Knowing a little about the modern history of India, you will not be unfamiliar with the causes of today's conflict between India and Pakistan and the gap between Hinduism and Islam. This is also the background and main theme of the film. It can be said that there is always a dark line between India and Pakistan and between religions. The clear line is to escort the little girl home.
Shahida, a little girl living in Kashmir, Pakistan, was born unable to speak. The old man in the village said that anyone who has been to the Grand Mosque of Delhi (Delhi is the capital of India) and made a wish will have all wishes come true. After making a wish, it came true, but when the old man was 5 years old, India and Pakistan were still a country. Now, for some Pakistanis, "going to Delhi is more difficult than going to the United States." Lu, the wish at the mosque did not cure her daughter's illness, but who would have thought that she lost her daughter on the way back... The little girl was accidentally picked up by Bajrangi (hereinafter referred to as B), who believed in Hanuman (Hindu monkey god). After all kinds of ridiculous farces, she gradually learned about her life experience. , decided to independently complete the "impossible mission" to escort the little girl home. Although the whole story is full of Bollywood-style absurdity and Hollywood-style heroic exaggeration, there are still many intriguing and touching plots.
B is like Forrest Gump, but his IQ is limited, but he is the kind of devout Hindu believer who believes that he must be honest, and stubbornly needs a "permission" when smuggling into the country, like every Pakistani confesses His Hindu identity and smuggling situation, precisely because of his stupidity, moved Pakistani entertainment reporters, imams and even the police who arrested him. The older imam invited B to enter the mosque to rest, but B was reluctant to enter because of his religious beliefs. The imam said, "The door of the mosque is open to everyone, which is why it is not closed at night", although I remember that many mosques in India are not So friendly.... When they parted, the imam raised his right hand to his chest in a Muslim confession, while B was a little hesitant and returned to the Hindu namaste. This is the same as when the Pakistani saw him off at the end of the film, and he took the initiative with tears in his eyes. By paying tribute to everyone in a Muslim way and echoing each other, love has completely resolved the differences between religions and nations. There is a moment in the film, B is on the way to escape, crying uncontrollably in a Muslim shrine singing and dancing music in Pakistan, completely immersed in the music of Allah "We pray, those who pray to the Lord Muhammad have never been unanswered, Never", not sensational, the power and divinity of religion does have an indescribable inspiring power. This reminds me of more than one time in a foreign mosque, I saw a man crying alone in the corner, the world was difficult, maybe only the Lord was by my side, comforting the soul who had nowhere to talk.
The film still portrays the people as kind and just, while the politicians are despicable. The last high-ranking official in Pakistan disregarded the facts and identified B as a spy, which also shows the director's point of view.
Finally, under the influence of love, the little girl shouted out a voice, a miracle appeared, and Allah or Hanuman appeared. At this moment, love transcended religious national boundaries, and universal value was above everything else. Although sensational and old-fashioned, it is beautiful and gives people hope. After all, this is not a realistic documentary, but more like a fairy tale ending. Everyone expects such an ending, because the reality is so cruel.
The magnificent aerial photography at the beginning of the film and the picturesque scenery at the end should be the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, which reminds me of "Three Silly" and the endings of many Indian films that have to go to the Himalayas and the vast alpine meadows and Haizi for shooting, which is also the heart of Indians. the pure land. There are also the boundless deserts and camel caravans of Rajasthan, the colorful streets of India, and of course the dazzling songs and dances that are essential for Indian films, which are also a feast for audiovisuals.
In recent years, India has produced a lot of good films reflecting on India-Pakistan relations. Although this is a country with many practical problems, it is more free and colorful. I always think of the land under my feet, the two sides of the strait, the sides of the Himalayas, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. How many more touching stories of life and death are there?
