Do Dooni Char-The Movie

Watched the movie n loved it..!!! A very sweet and simple movie on the middle class life in India..,the focal points of the movie are : everyday monetary struggles of middle class, the growing consumerism in society, the impatient youth, conflict of morals in volatile situations, fake vanity, Generation Gap, Parental love and concern and power of dreams. Clearly, movie embodies a gamut of emotions. For me, the USP of the movie was, identification with certain scenes, characters, feelings and that Old Bajaj Scooter categorically symbolic of middle class. Sitting here in US, this movie took me on a nostalgic trip ranging from my native town to lanes of Delhi. .This movie represents the story of millions of households in India who desire to take their social status a level higher but are stuck in same old paying job and this task seems unattainable. Though, with the inception of IT culture in India, social fabric has changed a lot. But, still those, who have their children yet to grow up to take a fat IT/BPO paying job go through the emotions which are very aptly depicted in movie. I always believe that money is not the end destination but it does serve as one of the means for the desired end - happiness..With money in your wallet lot of things ease out..and a certain constant pressure is taken away..It does give you a certain power to exercise your choices but yes no denying, there is no shortcut to success/money and it doesn't come that easily...:)
In the end I would just say about this movie that it is very real and very appealing for people who are grounded and still uphold their so called "middle class" values!!! This strata of societal section definitely have " life n emotions" even if a certain "lifestyle" is missing :)
