Summer 2007 - Amazingly poor

Summer 2007 - Running successfully (The people from the theaters)

Director: Suhail Tatari Producer: Atul Pandey Written by: Bijesh Jayarajan MUSIC DIRECTOR: Gourov Dasgupta

I realise the fact that good movies need not come from big banners or superstars. I was hugely impressed with gorgeous movies like Water, i watch them, of course and i appreciate good entertaining flicks too. Summer 2007 is a movie which fails miserably in delivering a fine concept, and the cast really lokked like puupets. Five medical students from a capitation fee college in India, represent the youth hooked onto xbox’s and formula 1 racing. That is the only India they have inherited and that is the only India they know. Till one day, a game they play goes too far. As an outcome they land up in one of the most deprived villages in Maharashtra. Their rural posting turns into a soul searching journey where they are forced to confront their own apathy, their own fears and their strange complicity in the circumstances of the village. Before they can run from there, they get sucked into the whirlpool of counter currents. Each of the five undergo different kinds of catharsis and in the end have to make a choice. Do they leave the mess just as they had found it and get away from there…or do they choose to get involved? Start of a thrilling story? No - its just bullshit! If you are going for a one time watch, it's tolerable, still lot to improve. Music is a must avoid. At least they had some concept, and a decent direction, watch it maybe.
