Not only is there an outspread difference between just watching a film and fully perceiving it, the way it adds value to lives is what keeps a film’s motive kindled. While many oscar-winners have snavelled attention of the crowd, several others still remain hushed behind the camera, especially because their motive was deliberately lost in thin air. In fact, a few handfuls were often also indicated “coincidental award winners” only because they could not catch as much attention of the audience as was anticipated.
However, the films that do not spiral curiosity are often films for the wiser. It’s true that people who are older, hopefully also wiser, contemplate a storyline better, at least more than those who watch it through the seams, hoping the theme would be clear on its own. A movie’s wavelength reaches the summit only after fully grasping the events, tuning and aligning it altogether. Truth be told, there are several piles of movies that went unnoticed, especially due to trivial reasons not many can anticipate.
Here are a few films that can revolutionise, alter and often frame the scaffolding to a high-riding vision.
Sonchiriya, 2019
While it is extremely simple to portray scenic locations, fusing different cultures into one to create a staggering panorama – Sonchiriya illustrated what most films could not. The Sushant Singh Rajput and Manoj Bajpayee duo, through notable works of art, showcased the gathering of dacoits in the Chambal district. The film received accolades from the Filmfare Critics Award for “Best Film” in the year 2020. The sheer versatility each actor had only rose through the tall rungs. After only retrieving back about 8 crores, this movie deliberately deserves a second chance to prove how far it can climb ahead.
Shaurya, 2008
While movies that crown comedy win the race, the bare reality shielded behind movies like Shaurya loses its motive. A 2008 drama, raging through images of war shows vehemence behind intense acting. One of the most arresting motion pictures, Shaurya, that notably portrayed the military in its most raw structure remained under the chart mostly because it was undervalued beyond imagination. A film collectively delivered by Kay Menon and Rahul Bose took a high ride until reaching a point where the blunt truth behind the scenes did not quite match the expectations people had. Many even hint that the film was a blatant and equally facile attempt – while in truth, it remains a movie well portrayed that deserves another chance to win back its face.
Meri Pyaari Bindu, 2017
The 2017 drama film, Meri Pyaari Bindu, unearths an abnormally romantic bond between Ayushmann Khurana and Parineeti Chopra. A profound, yet eccentric genre that blends fragments of love with several morsels of misfortune. The impeccably coordinated film shows an effortless bond that grows apart with time. The movie explores an ending that isn’t quite on the brighter side, breaking the norm most storylines are fenced around. While several bundles show an irrational ‘happy ending’, regardless of whether or not it is possible, Meri Pyaari Bindu excavates a doleful, yet radiant closing scene – closely knitting the world of romanticism together, still prominently illustrating the casting of distance. Films like these occasionally shift from the epicentre most movies are based on, and digs a meaning especially unforeseen. It binds a storyline not many can imagine, making it a film worthy of a second chance.
