Apna Manus movie

Apna Manus: The Marathi drama is a morality tale and to some extent, a crime thriller. It is a deeper exploration of family relationships.

1. Nana Patekar - नाना पाटेकर, a wry and cynical investigator who cannot easily be fooled, gets the movie’s best lines. The role is a cakewalk for the thespian, and he does not expend more than the minimum required effort

2. Aaba, also Nana, is resentful of the fact that Bhakti works, and that his grandson has been sent away to boarding school.

3. Bhakti detests Aaba’s old-fashioned condescension and is hurt by his frequent barbs and attacks on her independence. 4. 4. Rahul, the best-etched character in the story, brings his lawyerly self into his home and refuses to take sides or stand up for what is right.

I am a #NanaPatekar fan. Hence chose to watch.

A thought-provoking film, more so these days considering the challenges we face, thanks to #COVID19 #lockdown et al.
