Gauraiya – hindi movie review

 Shefali is writing a book on Dacoits of Chitrakoot as she is has taken up the issue of crime and the atrocities hurled towards its victims.

This offbeat film is based on true incidents with an imaginary story portrayal of a desert area somewhere in Patna in North India, a place of the poor and downtrodden people who are victimized by dacoits.

Shefali travels all the way to the hinterland and meets a downtrodden and sexually exploited woman Gauraiya from a village named Harijanpur which is situated in the backward area of Patna. She had kept the title of the book as END OF CRIME.

It was child marriage for Gauraiya when she was a little girl was married by the elders in the village to a boy Sukhna. As per their traditions, the child couple did not have her final wedding (Gauna) rituals. It is only when the children cross their teens, they are finally wedded.

Gauraiya narrates her tragedy to Shefali as to how and why she became a bonded labourer in the hands of Tendu Leaf contractor Kali Patel for the simple reason as she had to pay off the her father’s debt.

The Love is Forever – Hindi movie review

A girl from the rich and affluent Chaudhary family falls in love with a boy from a middle class family. The girl’s father disapproves her falling in love with this ordinary boy, and hence wants her to get married to a boy in a rich family.

Love is a universal feeling and the whole world revolves around this magical word. It is very rare to come across “true” love whichremains forever in your minds, thoughts & memories.

Two youngsters based in a rural town of India experience love for the first time but destiny has other plans for them. The film takes you through lots of ups and downs in the lives of these lovers…but will they win against all odds?

What is interesting in this film is that the girl falls in love with the melodious tunes on the flute played by the boy who has all the time in the world to sit in the jungle and play his tunes.

An unwanted character springs up now and then enquiring about his identity.

Overall, it is just a mediocre film with gaudy make-ups, lighting and the flashy colours of the upholstery. Even Rana Jung Bahadur could not save this film.
