Toofan Aur Deeya

"Toofan Aur Deeya" is the story of a 12-year-ol boy who fends his sister going blind and her ailing fiance against all odds. The title is metaphorical to the boy who stands for a diya (lamp) which lights against all the storms represented by the hardship he faces. Aside the numerous songs which could have been trimmed, the drama moves meticulously keeping the curiosity alive. The dialogues delivery of the protagonists are a bit stilted but don't dissapoint either. K. Date gives a remarkable performance as the saint. It's a film from the school of V. Shantaram, with the direction given by his son, carrying the same charm carried by the films directed by Shantaram.

Rating: 3 stars out of 4
