There are no villains but many troubled souls who are sinners too. His focus is caste and he has done a good job at it. It’s always difficult to not draw similarities when films like Bandit Queen and Paan Singh Tomar feature the same canvas, so what a director could do? Take a new angle or stick to one agenda, which might have been shown earlier, and get deeper into it. While holding his ground against actors such as Bajpayee and Shorey, he shows restraint and an objective compassion. He is mostly silent and hardly delivers the kind of dialogues our leads are used to especially when there is a gun at disposal, but his presence is enigmatic. It’s very unlike hero role and that makes Rajput tread the path carefully. In such a situation that completely fogs your imagination and the zeal for a better life, luck is the only companion you want.Īfter a few minutes, actors like Rajput and Ranvir Shorey (Vakil Singh) begin to spread wings.
Being a Man Singh or a Phuliya (Phoolan) isn’t a matter of choice but of survival.Ĭhaubey leisurely sets us up on a date with a deeply patriarchal, unjust society where loaded words lead to belligerence. There are castes, sub-castes and bizarrely envisioned pride associated with them. It’s wilder than the wild, wild west and more divided than our opinion on reservation.

But it’s the life in between that’s hard, testing, judgmental and full of dangers. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom and air is so pure that all your wishful thinking takes a backseat. It’s a gang guided by Man Singh aka Dadda (Manoj Bajpayee) through the dusty and unforgiving bylanes in the Chambal valley.
The chief of the pack warns everybody of dire consequences if they don’t cooperate but little does he know that flying bullets are far less deadly than the haunting images from his bloody past. When after its signature tune the national news channel announces the declaration of emergency on radio, a group of bandits enters a village in the ravines of Chambal.
