well-intended and well-narrated film
Director Kharkongors #MantraMovie is a well-intended and well-narrated film with a superb star-cast. Rajat, Lushin, Kalki, Rohan and Shiv deliver mature performances. It clearly depicts how the ‘India Shining’ campaign was actually a hoax, how it forced small, medium and successful Indian companies to go bankrupt. MNCs could afford to invest huge amounts here, buy local raw material in bulk and pay higher commissions to display their products prominently in stores. All these led to the unwarranted closure of small local industries, who could not face the new challenges. A must watch. Rating 4/5.
A Well thought, well acted and well told story
Nicholas Kharkongor has given us a well thought and well told story. Set from a business owner point of view, how he manages to keep his business afloat and at the same time keeping his family together. All the characters have their own problems and dilemas in life and its just about how they cope with their problems.Rajat Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Shiv Panditt were great in their respective roles but it’s Rajat Kapoor who stands tall as the soul of the movie. He is very convincing as a business icon who is struggling.
Obviously this film has a different target audience and not made for the masses, it involves some business and economic terms which many of the audience won’t understand but for the target audience it is well intended and well narated film.
It’s not a long film and sticks just to the main story and does not deviate. This is a good thing.
