Firaaq Movie Review
When passionate hatred overtakes the passion for life, when treason over-rules the treaty of peaceful co-existence, the individuals have no other go except the silence of a mass grave.
Set in the backdrop of the nefarious Gujarat riots of 2002, Firaaq explores the plight of hapless people in a hopeless tragedy that sweeps them into an inevitable corner where even redemption becomes blashphemy.
There is an ordinary housewife Aarti (Deepti Naval) facing the brunt of innate unhelpfulness, an extraordinary Hindu-Muslim couple Anuradha and Sameer (Tisca Chopra & Sanjay Suri) in a mode of rediscovery, maestro Khan Saheb (Naseeruddin Shah) devoted to divine music, his housekeeper (Raghuvir Yadav), Muneera (Shahana Goswami) left with a burnt house, an unconscionable wheeler-dealer (Paresh Rawal) and a host of characters played by Nowaz, Md Samad, Dilip Joshi, Sumeet Raghavan, Vicky Ahuja, Amruta Subhash and Arun Kumar.
Firaaq is not in the linear story telling format but the characters bubble out from the decaying fizz of dizzy societal formulations.
