It was one of those days in college when all that you do the entire day is bunk classes, soak up the sun, eat what’s affordable and pilfer what’s not. A day my parents hugely dreaded before they sent me to the hostel. But we had our own version of the day, along with the aforementioned gallivanting we also sank deep into discussion about yesteryears unfairness. The fact that men looked down upon us and that relationships back then either had no purpose or just the obvious, lead one of us to mention the movie Bazaar. A movie that changed our point of view and made us reduce our hatred-overload for men. Yeah we belong to a self-acclaimed gang who use to take pride in calling themselves ‘The men haters’. A view which was mortal.
Najma and Salim are in love, but share what was unlikely in those times, a platonic relationship as Salim (Naseeruddin Shah) is a deep thinker and wants women like Najma (Smita Patil) have no reason to be dependent on men and should rather be independent. Another couple Sarju and Shabnam (Supriya Pathak) are in love and want to get married. Shabnam’s father plays the good old romance killer when he decides to get her married to an old, wealthy man who wishes to marry her. Sarju (Farooq Shaikh) devastated by the thought of separation tries to convince her father and also her future husband. What follows is unpredictable and so heavy that it becomes responsible in changing their course of life forever.
I leave you with the hows and whys because the punch of the movies doesn’t lie only in spilling the beans but is uniformly spread throughout the movie. It is a movie ahead of its times and activates one’s thoughtful mode. The movie did make us re-view our point-of-view about men and their ways. That they can believe in the individuality of a woman and that they can fight for the one they love were reasons that the movie gave us to believe in global goodness.
