Movie Lakshya-Looking away from common perspective




Some times its feels logical to go back in time and analyze the concepts behind the movies that were released a decade ago. Actually these movies are a kind of inspiration, even though they didn’t do good business on box office. So, here I am watching Lakshya and putting light on some thoughts that engulfed my mind watching this movie.
For most viewers this movie might be a motivation to do something big in their lives or to even join the Indian Army. But, while looking at the motivational aspect of this movie, we missed to pay notice to some other realities. I know Lakshya is more about realizing the efforts that army personnel put for safeguarding its country. But, let put some time into analyzing some things that we didn’t realized almost 10 years ago while watching this movie.

Make-up can make you look a lot younger than your actual age

Everybody knows that…. But, Hritik Roshan or, for that matter, Mr Big B in this movie are the live examples. Recall the look of Hritik at the time when he was dumped by his girlfriend for dumping the only best decision he took in the movie-turning into a nation lover Lieutenant. My God!!! The man looked as if he was 21. Or, think how dashing Mr Bachchan looked in the role of a serving Army general when his actual age at that time was somewhere between 65 and 70. Make changes your looks…..hence proved.

Much as it is easy to witness the life in army on TV, it is difficult to live

You all would agree with it. Only the parents with a strong heart and with a desire to do something for their nation can let their child take admission in the Army. Even the hard hearted father, the role played by Boman Irani in this movie, could not agree to his son serving in the India army-call it ego or insecurity!! You have to accept your partners dying in the battle fields, staying away from your family during Diwali and put your country on the top of everything…. Not everybody can do that.

I know you readers might not have paid any heed to these points… Now you can….
