In fact it is a character of its own throughout the movie and plays its own part! 2. The feeling he gets when he starts to land in India. I thought there were three moments in the movie that captured it all 1. But I think the rather leisurely pace of the movie is required because it gives enough time for the protagonist, Mohan Bhargava, to come to India (with his mineral water and caravan) and start to fall in love with its beauty as well as understand its incongruities which frustrate us all as well. He has captured something which perhaps no other Indian movie has - that love for ones country can be strong without making an excessively big deal about it. It has none of the ridiculous clichés one is typically used to seeing when one sees a story about an India returning home. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition.Īshutosh Gowariker, has really made this movie straight from the heart. Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying? We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed. In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. This country is on the path of destruction. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country. And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here.
