Review :

A hard hitting commentary about the caste system

This movies portrays the mindset of the people living in the countryside of India.This movie depicts the fountains of hope and optimism that would one day bring back life to the then Indian society which was shackled by the caste structure. On the one hand we have a guru(teacher) who wants to break out of the rigid caste system,but fears that he may annoy the other higher castes. In the end this torch is picked up by one of his ex students who defies society and speaks out against the rigid caste system.

It was a pretty hard hitting movie.The roles were acted out to perfection. The movie was done quite well,right from the title to the rustic setting. But i feel the movie is not everyones cup of tea.If you plan to watch a light movie this is definitely not for you. Overall it is an amazing piece of parallel cinema
