I watched a wonderful movie after a long hiatus... "Welcome to Sajjanpur" written and directed by Shyam Benegal and music composed by Shantanu Moitra. It is a movie about a BA graduate who ends up doing the work of letter writing at his home village. All the characters in the movie surround him and the director has done a tremendous job by writing a wonderful script.
It is an end-to-end comedy movie and you will laugh like hell if you get to understand the dialogues properly. The movie is set up in a Bihari village and the accent was little difficult for me to understand. VD raj was there to my rescue whenever I didnt grasp stuffs in the movie.
There are couple of characters which will be etched in my mind for ever. Munnibai Mukhanni played by Ravi Jhankal and Subedar Singh played by Lalit Mohan Tiwari. And of course the hero of the movie Mahadev Kushwaha played by Shreyas Talpade needs a great deal of appreciation. This is one movie which has no great star cast and no much publicity but the story, screenplay and the way each character is portrayed will easily make it one of the great movies made in Hindi film history.
No wonder Rajeev Masand gave a 4 on 5 rating for this. Dont forget to catch a little cameo by Kunal Kapoor in the end.
"Welcome to Sajjanpur", a must watch movie and the whole credit should go to the director Shyam Benegal.
