Next time you are upset that your dinner is the same old rice and dal think about the rat eaters of Bihar. This is one mountain of a movie but very very underrated. As you see the big mountain becoming smaller and smaller every passing year you can see the determination of an insane (not many will agree!!) man and literally you can visualize how love can move mountains. The movie moves in a non linear phase but that gives the viewer a well deserved change from the mellow mood which is felt throughout the movie. The backdrop of caste politics, rich poor divide, the corrupt Babus, the inconsiderate politicians interspersed with the fun that even the poorest of the poor enjoy in spite of having a mountain of troubles is really an eye opener. Nawazuddeen (the spelling is not important I do not think anyone will get confused with someone else!!) is no longer the poor man’s Irfan khan (who himself has become the poor mans SRK!!); he is here to stay and break more mountains on the way. In many of the scenes you would literally feel like grabbing a big hammer and just join Dasarath in his crazy(not really now!!) quest. To see this movie disappear into oblivion is mighty sad indeed but then as Dasarth would say Shandaar zabarzast zindabad!!…
