1776th BLOG POST -->>
I remember watching an interview
of Radhika Madan and had thought I would never watch her movie because I found
her being too bubbly for no reasons. But when I heard about the movie, Mard ko
dard nahi hota, from so many people on social media I thought of watching it on
the digital platform. Surprisingly, the movie is also the 1st movie
for Bhagyasree’s son, Abhimanyu Dassani. The movie has a feel of Hollywood
flick, Deadpool, throughout as it carries the same logic where the protagonist
of the movie does stuffs by thinking aloud and regularly sharing with you
rather than being as if he is meant to do all these superlative stunts.
The story is about this boy who
has a disease where he can’t feel physical pain. With this his childhood is
portrayed in most of the first half of the movie. It is very interesting to
watch those segments as the chemistry of him with his father and grandfather is
amazing. His father wants him to behave normal whereas his grandfather wants
him to behave special and do things he feels like doing. He watches a lot of
movie in his childhood and becomes fan of Mani (played by Gulshan Devaiah) who
his specialist in martial arts. Growing up, he sees dream of becoming one like
him and as soon as he gets chance, mostly in the 2nd half of the
movie, he does too many things in some of which he wins whereas in some of
which he falls flat and gets himself and his childhood crush, Supri along with
his grandfather (played by Mahesh Manjrekar) trapped.
Frankly speaking, there is not
much in the plot of the movie but basically thrives and survives on the
references it regularly gives of other classical movies and those
thinking-aloud slow-motion stunts and action segments of the protagonist. These
scenes are even a tribute to those movies but also a sarcasm and parody of
those cliché storylines. I felt that the movie is too ambitious because of
which writer /director- Vasan Bala has ended up delivering a not-so-very-good
edited movie. There are many segments which are unnecessary and mainly just
after interval, you actually start getting bored. Talking about performances,
everyone has done well but no one except Radhika Madan and Gulshan Devaiah
could enter my heart.
I also believe that a very
powerful storyline with a great purpose to the theme could have turned fortunes
for this movie but alas, except critics, it is sure that audiences didn’t love
it as much as makers and critics must have wanted. Even the concept of not
feeling pain is not encashed properly. The climax is amazing and makes you
smile while getting out of the movie but doesn’t stay with you for a long time.
Overall, I found this movie bit below average and I couldn’t enjoy it as much
as I wanted. I give this one 2* out of 5.
Thanks.
