In 2004’s Phil Milenge, about a man who struggles with the challenges of being diagnosed with AIDS, director Levasie gives us a moving tale of hope in the face of all odds. gave me She avoids any understatement in this work, whose subject matter is to tug directly at her heartstrings. Every sequence is created to fill you with pity and tear your eyes.
Check out the movie trailer for Salaam Venky: :
It’s hard to feel sorry for a young man who uses humor to escape from the horrors of impending doom, but the first half is nothing more than a montage of scenes that feel like filler. A movie-obsessed Benky trades sweets with a childhood friend who happens to be blind. Benky is good friends with his favorite nurse and teaches her chess. Benky is now alive and well with his long-lost sister who has returned to the family. It’s meant to be generic, but it’s done so overtly that it’s just annoying.
The real film is a tale between the participation of a talented lawyer (Rahul Bose), a triumphant TV reporter (Ahana Kumra), a belligerent prosecutor (Priyamani) and a conscientious judge (Prakash Raj) on canvas. Only later will it begin. Even for myself, there are some moving moments. How can I stay stoic in the face of young lives being lost? Kamar Sadhana, who shared her debut with Kajol (Bekhudi, 1992), will be back in a while, as will Kandelwal. Other characters serve Jesuwa who does everything according to the book. Kajol is the only one who rises above the script and gives us a naive portrait of her mother and her pain. To her relief, she has a starry companion (Aamir Khan, in an extended cameo), in and out. The rest is melodrama fueled by background music.
