Trishul Movie Review

Watched the film – after a long time again – with a mature brain @ Zee Classic!

Pre-requisite (to understand the review ) – You have watched the film.

This film was released in 1978. So how many Indian citizens understood that:

1. Males should not sleep around before wedlock. (How Sanjeev Kr. suffered at ripe old age when son Amitabh (born outta wedlock) ruins his life – every moment of it)
2. Females should not sleep before wedlock. (How Waheeda Reheman gave birth to a fatherless child and filled vengeance into him since early childhood…refer song. Main tujhe doodh na bakshungi, tujhe meri kasam! )
3. The above 2 points should basically be the ‘Take Home’ for the commoners – citizens of India.
4. Unfortunately – the film failed to convey its message effectively. All that happened was that movie tickets were sold for black …and several cassettes were sold since the songs of this film were super hits. Which meant more ‘power’ to the film Industry – the reason why today they have the money to spend 30 crores on a single Item song & dance (I need not elaborate on the quality of the dance steps & the attire worn…not worn)- This point is especially for those people who say things like “God gives money to the rich people only” – correction – God does not give – You give to buy misery!
5. So what was probably the ‘Take Home’ for the then youths (now grand fathers) was the swim-suit clad slim body of Poonam Dillon. (Gaapuchix2 gum gum song)

Inference:: We didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world’s been turning!
