I am back with yet another Movie review..
Yesterday I happen to watch “Pinjar”. I was stunned. Almost after 24 hours I can verbalize my feelings about the film. Pinjar means Cage & the film is a complete success in making us also feel the same. The Protagonist ‘Puro’ played by Urmila Matondkar is just another example of Perfection.
Based on a novel by Amrita Pritam, this film is set in Punjab during the Partition. This film takes an unbiased view on Indo-Pak partition. It tells the story of a Hindu girl, Puro who is re-christened Hamida, after she is kidnapped by a Muslim farmer Rashid a day before her marriage.I have not yet read the novel but I am definitely looking forward for it. Puro looses everything during the partition, her Parents, rest all Family, her Nation & her Hindu individuality too. Her son was also snatched from her in front of her eyes & she could not do anything. Her husband changes her name to Hamida but still Puro did not react. Pinjar depicts how our social values & responsibilities make us just a Cage in which our spirit is strangled. I can not write the entire story here because there are so many factors apart from Storyline, are making Pinjar such an unmemorable experience. The Music took me back to the era of 1948 entirely. The cinematography was just perfect. Costumes, Make up were giving the film an earthy touch. And on the top of everything, there was Urmila, without whom I just can not imagine Pinjar to get materialized. She has soaked into ‘Puro’ so perfectly. For all Urmila fans, it’s a must watch experience. I can still see Puro’s face staring & asking the explanation & justification for all those tragic incidences which overturned her life.
I won’t watch this movie again because in the first go only it has shaken me so much from inside that I feel I wont be able to handle the Mental Storms again after watching it. But for all those u have not watched it, it’s a must watch & it will also make us all realize that we all are living such a safe n secured life.
