Indian version of "Sister Tao" + "Qian Xueshen"
Julian 2022-07-29 15:13:12
The Indian version of "Sister Tao" + "Qian Xueshen", but it is more in-depth, reflective and contemporary. I believe that many aspiring young people living or studying overseas must also want to return to their hometown with enthusiasm and serve the motherland after watching the film. The film is inspiring and not preaching. It uses the strong Indian culture and the superb acting skills of the male and female leading roles to sing the patriotic theme and form a patriotic resonance. It is very good, and it is worth watching the movie. It would be great if Director Zhang Yimou could adapt a Chinese version.

Mohan Bhargav: I'm only speaking of things I've experienced while living here. And that is that we keep fighting among ourselves when we must fight against illiteracy, over-population & corruption. Everyday, in our streets & homes, each one of us keeps saying their is no future of this country. This country is on the path of destruction. If we keep saying this, we will one day actually land up there. You'll need to do something about this. You too! Not just the members of the Panchayat but everyone in the village. You're blaming Panchayat for your problems. But when you step into their shoes, you'll do the same thing. This applies to me too. The dalits blame the brahmins and brahmins claim that their piety is despoiled by the dalits. The blacksmith & potter blame the moneylender. The land owners blame the peasants, but they don't give them their rights. In what way are we great then? If we have problems in the village, we point our finger at the State and the State at someone else. We all are finding fault with each other! But the true fact is that we're all to be blamed. Because the problem is us. Me, you, all of us...
Vishwa: Are you out of your mind! What are you saying?
Mohan Bhargav: All I know is that a weaver who changed his occupation by becoming a farmer can't even feed his family or give his children even some basic education. He can only watch his kids die of malnutrition.
