Nayak

'Awesome....' There should be simply one word, which makes it clear. But can't resist myself from being elaborate!!! People say one have lots of shades in his/her character, fewer said - 'If one's a public figure, then you are the most neglected character in the society'. Readers may feel confused. Don't be. Just feel the misery & anger of one who's popular and common people want to know everything about him. There is no so called private thing he can have. This burnt him so much and the aftermath is: he tends to hide his all things from everyone. This process got his entire effort and the work for which he is famous tends to loose focus. In the way to keep secrets, often the person himself forgot those very own & inner things.

Here, train journey implies the must have life long journey as a human being. Often these persons open up their very inner most feelings-thoughts-memories to someone. But only when he/she is assured of something: 'Again the secrecy of these things'.

In Nayak, Sharmila plays that kind of character who can keep secrets like a secret, but only with healthy warmth personal touch. This movie was framed in late 60's, but the thought process behind it, eternal. There are endless thing to describe this movie. You have to watch it, because it's journey of a lifetime for everyone. It was nominated for many international awards, as Ray & Uttam Kumar both gave their best possible effort here. 9 out of 10.
