Many films have been made in Hindi on Hindu-Muslim harmony. This series has been going on before independence, in that sense, Anivash Das's film is not very surprised in these streets, but this film is being released in the atmosphere when the issue of Hindu-Muslim is at the center of socio-political debate. Rehman Gali and Hanuman Galli on screen have been depicted in a very easy and interesting manner. In the film, there has been a sharp string on those who spoil the communal atmosphere. These streets were released in cinema houses at a time when there is an atmosphere of Ramadan and Eid in the country. And a few days ago, the colorful festival of Holi has been celebrated. This coincidence of the film's story and timing is unique. So this film draws attention.
The film stars the famous actor Javed Jaffrey as Chaiwala Shire, while young actors like Vivaan Shah, Avantika Dasani, Ishtiaq Khan and Sushant Singh. That is, it is an average budget film. The dialogue of a deranged character in the film is very poignant and the essence of the whole story is the essence. He sarcasts among things-India's discovery… This dialogue and its gesture makes the canvas of the film bigger. The expansion of its story comes out of two streets and reaches every corner of the country. The story of the loving couple who sells vegetables is like a song of love amidst stress.
There is a film of such a story in these streets, which are out of the scene nowadays. Such films of big budget are no longer seen to be seen. Its backdrop is from a town in Lucknow. There are two streets here- Hanuman Gali and Rahman Gali. People of Hindu community live in Hanuman Gali and of the Muslim community in Rahman Gali. People of both communities have been moving for years, are people who earn everyday and are helpful in each other. The story begins with the colorful splashes of Holi, Shero Shayari's gathering and Eid night ends with a dreaded incident.
There are three main characters in the story. One- Aashik mood young Hari Ram (Vivaan Shah), second- Shabbo i.e. Shabnam (Avantika Dasani), both sell vegetables in the street. Love each other but religion keeps causing difficulties. The chemistry of both of them gives great pleasure to the audience in the film. There is an elderly chaiwala in this street- the name is- Mirza (Javed Jaffrey), he sells kebabs along with tea and is also a poet. In poetry, we recite the message of love. But this message becomes the dushman of his life. In the election time, politics plans to spread hatred between the two communities. It is important to know how to turn in the life of Hari Ram and Shabbo.
The script written by Punarvasu and the direction of Avinash Das shows synergy. The director-writer's team has chosen the Awadh background to speak in the context of the current political-social scenario. The dialogue is a unique confluence of Hindi-Urdu and period language. In its detailed canvas, this film tries to tell the mood of the entire country. The film also throws light on social media utility and misuse. Many times, many episodes of the film also become contemporary in dialogues. In fact, this contemporary is the special purpose of the film.
The weak side which appears in the schedule of this film of forty minutes for about an hour, then it also seems to be a strong side. The plot of the story is literary but it has been made in the commercial format. The film gives a very serious message in the middle and sometimes it becomes very light. That is, the effort is to make a serious film of commercial format but the low budget is not allowing the film to fly. In such a situation, the initiative of the director-writer becomes admirable.
