Chingaari

I saw the movie yesterday night and i must admit i am not over the shock yet. One could but a night with a prostitute for 1 Rs and then one finds Ila ( Didi )taking three tenners from a customer, the postman reading a letter without address, characters coming in moving out without much reason... though there are clear indications that this movie has a single purpose..Get a national award for Sushmita Sen..and probably send the movie to foreign film festivals..portray India in the manner which no longer exists..and get some more awards.. Sushmita Sen shout screams over acts throws her child around and throws expletives at her ( it helps that the kid is her own adopted child ) ... How can a filmmaker spend so much of money and effort in such a movie ?? Any answers ... (20 February 2006)
