Anantayatra (1985)
Director: Jayoo Patwardhan,Nachiket Patwardhan
Language:Hindi
Cast: Sudhir Joshi,Rohini Hattangadi,Naseeruddin Shah,Anuradha Patel
The movie is about a certain Anant Godbole ( Sudhir Joshi, a very famous Marathi theatre personality) who is going through mid-life crisis. He finds himself entrapped in the ratrace - finds his job as a manager at a manufacturing company very unrewarding, loses connection with his wife ( Rohini) and is troubled with the widening gap between him and his children.
He keeps grappling with medical tests and doctors in a vain hope of finding some medicine that will put an end to all his problems. One day, out of blue, he gets a call from a mysetrious Mr Jaduwala , Naseeruddin Shah speaking in wonderful Gujarati accent, offering a solution for all his troubles. Although he is sceptic about it all and dismisses the call as a hoax, Anant Godbole finds himself at the Jaduwala residence at the appointed time.
What follows is a hilarious but immensely thought provoking ride right on the Line of control between reality and imagination.
Sudhir Joshi gave a GREAT performance. So did Rohini Hattangadi. I wonder why we could not see much of this immensely talented lady. Anuradha Patel has an interesting role as Shakuntala. And needless to say, Naseeruddin Shah gives yet another BRILLIANT performance. Right from his voice, accent, make-up and posture to his expressions while spouting his philosophy, he totally is in command.
Music by Hridayanath mangeshkar is not bad. Cinematography , especially in the sections related to Anuradha Patel is lovely.
In all, a good comedy with some great performances.
8/10
