Aakrosh Review

Aakrosh is about honour killing. Well its one of those themes wherein we all have to go for
arranged marriage in our own caste. The bride and the groom's faith is decided by the caste. Both
a girl and a boy should marry in their respective castes. If they dont then their caste people will kill
them to keep the honour of the caste. These people wont let the other caste not that certain
people went out of the caste ans got married which is a shame to that caste. Now if the caste is
the same then the horoscopes are matched. If the horoscopes match, then the families of the girl
and the boy meet. And if they like each other's family background after a brief investigtion from
both the sides then the girl and the boy are allowed to meet for the first time.

The criteria for the girl are very stringent. She has to be good looking. She should not be
physically challenged. She should be proefficient in all the household work. She should be a
virgin and should not sleep with any man untill after marriage. Otherwise marriages get wrecked.
And there are no rules for the boys. This is what is heart breaking to me. They can fuck any
number girls before and after marriages becuase they are the MALES, the superior sex of our
country. And if all the above tests are cleared then the marriage takes place. Many of the times,
the boy and girl meet each other on the first night and are forced to make love even if they dont
want to. But most of the arranged marriages do not work. Because the main ingredient in the
marital status is missing and that is LOVE.

If love does not exist thn its just a court of law's piece of paper and people regret it and keep it
grudging for their rest of their lives. This is the main reason why majority of the arraqnged
marriages end up into divorces or there is an agreement that both of them will be in a live in
relationship with the persons they love. So the best thing for the bride and the groom is to get
engaged in an arranged marriage and then prolong the marriage for about a year or so without
seeing the horroscope just to know each other better. Because in our culture, marriages are a
lifetime relationship.

In a marriage the boy has to be best husband, the closest frnd and the best father to their kids
and the girl has to be the best wife, mother to the her husband sometimes becuase after marriage
their wife is their center of attarction and the wife should be so efficient that even if he is safe in
her arms even though he cries, best frnd and mother th their kids. In every act that the husband
does, the wife has to be supportive in his career, family planning, any plans for his kids. Marriage
is a teamwork wherin both the husband and the wife be supportive to each others activities,
feelings, needs, and collectively run their own family based on trust, friendship and love.

The failure of arranaged marriages leads to a live in relationship. In a live in relationship, both the
persons enjoy sex without commitment. They wnat to enjoy each other merely physically and
make no committments. But then in the long run either of the couple starts expecting things from
the other like marriage, kids etc and thats where the live in relationship ends resulting in two
young talented, intelligent, modern youth of India in the dark dungeon of Depression. And if
during the relationship the girl gets pregnant then she is blamed fully for it because the guy just
wanted to ahve sex not kids in that relationships. But in such relationships, both the guys and the
girls are at such an age that they are easily get dragged into depression.

I am totally against this whole concept of honor killing and the arranged marraige thing. The
reason being that I dont believe that the couple should marry if they dont love each other and see
a bright future in each other. They should believe in each other more than worrying that their
horroscopes will match or not. Marriage is carefully choosing one's life partner in the present
tense so that the rest of the life is easy in the future tense because one is already in love with his
or her spouse. Why should a someone marry that person whom he doesnt like to talk even. Thats
mind boggling.

What if the begining few years in a marriage are successful and the after years are dreadful that
both of them end up in live in relationshhips.
The main reason for the live in relationship to be popular amongst the young generation of India
is the phobia of arranged marriages, the fear of the honour killing and ecoming outcaste. Well
becoming outcaste is not an insult and truly speaking if tomorrow every one has an intercaste on
intercultural marriage then the whole caste will destroy itself.

What have we learnt after 60 years of Indian independence is what this movie is showing. Such a
grace. If today Gandhiji would be alive we would have killed him the instant he was born because
he wanted to eradicate castecism. And here we are performing honour killing to save the honour
of our caste. Its a viciuos circle that has to be brkoen. Releasing of such a movie is a shame to
us. We have disgrace Gandhiji on this matter of honour killing. We dont deserve to call him OUR
FATHER OF THE NATION.

Overall the movie was fantastic. Fabulous acting done by Ajay Devgn, Akshay Khanna, Bipaasha
Basu and Paresh Rawal. The selection of the set and the appropriate use of light, sound and the
dark effect are immensely impressive. The act of honour killing is very precisely dramatised.

When the thre guys are abducted from the isolated place, the people living nearby that area
would not help because if they would help they would get killed. The reason being the girl is the
daughter of the head of the panchaayat in that village and always bribing the police. So the police
can do illicit bussiness of killing and man slaughtring the common man and the politicians briibe
them with money and posts like DSP, ASP etc. Its the most shitty game being played by the
politicians and the security of this nation so the common man's complaints are never heard and
he suffers a lot at the end of the day. And even the court of Law is bribed so that the police and
the politicians are on bail and can do whatever they want and be the same assholes the moment
they are out of the court. So the woan in the end kills them all.

Well I am not with that lady but there is actually no way out for the common man to get justice. So
she is right. But had the police and the politicians been cooperative and sensible the common
man does not be that hostile. Now the situation is no one listens to the common man and when
he picks up the weapons they (politicians and the police) encounter him saying he was a terrorist.

This is the main reason why the cream of India dont want to go for IAS, Army, Political Science
instead they would prefer to be a clerk in a bank or a simple poen, and be the master in hs own
field say Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Medical Sciece, Architecture. earn his living, fulfil his family
needs and relax. And if his talents are not recognised here then he will move ab\road earn his
name and the India will say that yes this Mr. X is an Inadian and we are proud of him because he
is one of us. So hw do you expect the parents sending their kids on the 15th August and 26th
January to hoist our Tricolour??? That way the Canadians are better atleast they value their
common man's life. N the Palestinians are great because even if 13 poeple are killed by Isrealis
they will kill 50 showing their utmost concern for the common man.
