unique gem in real and every
exam of her students is actually her own exam. Indeed we lack such a
dedication. And, this role and the message were clearly enacted in the film by
our leading lady – Rani Mukherjee and a group of young and talented actors and
actresses who played the role of her students. With no unnecessary dragging and
pauses, this was a concrete and well-written story worth watching. The filmography
was alright, but the direction, excellent screenplay and acting is something to
look for, apart from the heart-felt message it gives. The songs have a fresh lease
to it which gels really well with the storyline and adds to the glamour of the
story. Overall, it’s a great movie to watch and everyone especially those
related to schools should go for it.
