If you are a film lover and love the nuances of film-making, then ‘Bandook’ is definitely a creative treat; both visually as well as content-wise. The story of the film is about power and politics. It's about a festival that comes once in five years - Chunav (elections). This sums up the film in totality. But the preparation for this festival always begins five years in advance and goes on till Election Day. The flick looks closely at the marriage of crime and politics. It portrays how a gun is the one device that is closely linked between the two and how ordinary people with extraordinary dreams are used and abused by the powerful politicians for their own gain. It shows the rise of an ordinary boy (who is the illegitimate son of a powerful politician), who joins hands with a rival politician to get even with life. Aditya also weaves in a love angle so subtly that it stands out like a story on its own. A love story where no words are exchanged but only body language displayed. On the whole, it's a Prakash Jha type of cinema with all the trappings of power and politics and ambition but without the gloss. A must watch!
