‘Kapata Nataka Sutradhari’ Movie Review: Dhirj MV Debut with a brave political satire

In dhiraj mV Capta Nataka Sutradhari, A 1000 year old temple, known for the production of miracles, opens only twice a year. Despite claiming such a particular temple, the fictional city Raya Baga is a surprisingly quiet place, or rather, it is a dazed city, because there is no one to complain of the absence of a toilet of a transgender woman, or why there is only one school in the entire village.

There is a Hindu-Muslim struggle for the village to come alive. At the center of the dispute is a Muslim man Mohammad Ismail (played by Dhirraj), who gets trapped below an elephant statue. It is believed that people who crawl under the idol will be fulfilled. Excess weight risks to follow the Ismail ritual, and is stuck under the idol.

All hells become loose when he reveals his identity. Naturally, people are divided about the situation, with a group to be vocal about the safety of Ismail, while others are outspokenly behind the protection of the idol from destruction.

Capta Nataka Sutradhari It explains how religion is used as a political tool by power-land. The character Abhirma, who nurses political ambitions, feels an opportunity and fuel communal discord.

In a 90 -minute film, Dheeraj populated his screenplay with strong characters. Apart from the wicked -minded Abhirma, the film has a young woman with her own mind. In a backward city, it is fresh to see her wishes with her potential husband. A perennial drunk man who spits the facts is also a hoot. He represents many homeless strangers in villages who are more intelligent than appearance.

The satirical point in writing is at the point. My favorite is when a YouTuber is ridiculed as a free internet product. Capta Nataka Sutradhari TRP-Obsessed Television takes fast potshots in media, which reminds us of Hindi film Peepli live (2010). The idea, which works brilliantly to an extent, becomes the undone of the film, when the director gets trapped with the exploitation of the media being ill, which is moving away from the main concept of religious harmony. With a political and religious satire, the film suddenly becomes a media satire.

A turn shows how people in the authority are ineffective and bias in handling religious conflicts. Capta Nataka Sutradhari The best functions when it subtle refers to the current state of cases. Despite proposing a possible consideration to ensure both – Ismail’s safety and idol remains – the situation in the film is the same, showing how people are peaceful to contest and quarrel rather than co -existence. And the elephant statue, perhaps, reflects our flawed system. While an innocent like Ismail gets stuck below it, Bhola -Bhala is brainwashed with the interests contained by powerful people.

After handling a sensitive subject for most films, Dheeraj threw his hands up in climax. He opposed to an ideal, idealist finish, reducing the impact of the film. The climax shows how filmmakers are worried about their films being drawn from theaters. Films with important topics for convenient climax to avoid censorship troubles.

Said that, Capta Nataka Sutradhari There is a promising beginning for Dhiraj, which also makes a mark as a writer. The film speaks of the temple ability to give miracles. Finally, you are witness to a miracle, very good to be true.
