Dhanak- Taking Bollywood to the next level

Our obsession towards Bollywood movies has always been growing and garnishing the interest to the next level. Movies are now not just a mode of entertainment but something which represents the culture and mentality of a nation. Its always a pride for any nation to get their movies represented and premiered in the International Film festivals in Los Angeles and Torronto. One of the movies that has bought absolute pride for the Indian cinema is 'Dhanak' which is a tale about two siblings from a small village in Rajasthan, moving against all odds to achieve their mission.

Its a story about a sister who is desperate about gifting her brother his lost vision before his 9th Birthday. She is a big fan of Shahrukh Khan, the famous Bollywood actor. They have lost their parents long back and was taken care by their uncle and aunt who couldn't afford the amount required to operate his eyes and get his vision back, One fine day, Pari, the elder sister saw a poster where she came to know that Shahrukh Khan was running a campaign for eye donation to poor people. Since then she has been stern to meet SRK and request him to help his brother out. Chalking out the fact that she wouldn't be supported by her uncle and aunt, she decided to carry his brother and cover a long distance to meet SRK who was about to come down to Jaisalmer for a shoot. The best part about the movie was the audience getting involved along with getting carried away by the flow of the movie. The long journey of the siblings were accompanied by multiple situations which they had to deal with. The love of the siblings was so intense that it didn't allow them to perceive the difficulty of travelling such a long distance through the Rajasthan deserts. They came across numerous people who has either helped them or tried to take some criminal advantage but somewhere down the line they had guts and blessings of God that made them achieve what they desired for.

The siblings seemed to enjoy the journey surpassing all tensions and hard times. This movie also depicts the actual meaning of love. Love has nothing to do with relations. Love is all about caring for someone and breaking all barriers to remain partners and overcome all obstacles. Love is all about desperation towards taking the best care of the other person. Love is all about staying together and facing all odds together and breaking barriers. This message was clearly depicted in this movie and it couldn't be casted in a better way. Filled with emotions, i feel that this movie is a must watch and till now it has been underrated. I would rate this movie 4/5.
