New movie-releases in Navi Mumbai
By Dinesh Kamath
Dekh Tamasha Dekh
The film Dekh
Tamasha Dekh is a political and social satire based on a true story, it
revolves around the search for the religious identity of a poor man crushed
under the weight of a politician's hoarding. It is a comedy film produced by Sunil A Lulla and Feroz Abbas Khan. Director of the film is Feroz Abbas Khan.
The film
narrates the story of a town torn apart by the dispute over a dead man’s
religious identity. What ensues is a mix of hilarity and horror that
appropriately dissects the irrationality of violence, religious zealots,
corruption and bureaucracy.
Dekh Tamasha
Dekh
is a capsule, and a diorama. Some of its key characters are: A well-intentioned
but ineffectual police officer (Vinay
Jain), a dog named Elizabeth, a
Muslim family of meagre means (Tanvi
Azmi as the matriarch), Hindu political puppets (including Sharad Ponkshe), a corpse that both
Hindus and Muslims claim as their own, a crypto-fascist local businessman and
hustler (Satish Kaushik), a
newspaper editor with inflexible principles (Dhiresh Joshi), a sage-historian whose books are burnt on grounds
of offence (Satish Alekar) and
finally, a pair of doomed young lovers (Apoorva
Arora and Alok Rajwade). Besides
Kaushik and Azmi, most actors deliver with force. The film does demand a lot of
histrionics because the men, women and animals collectively are always on a
boil, although the best scenes are the quiet, introspective ones. Kaushik plays a wiry man who is
massaging a viscous yellow liquid to his elephantine physique and face. He
represents callousness, deceit, corruption as well as the idiocy of the media.
