Hindi movie Bharat
The latest Hindi movie Bharat is based on true life historical facts and is proving to be a box office hit.
It evokes in the minds of Indian people the traumatic and harrowing experience suffered by millions of people as a result of the division of British India into two separate states – India and Pakistan. This saw the greatest movement of people on the face of this earth in modern times. Millions of Muslims left India to settle in Pakistan and millions of Hindus left Pakistan to settle in India. During this disorganised movement racial violence erupted on both sides and thousands lost their lives. Families were torn apart and refugee camps continued to swell in squalid conditions.
Feeding these millions became a very difficult task and many sought jobs in oil rich Middle East countries. The conditions there were almost unbearable in desert heat and unhealthy living conditions coupled with poor diet. However, those who had gone had no choice but to face the reality and plod along to sustain their families. Bharat was an eight-year-old boy from the village of Mirpur in Pakistan. In a rush to get on to an overcrowded train his baby sister ‘Guddi’ slips and gets lost in the swarming crowd. The father decides to get down to look for her as the train moves on towards Delhi. Bharat made a promise to his father to look after the family and the family ration shop located in old Delhi. For years Bharat waited for his father and sister to return, but this never happened.
A TV company decides to stage a family reunion at Wagah Border between India and Pakistan. And here the reunion captures the hearts and minds of the viewers as families unite. Bharat’s sister ‘Guddi’ was now married and had moved to London. She called to say that she was alive. This family reunion chocked the viewers with tears and some were even sobbing loudly. Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are in the leading role.
The film has romance, humour and the usual dose of Bollywood masala in the form of fights, songs, dances and motorcycle racing etc.
The film Bharat is great entertainment and the moviegoers will not be disappointed.
