Movie Review: Yeh Mera India

'Yeh Mera India' highlights various problems of the Indian society. The movie has projected good values, which are in the veins of Indians but not relied upon by the society. The film is about the Indians and the hidden treasures inside them.

The good values which should be incorporated but we have forgotten them and this is the time when we should bring those good values out of us. We should take the advantage of these values as much as possible.

Cast:The film brings back the old memories of N Chandra films like 'Tezab', 'Ankush', 'Kagaar', 'Tejaswini', 'Narsimha' and 'Pratighaat'.

The movie stars of this movie are Anupam Kher, Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas, Milind Gunaji, Rajit Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav and Sarika among others.

Theme: Every night we go home and switch on the news channel, to find headlines full of violence, atrocities and we wonder how this world keeps moving in spite of so much of multi layered bias which is actually the root cause of all this.

It is an attempt to explore the real stories behind these headlines.



These stories deal with racial bias, communal bias, caste bias, class bias, gender bias, lingual bias & immigrant bias that plaque the today's society & the outcome is startling.

It is the human ability to redeem themselves at any given moment which reveals that behind every bad news there is good news.

Story line: It is a story of one day in the life of 12 people from different strata of Mumbai city which is a melting pot of cultures.

They all start the day with a goal in mind but surprisingly end up achieving exactly the opposite, giving it a feel of Greek tragedy of futile human efforts in front of the inevitable destiny.

However, in 'Yeh Mera India' it is more of a reversal of fortune from bad to good than from good to bad.

Chandra has managed to tackle a whole range of issues' from caste politics, terrorism, and underworld to changing moral of the society, compromised ideologies, frustrated Naxalites and the so-called Marathi-vs-North Indian issue.

And to his credit, he does it seamlessly, though here and there one sees a tendency to go back to his loud style.

Narration : 'Y.M.I' is the finest film of N. Chandra and everyone will vouch on that.

The film has a universal appeal and the narration was superb. The film has no masala - element in it and only hard-hitting reality.
