Great intentions down the plug hole It was a movie with great intentions. All in line with the govt agenda of sanitation. I went to the movie hall expecting to see and know, not just how bad it could be for those without basic facilities, but also how a commoner tries and eventually succeeds to convince his family, neighbours and society about its sheer importance.
What I went home with was.... a pandering to the govt agencies being all for it (an exhausted sigh here ... too much govt love here) and people ruining it all for the country
The premise was set well. A toilet-user marries a non-toilet owner. Husband wants to make it right, people are tough to fight which eventually he does. The first half was super story line, fast paced, engaging. Sadly, just as the politics around it all began taking centre stage, the narration slowed and became something completely different. It seemed an episode of satyamev jayte being shown in a theatre. The first half was about toilets. The second half clearly about bureaucracy and babudom.
I wish we someday got a Bollywood social movie that doesn't have the quintessential long , mind-altering , one eye tearing speeches which poke the viewer too much to feel what they want us to.
