Chaitanya Tamhane’s debut film Court is closest to reality treat. The internationally acclaimed film gives insight of not only a courtroom drama but the backdrop of every element associated with the court.
A meaningful effort to make a world cinema by keeping the simple nuances intact was the charm highlighted with mix of languages, culture, system, lifestyle, black humour & being human…
An Effortless performance by the all talented actors Veera Sathidar, Vivek Gomber, Geetanjali Kulkarni & Pradeep Joshi makes you believe the reality. A casting director has to be specially applauded for his make to believe characters…
How easy it is for a police officer to frame a common dalit under IPC sections without proper evidences? How the system with no proper proofs & using outdated law definitions can still run a big democracy?
The Court showcases how a trail is lead taking into consideration the lifestyle of the accused, the defending lawyer, the prosecutor, My Lord (Judge) & the game of dates…
A good lesson to be learnt is a man of supreme powers to give justice is also a human believing in the superstition of numerology & even he can be wrong to judge when he slaps the boy who just has no voice to shout.
The direction & the screenplay take all the credit. The court though acclaimed by various awards was still not able to pull the crowd at the Box Office.
To understand a cinema like “Court” one needs to know that filmmaking is not just item songs, dancing & heropanti but a class to showcase your dreams to reality.
Chaitanya Tamhane, you have increased your own responsibility by delivering a masterpiece in the first attempt. Wish to see many more from you.
