Re:anonymous

Hi friends,

Antara is back to her windowpane after weeks. Hope you all are doing fine.

This blog is with reference to an interesting question posted by an ‘anonymous’ soul as a comment to my first blog entry –‘ On Bollywood’. Here goes the question : “…who is the hero of the film?...in its true sense.....is it daya?...is it akash!!....who?...n why?” Yah you have got it right, it is about the movie ‘Gangster’.

A tricky question Mr./Ms. Anonymous ! And the answer depends on how you interpret the word ‘hero’.

Taking ‘hero’ to be synonymous with the protagonist of the movie, it is none other than Simran… not only because we see the entire story through her eyes, but also because her yearning for a ‘ghar’(home) is what takes the movie forward .. it is ‘her’ dreams that get fulfilled, shattered or taken advantage of by the other characters through out the course of the movie.
