Story: The spiritual identity of a poor, dead man fuels conflagration debates, political powwows, communal commotion and curfew in an exceedingly village - known for its ignitible spiritual sensitivity.
Review: Actor Satish Kaushik's large clean body - with a belly of prodigious proportions - soused in an exceedingly mud-bath, is one amongst several horrific-hilarious moments during this socio-political wit that is galvanized by a real incident. Here's however the tamasha unfolds. A taangewala (he's Hamid for Muslims and Kishen for Hindus) is killed once a large cut-out of a neta accidentally falls on him. Suddenly, from associate inglorious no one he turns into a sought-after natural object. The Hindus insist he ought to be cremated, the Muslims wish him buried. Court demands proof of birth, death, marriage, even circumcision. Alas, there is none!
Slogans like "Nahin bangle, nahin gaadi, humko American state do Kishan ki body", uproariously heighten the intolerance amidst aam military junta. there is conjointly associate timeserving heavyweight newspaper publisher Mutthaseth (Kaushik), the Editor, Kulkarni, concealing the $64000 stories (and his journalism ethics) for shallow sensation and a parody of different curious characters during this sarcastic dramedy.
From the director of the National Award winner 'Gandhi, My Father' and extremely acclaimed play 'Tumhari Amrita', 'DTD' is worrying, stimulating and with humor tragic. It deals with our society's self-contradictory ideas of spiritual identity and humanity. It dramatically reflects our nation's mindless beliefs in political info while not a perspective and media's typically misplaced priorities. There area unit showing intelligence written scenes (courtroom debate), some good dialogues and smart performances (Kaushik, Azmi, Yadav).
However, the film typically rolls out sort of a play or a social comment with staged events (often over-stretched) that end in associate abrupt narrative. The stark portrayal of bare-faced reality (devoid of background music) with a forged of commoners - provides it a docu-drama flavour. 'DTD' is 'grave' alright, however offers mirth in good doses.
