Watch Welcome to Sajjanpur Story
The seasoned, award winning and acclaimed director Shyam Benegal, who had all along been known for intense soul searching films, comes out with a simply superb mindful comedy which tells the story of a bunch of villagers, their hopes, fears, aspirations and anxieties.
We empathise with many of the characters for the simple reason that we come across such characters every day of our lives. Their stories are told from through a letter writer without any stylistic cinematic techno-gimmiks.
Instead of giving any synopsis of the film an introduction of the various characters is given. This film is in the episodic cinema genre, but all tracks are skillfully interwoven into an attractive plait.
The entire film unfolds in the village of Sajjanpur village. The players are Mahadev (Shreyas Talpade) a wannabe novelist but settling down to a professional letter-writer at the post office. His regular customers are a plotting politician (Yashpal Sharma), a superstitious mother (Ila Arun) eager to get her daughter (Divya Dutta) married, a eunuch(Ravi Jhankal) with political ambitions, a married woman (Amrita Rao) whose husband has not come to the village since last four years and a hospital compounder (Ravi Kishan) in love with a widow (Rajeshwari Sachdeva).
The film explores each character and its trials and travails. The letter writer sometimes takes liberties and does certain things to help his clients, which most of the time end up otherwise. ...........
