As the world melts into one global village redefining several aspects of our life and lifestyle, and as we continue to add complex dimensions to our fundamental needs and perpetually edge towards unhappiness, the need to revisit the fundamentals of life, the intrinsic strength of our cultural fabric, our good old values, the role and responsibility of our elders in being the relay processors and preservers of our great heritage needs to be visited again and again, probably needs to blare and honk in every nook and corners of this country lest we forget who we are. A pride that is necessary to feel good and serve as a beacon for our journey.
And how better could you narrate it, interactions of an innocent child with his grandfather. Salutations to the mother who chooses to opt to live and serve by her ailing father-in-law and prefers her son to grow up with his grandfather and study at the village. Salutations to the grandfather for imparting the mother tongue and helping the grandson understand the basic value system.
Our own treasures lying within Striking distance!!!!
As the beauty unfolds through magically created slices of moments, embellished by the soothing strains of an extraordinary re-recording of the Maestro, there walks the grandfather whom we know as an cinematographer par excellence, but little did we realize, an actor who could have given seasoned actors a run for their money.
Yes, it Balu Mahendra the actor who will give Farhan Akhtar(Bhaag Milka Baag), Irfan(Lunch Box), Dhanush(Mariyaan) a run for their money. I suspect Balu Mahendra will be the first among equals.
Balu Mahendra, at your age, instead of senility, I felt my heart pounded with adrenalin, with your agility and craft. You join the elite club of Clint East wood, who after becoming seventy acted and directed with flair and fervor.
Balu Mahendra, Sir, Can we look forward to some more?
