I found it rather funny that the last three films I reviewed spoke about politics but that all three of them are as different from each other as can be. I did look to see if some kind soul had uploaded the film online; it's not available for free, unfortunately, but there is a pay-per-view:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/movie?v=Pnn-UpTqXEY&feature=mv_sr<br /><br />And here is a scene to whet your appetite:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-hwFA1QSzs&list=LPKpG9IiNOxw0&index=7&feature=plcpAnu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-76373303510018435142012-12-05T10:33:33.739-05:002012-12-05T10:33:33.739-05:00 :) Sorry, Madhu.

And this one is treated differently from both the films you mentioned, Ashokji. I agree with you that a film such as this calls for a strong and clear characterisation. What I liked about <i>The Concert</i> is that the political and social messages are very subtle. It is the human emotions that take centrestage. Yet the message is there, for all that.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-35938087068566864352012-12-05T09:13:46.856-05:002012-12-05T09:13:46.856-05:00Yet another one, Anu :) Sounds as pleasing as The ...Yet another one, Anu :) Sounds as pleasing as The Cup.
