The film has no politics. Its message is simply the devastating consequences of the politics of mindless violence for the innocents. This can happen anywhere, in any country under any political system. Narendra Modi is just one example. The name of the movie, Parzania, is a fictional place where there is no pain or violence and only happiness prevails. The wrenching contrast with reality everywhere today only serves to highlight the childlike innocence that is destroyed everyday by human greed - in Gujarat, Bombay, Kabul, Kigali, Darfur, Baghdad, Haiti or a dozen other places. To look at Parzania merely as an anti-Modi message is to ignore the universal tragedy at its core - innocent people are increasingly vulnerable every day, and only when they stand up and speak out for themselves, like Parzan's mother does at the end, will there be any hope. The message is that Parzania the place is a fictional utopia, but the way to Parzania lies through victory over our own fears. You cannot live in fear and hope to see Parzania.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785026800121216146.post-70030987661651126622007-06-07T13:57:00.000-07:002007-06-07T13:57:00.000-07:00Dipta that was like - "Dekho, Socho, Samazho, aaj ...Dipta that was like - "Dekho, Socho, Samazho, aaj ye ladka chingari..kal bada hoke samako jala diya to kya karega" (accompanied by a HUGE open mouth expecting a severe beating in near future).<BR/><BR/>I have to say this, Deepak Shirke plays a gangstar in ECKLL with an eye for "Chiknas". So, he gags and ties up Abhay Deol, and goes to a treadmill to warm himself up before the action. Freaking awesome..This scene deserves a very special mention in movie history, just as much as that train scene in "Sholay".Nilenduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405855729781763171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6785026800121216146.post-57944993386090687562007-06-07T10:40:00.000-07:002007-06-07T10:40:00.000-07:00Oh boy!

Not trying to be racist or things like that, but it is difficult to think of a better name once you see him moving onscreen.<BR/><BR/>My alltome favorite Shirke role is "Ishq".
