Now I couldn't watch this film on the big screen because I was busy with travel last year and so couldn't reach a cinema hall. And when I could, the film was off. Usually my husband doesn't want to come for films with me, so I guess it all worked out okay in the end.
I bought the VCDs today - courtesy Moserbaer it only cost me Rs 99. I don't even have to worry about piracy issues since I've bought the original.
The film was okay - I plan to send it to my sister to watch. It tells about the media wars between two prominent news channels - India 24X7 and Headline (or something to that effect). It shows just how badly the media has become a money grossing business, and how most news channels are not interested in the truth - just in making money, like any corporate house. So take what the media says with a pinch of salt. That is the end message.
It is well made - though in certain scenes the camera direction left much to be desired. I'm not a fan of the wavering camera. I thought the character development was good, but you jump right into everything.
All in all interesting. I'm glad I spent my Saturday watching it.
