MohanDas: Movie And Music Review

Mohan Das is a realistic depiction of the social evils that till date were heard and read about only in televisions or newspaper.

It is a movie about a simple village boy called Mohan Das (Nakul Vaid) who gets an offer to join the Oriental coal mine. Obviously he is excited, but fate it seems has other plans for him. As Mohan das kept waiting in the courtyard weaving dreams of beautiful tomorrow, his job is already taken up by someone else in the Oriental coal mines. Tired and frustrated he gives up hope only to learn that someone else is using his name and is doing the same job.

The film from here on becomes a fight of self identity for this poor village lad. In his journey of truth he is joined by a TV journalist Meghna (Sonali Kulkarni) and district lawyer Harshvardhan ( Aditya Srivastava) . A long tedious journey follows where Mohan Das grows more resigned to his fate and seeks solace in the lap of nature.

The movie has a big social message to convey, but in spite of everything question remains as to how many people would actually pay to see such movies. Performances no doubt are very good but the low budget of the film is very evident in every frame. However we have to agree that it is a wonderful movie and we need more such movies which can highlight the problems of the heartland.
