Bajrangi Bhaijaan- Cutting along the barbed lines of differences…

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is galloping along numbers, breaking past records

India and Pakistan, two independent, democratic siblings born out of shrewd and wicked application of the erstwhile British policy of “Divide and Rule” are at warfront ever since coming to existence owing to lack of mutual distrust and lacklustre efforts to resolve diplomatic differences among the respective leadership. But if there is something prominent amongst the many similarities of masses belonging to both sides of the barbed lines is the taste of entertainment. Both the siblings love their movies with the characteristic heroic plots revolving around intermediate songs, a characteristics of Bollywood. Both masses love and adore their reel life Superstars so as that there aren’t any fans but followers. So when “Bajrangi Bhaijaan” hit the floors with a message for masses across the barbed borders of division, little did it surprise anyone with its galloping march in box office collections.

Salman and Harshali in the Film

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is amongst the few films that has been critically acclaimed by critics of both sides for its marked positivity and beautiful storyline. The storyline revolves around a staunch devotee of Hindu Lord Hanuman coming to the rescue of a Muslim cutie pie alienated from her mother during her return journey to Pakistan after visiting the revered Hajrat Nizamuddin Chisti at Delhi. The action features the historic “Samjhauta Express”, one among the few common railroads between the two countries.

As the story progresses we see how differences brew suspicion amongst people of two sibling nations, so much as a Visa is denied to legally enter the neighbouring country to enable safe return of the lost child. But then, committed to the cause, the Hindu devotee, played by Salman Khan himself does the un-thinkable by entering into Pakistan illegally in pursuit of the lost child’s parents played by the adorable Harshali. The remaining story revolves around the hardships faced by Bajrangi( Salman) in convincing the Pakistani mass of his noble intentions, who doubt him as a Indian spy.

Nawaz has played an incredible part

Amongst all adversities faced, comes a helping hand in form of a local journalist, played by the charismatic Nawazudin Siddique who leaves no stone unturned in the search that seemed to be heading nowhere. The drama concludes amidst emotionally charged scenes of the girl finally uniting with her parents and Bajrangi getting caught as an illegal entrant into Pakistan. The scene closes with masses of Indian Occupied Kashmir and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir raising their voices, together in efforts to ensure a safe return of their Bajrangi Bhaijaan across to India, through the ugly barbed lines between us.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a distant plot from Salman Khan’s characteristic movies that are tastefully decorated with action scenes. Instead what is in offer is a plot that is full of emotions of love, kindness and affection for peoples of India and Pakistan for each other. Kabir Khan has shown yet agin why he is among the bests of business in direction. Nawaz proved yet again of being a heavy load of talent, but the star who stole limelight was cute Harshali with her high dose of sweetness. And Salman showed why he’s considered the master of Bollywood, a Superstar in true form.

The movie is indeed a treat to watch, a thorough entertainer with a beautiful message of unity and togetherness, cutting along the barbed lines of differences.
