Court: Marathi Film: A Worthy Entry to the Oscars

Incidentally this is my second Marathi film that I saw after Shwaas, another Oscar entry, ten years ago.

I was lucky enough to catch up with this Marathi film in Chennai were it briefly ran for a week at PVR six months ago to an almost full house that broke into a standing ovation!!!.

And Court curiously was not about Judgement!!!!, it merely enabled the viewer to introspect and arrive at some stunning observations!!!.

Using a Case, it attempts to examine the lives of the Judge presiding the case and the  two lawyers who are arguing the case.

Using their lives it explores the mindsets, their aspirations, the ignorance, the greed, hypocrisy, and the human struggle to find fairness amidst despair.

Each frame simmers with necessary anger and angst. 

While the social commentary was absorbing, the most interesting observation that lingers:

The  quality of the lives that we lead and the value that we eschew may have direct bearing on our approach to work !!! 

A must watch for every professional. 

With Court we have a reasonable good shot at the Oscars!!!!.

All the best to Chaitanya Tamhane!!! and Team.
