Shikara Hindi movie review

Shikara full movie review and Rating-2020 

It goes without saying that it is generally beyond the purview of mainstream Bollywood to fully understand and assimilate the many skeletons that constitute the old, unshakable Kashmir rebellion. Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Shikara, intending to be an elephant for a lost paradise, falls short of his goal. It tells the story of Kashmir from the point of view of those who were forced to leave the valley in the late 1980s when the insurgency spread. Essentially, the film is limited in its scope. No matter how much director Vidhu Vinod Chopra tries to balance, it cannot be anything.

Shikara is a love story set against the backdrop of the Exodus, but it floats in the shallow waters on a large scale and stays away from the molten whirlpools that are unavoidable as long as turbulence remains in the valley. The film revolves around an idealistic couple who lose their home without any hatred and mistrust and rob them of their humanity. They cling to the hope of returning to the land of their birth someday, reflecting the yearning of not only Kashmiri Pandits but all the victims of the conflict.

It would be appropriate to question Shikara's time. Kashmir, where a lot of action is scheduled, has been closed for the past several months and the rights of the people of the valley have been briefly closed. It belies Chopra's credit that the Hindu-Muslim binary at the heart of this fictional account is not "manipulated to override the entire group of people with a single brush" based on true events, although the film There is a couple to define them and comes to divide us and determines the flow of the narrative.

To try to tread tightly, the screenplay resorts to extensive means. We see grainy footage of Benazir Bhutto (on a black and white television set) addressing a rally and inspiring Kashmiris to fight for independence. One character, in reaction to another news, ridiculed the idea of ​​world peace. He blamed the Americans for pumping weapons into Afghanistan to help the Mujahideen fight Russia and then convert the weapons to militants in Kashmir. Another says that politicians are not keen for a permanent solution in Kashmir, they all want them to win the election.
