What ever I would say about this purest form of art in hindi cinema would be less.
This movie is totally out of box and yet it seems like nothing belonged like this one. This is the best hindi movie I have ever watched. Well I can say that I am somewhat biased towards it as it is a banaras based movie. And I personally love the energy, culture and aura of banaras. The story of people of who burn the dead bodies at harishchandra ghats and how they live and how a boy from a low caste family like the one there actually struggles to get out of there.
It is a coming of age movie. The character of richa chadha is somewhat complex and this is a movie where a women character who is curious about sex and goes throught what devi did in film is not judged. And I loved that about it. The love story of shallu and Deepak is so pure and innocent. Everyone will remember the era of 80's and 90's with their love story. There is everything in movie how people recover the pain of loosing someone so close. There is a scene where Deepak cries with his friends because he get to know that shallu is no more and he has to burn her at the ghat, when he was sitting and crying. That scene will make your heart cry out loud for that guy. It is about all love, heal , pain , struggle.
I would rate it 10/10.
