Summer 2007
Director: Suhail Tatari
Yes, the summer of 2008 has already commenced but the director may have begun making this film last year, so he has titled it as 'Summer of 2007'. Besides, Mumbai rains are harsh and long enough and prompt everyone to move out of the town during this season. Hence, the director has chosen this season for weaving his story around this time of the year. Anyway, the debut director along with his producer deserves our thanks for choosing a noble story for filming! As usual, the college youths plan a vacation to Goa though officially they are assigned to work as interns in a village hospital in Maharashtra. The village is notorious for farmer suicides. The students aren't aware of it until the village doctor Mukya played by Ashutosh Rana brings the piteous plight of the poverty-struck people to them. Thus, Suhail Tatari has proved his directorial credentials in his first movie itself. First, he chooses a nice plot and then an equally competent cast. Undoubtedly, Ashutosh Rana has performed excellently well, and Sikander Kher has shown his maturity in the craft even during his short Prosshant Narayanan has done well, too, in his role. Gul Panag, Arjan and Uvika have also fared well. Alekh's quest to lose his virginity has been annoying the audience. Other strengths of the movie are a score by AR Rahman. Though the movie isn't a high profile one, but it has succeeded in its task of infotainment. |
