Saare Jahaan Se Mehnga...

The film was a pleasant break from the usual movie plots.

The film revolves around inflation and all its consequences that hit an ordinary family without letting such a serious topic weigh on the viewer. There was enough humour to make it an enjoyable film.

The only downfall that really ruined the film for me was the part of Gopal, which seemed out of place in such a film. I can understand that perhaps a film based only on inflation could be heavy going and that adding a love story would help it flow more easily. However, the actor himself had no screen presence and his character was only that of a spineless, useless man, too selfish to realize the struggles his family is facing.

Despite all this, I highly recommend giving Saare jahaan se mehnga a watch as it presents a change from many films out there!
