Facts of the Case –

Kishori Lal Sahu is the owner of property ‘A’ and Kaleshwar Prasad Singh is a tenant on the said property.

On 5th August 1977 Kishori Lal Singh the Owner & His Son due to dire need of funds executed a conditional sale deed in favour of Indira Devi (Vendee) d/o Kaleshwar the tenant. The condition was that the Vendee would pay Rs. 5000 as consideration to the Vendor, and if this Rs. 5000 is not returned by the Vendor by July 1984, the Vendee will become the owner of the property, and if the money is paid back, the Vendee will have to execute a sale deed of the property in favour of the Vendor that is to return the property.

On 14th February 1983 Kishori Lal executed a registered gift deed whereby he gifted number of properties to Veena Gupta (Respondent No. 1) the Daughter in Law of Kishori Lal and Wife of Gopal Prasad. The number of properties gifted contained the property in question where it was mentioned that the said property was transferred to Indira Devi, which can be retrieved by fulfilling conditions, that is to pay Rs. 5000 by July 1984. The Gift Deed was executed in 1983.

The Vendors that is Kishori Lal was ready to pay Rs. 5000, but the Vendees didn't agree and a civil suit was filed in 1983 in a Trial Court.

Plea by Respondent (Plaintiff in that suit) in Trial Court 1983: Special Performance Decree requiring Indira Devi/Kaleshwar (Defendant there) to accept Rs. 5000 and return the property, and if there is no performance, a decree directing appellant to register the sale deed in favour of Veena Gupta (Kishori Lal 2nd Plaintiff) with possession.

Representations in the Supreme Court:

Appellants (Indira Devi):

Kishori Lal executed the conditional deed in favour of Indira. And thus the right of repurchasing the property lies with Kishori Lal as the said right is personal. Stating he had no right to assign the right to third party.

Gift Deed executed is not valid as it contains consideration to be paid for obtaining the said property.

Judgements in the following cases: Bhoju Mandal v. Debnath Bhagat, Kapilaben vs. Ashok Kumar Jayantilal Sheth; were cited for supporting the case.

Respondents (Veena Gupta):

In the Gift Deed it is specifically mentioned that how donee may obtain the property by performing the promise of the contract/deed. 'She will have all the rights which Kishori Lal had'.

When as per the contract the vendor (Kishori Lal, non-deceased at the time of original suit of 1983 / Veena Gupta) was to give Rs. 5000 for repurchase, the vendor was willing to give but the consideration was not accepted by Indira Devi, thus to complete their part of promise Vendor deposited Rs. 5000 with Court of Original Suit with its permission.

The condition precedent for the repurchase was thus completed, and Kishori Lal assigned the right to repurchase to Veena Gupta through Gift deed.

To counter that the right of repurchase was personal, following judgements were cited for support: T.M. Balakrishna Mudaliar vs. M. Satyanarayana Rao, Shyam Singh vs Daryao Singh. It was contested that the right was assignable and not personal. And even if the Court would deal with the issue sensitively, the party assigned to was not any third party rather it was a party from the family of Kishori Lal himself.

Law & Analysis

Following are the Issues to be answered by us on the basis of facts of the case, representations made, and previous judgements:

Is the Gift deed valid?

Is the right of repurchase assignable or personal?

1. Will first begin with the validity of Gift Deed:

Gift is defined under Section 122 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 as: Gift is the transfer of certain existing moveable or immoveable property made voluntarily and *without consideration*, by one person, called the donor, to another, called the donee, and accepted by or on behalf of the donee.

Under the Transfer of Property Act Immovable Property is defined to mean anything except standing timber, growing crops or grass. Further interpretation of other definitions of other acts include Land, Things attached to earth and benefits , Benefits to arise from land. If further studied a Right if related to movable or immovable properties then a Right related to Immovable Property becomes a immovable property. Even if we consider it a movable property it can still be gifted through a gift deed.

Thus it is agreeable that in this case in the gift deed the Property 'Physical' in Question is not gifted, rather the right to repurchase to same is transferred. The consideration comes in question when dealing with the physical actual property in question. The donee didn't have to pay any consideration for the right which was transferred.

2. Is the right to repurchase personal or can be assigned?

To begin with, we must look into the contract itself that is its clauses, content and intention of the parties which may be based of the language of the contract or the circumstances preceding or at the time when the contract was executed.

-  In our case on the basis of the part of the sale deed presented before the High Court the deed didn't specifically contain any clauses prohibiting the assignment of the right of repurchase.

-  At first, although it is not strictly related to our case, but we must look at Section 40 of the Indian Contracts Act to ascertain whether a promise or performance is personal: 'If it appears from the nature of the case that it was the intention of the parties to any contract that any promise contained in it should be performed by the promisor himself, such promise must be performed by the promisor. In other cases, the promisor or his representatives may employ a competent person to perform it.' Thus if a promise is of a nature that only the promisor has the ability to perform or skills then it can be performed only by the promisor.

Assignability of Contractual Rights or Obligations:

Under Indian Law any type of contract can be assigned except those specifically prohibiting the same or which are of personal nature. In the case of Kapilaben v. Ashok Kumar Jayantilal Sheth the Supreme Court observed that when entire promise or perfomance of one party towards the other are transferred to third party, then the consent of the promisee is required but when assigning just the rights or obligations to another doesn't require consent except when it is not of personal nature or if it is not specifically prohibited.

To stress on this point we will look at some of the cases cited by the counsels of the present case:

1. T.M. Balakrishna Mudaliar vs. M. Satyanarayana Rao –

The Court refered to the judgement in the case of Sakalaguna Nayadu v. Chinna Munuswami Naykar where in the Privy Council held that if the contract of repurchase did not specifically say that such benefit was only for the parties contracting, then the contract can be assigned and would be enforceable by law.

2. Shyam Singh vs Daryao Singh –

The facts of the stated case were somewhat similar to those of the present case. Lower courts opined that if there is no clause in the sale deed permitting assignment, then prohibition of the same can be read into the contract. When the matter came to Supreme Court the issue at point was considered whether such a prohibition can be read into the document by implication. The court by citing Section 15(b) of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 held that in absence of words indicating prohibition in the contract, then such prohibition cannot be read into the terms of documents.

Section 15 (b) of Specific Relief Act, 1963 stipulates that specific performance of a contract may be obtained by the representative in interest or the principal thereto: Except if it is of personal nature.

The Court was fortified with the view stated in the above cases by the Justices.

3. Bhoju Mandal v. Debnath Bhagat –

The Court considered this case, but the case primarily was concerned with the question whether document was mortgage or sale deed with condition of repurchase.

4. Kapilaben v. Ashok Kumar Jayantilal Sheth –

In this case issue was transfer/assignment of contract was without the consent of the promisee. The Court referred to judgement in Khardah Co. Ltd v. Raymon & Co. wherein the Court held that there was a well-recognized distinction between two classes of assignments which are assignment of rights in a contract and assignment of obligations in a contract. While the total assignment of contract that is substituting a party by a new party with consent/agreement of both original parties is called novation, where on novation there is no link between the old party and the new/amended contract, in such a case as said consent is required.

But when considering assignment of just the rights under a contract consent of the promisee is not strictly required that is the rights are freely assignable unless the contract prohibits it.

The Court in the present case also referred to a commentary on The Indian Contract Act & Special Relief Act by authors Pollock and Mulla, wherein the authors opine that the benefits of contract can be assigned where it makes no difference to the person on whom the obligation lies to which of two person (original or asignee) he is to discharge it. That is where the identity of the party on which the obligation is to be discharged makes no difference to the promisee (one who has obligations), provided the original promisor has effected such assignment willingly, then such contract is prima facie assignable, except in case of personal consideration. Of course payment of money does not involve personal consideration/skills.

Thus, the Court in this present case held that the right was not personal rather freely assignable in absence of bar in contract.

Conclusion:

We can conclude simply that:

1. Non-assignability cannot be implied into contract if it doesn't specifically mention it.

2. Rights under a contract when not of a personal nature can be assigned freely without consent, except barred.

3. Gift of a interest in immovable property irrespective of consideration involved in further exercise of the right is valid as there is no apparent consideration for the right itself.

SATANTRA VEER SAVARKAR Review: A Different Side Of The Partition

One of India’s greatest character actors, Randeep Hooda, finally turns director with a bio-pic on an Indian revolutionary titled Satantra Veer Savarkar. The film depicts the life of one of the many people who fought for India’s liberation from the British occupation. With his first directorial feature, Hooda chooses a difficult topic and manages to tell a compelling story, that works on many levels, despite his inexperience. To know if the movie is worth a watch, read on for my Satantra Veer Savarkar review.  Please note that this Satantra Veer Savarkar review is critiquing the film as a fictional story and a self-contained work, and not analyzing any potential historical inaccuracies, or liberties taken with real-world events.  Randeep Hooda Turns Director With Satantra Veer Savarkar   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2bydFTTV9U Randeep Hooda is one of India’s most underrated actors. The immensely talented actor has proven his talent from his debut in Ramgopal Varma movies. And has gone on since to carve a name for himself as a great supporting actor in some of Bollywood's biggest films. Having worked with the best of the best himself as an actor, Hooda gets behind the camera here, multi-tasking as a co-writer and producer of Santantra Veer Savarkar. And as a debut goes, it works.  The movie is about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, one of the earliest men who began the fight for India’s independence from the British during their Raj. The movie even posits that some of India’s biggest revolutionaries, like Bhagat Singh, were inspired by Savarkar’s ideologies. The biopic is a complicated subject, given that the man himself had a varied life during a time that defined India for generations to come. And despite some initial stumbling with pacing and editing, Hooda does a great job with it. While I still think the movie is way too long, it never felt tedious or dragging. I’m curious to see what else Hooda can do behind the camera.  Satantra Veer Savarkar Review Will Contain Some Spoilers The film is very much the conventional bio-pic, but this one does something very interesting with it. Savarkar is shown as a young man who wants India’s independence from a young age. However, at the height of his rebellion, he is imprisoned for life. So the story of Savarkar the man, is happening parallel to the progress of India’s as a country. But with him in the background, unable to actively contribute or participate in the revolution he was one of the earliest to start.  This angle of the story also makes Savarkar a spectator for much of this fight. As things in the real world progress in ways he disagrees with, he has no opportunity to influence them from prison. It’s an interesting viewpoint that you don’t necessarily think of when you think of a story about rebellion and defiance. But that’s how this movie kind of stands out from the rest.  Satanrtra Veer Savarkar Review Differentiates From The Rest Despite my enjoyment of the movie, there are definitely moments when Hooda’s inexperience sticks out. There are times when some lines of dialogue or reactions seem cringey or a little inorganic. Certain emotional moments are way too big and over the top. Some aspects of the story feel criminally underdeveloped. For example, Savarkar’s wife Yamuna Bai (Ankita Lokhande) stands by her revolutionary husband, for over 30 years of their marriage, most of which he was in prison for. However, she has barely 5 lines of dialogue in the 3-hour movie. There is also a lack of motivation for Savarkar’s passion. Outside of a scene in his youth where his dying father tells him to leave all this revolutionary business, the movie never explores the reasons behind Savarkar’s intense ideologies.  But even these complaints are kind of smoothed over, by how Hooda tells the story. There are times when the movie feels like an epic mythological tale about this great man and his sacrifice. And for the most part, those weird and abstract moments really work. For example, a scene where an interaction with others turns into a stage play monologue with a spotlight on Hooda as he seemingly plays to the camera as Savarkar defines a new Hindutva concept for audiences.  So in those moments the atmosphere of melodrama and excess works, given how stage plays or epic dramas usually have to play to the back of the theatre. Once I realized that this kind of approach to the story was intentional, things kind of clicked.  This Movie Is Not For Everyone Even though I enjoyed the movie, with my intermediate knowledge of India’s history and Partition, Satantra Veer Savarkar will not be a movie that everyone can enjoy. The story doesn’t spend any time explaining to audiences the current state of India. There is no CGI text in the beginning explaining that India was a British Colony conquered and enslaved by the British for decades. So without that context, Indian characters showing passion and intensity for their ‘motherland’, while also rage and aggression at the White characters, will feel a little odd. And then you get into the political nuances of the time and all the various factors that led to the division of the country into India and Pakistan during the British exit.  Audiences that have some brief knowledge of Indian history may be able to piece it all together. Especially as the movie does feature some appearances by India’s biggest historical figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah and more. However, those names will mean nothing to audiences not familiar with history. Given that Satantra Veer Savarkar is mostly for Indian audiences, the lack of accessibility complaints may not be as big an issue.  Randeep Hooda The Actor Is Awesome! While Satantra Veer Savarkar definitely has some issues, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie for one big reason; the film does takes a big departure from the usual stories about India’s freedom. It also doesn’t side with one ideology over another. If anything, it does idolize the man it's based on but doesn’t push any one specific political narrative.  Most Bollywood movies with a story about India’s independence or partition almost always showcase a side. The movies feature nationalistic pride in India, while Pakistan is demonized as the bad guys. However, what I liked about Satantra Veer Savarkar is that the ending was more of a tragic end than a victorious celebration. Savarkar is shown as being against the division of the country based on religion and is very affected when it happens. Given how things ended up working in real life after the Partition, the movie makes it seem like Savarkar saw it coming. And in that way, the story is very moving and compelling.  Satantra Veer Savarkar Review Recommends The Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ35e5RhHKk Hooda is much better on camera than behind here, and his sheer will of acting brilliance almost wills the movie to become interesting when it does slow down. Hooda again transforms his body to play the more brutal scenes in imprisonment, but it’s not the transformation that’s impressive, it’s Hooda's commitment to the role and performance. Everything from his posture, body language, and micro expressions is so good that I completely lost Hooda the actor in the role and just saw this complicated person. It’s a powerful performance in a movie that doesn’t entirely match the same energy. But I still think it’s a must-watch for fans of independence films, or biopics that feature a more theatrical approach to the story.  Satantra Veer Savarkar is currently streaming on ZEE5 GLOBAL.  What did you think of Randeep Hooda the director? Let me know in the comments below. Or reach out to me on X (formerly Twitter) at @theshahshahid for all things Bollywood. Read the full article

Man sentenced to death for killing Parents: Facts and Laws

This article on 'Man sentenced to death for killing Parents: Facts and Laws' was written by Tuba Sanobar, an intern at Legal Upanishad.

Man sentenced to death for killing Parents:

A 47-year-old man was found guilty of killing his parents at their home in 2018 and was given the death penalty by a court in Chhattisgarh's Durg District, describing the incident as one of the "rarest of the rare." In a 310-page judgment, Additional Sessions Judge Shailesh Kumar Tiwari decided the death penalty for the man and expressed that only the death penalty will be the appropriate punishment for the convict so that no one ever dares again to commit such a grave offence of murdering his parents. Let us now discuss the facts of the case and the relevant laws regarding it.

Facts of the Case

Sandip Jain killed his mother Surji Devi (67) and father Rawalmal Jain (72), both of whom were well-known businesspeople and social workers in Durg, on January 1. Sandip was the only person present in the house at the time of the incident besides the two deceased, so police detained him based on circumstantial evidence. The father-son duo's disagreements over a number of topics, including property, were proven in court. According to reports, one of the problems was that the accused did not like it when his father asked him to fetch water from the nearby Sheonath river to perform rituals at a temple in their home. The police reported that Sandip killed his parents out of fear that they would reject him. Sandip was found guilty of murder under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code by the court after hearing the arguments and examining the evidence. The Indian Penal Code's Section 302 addresses the penalty for murder.  Murder is punishable by death or life in prison. The other two defendants, Bhagat Singh Gurudatta and Shailendra Sagar, who had given Sandip a gun, received five years in solitary confinement as well as a fine of Rs 1,000 each.

What does the law say about the maintenance of parents?

In addition to being a moral obligation, maintaining parents is a legal obligation as set forth in the Criminal Procedure Code of 1973 and the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act of 2007. These clauses are unavoidable and can be applied when children neglect to care for their parents. Along with the wife and children, parents are entitled to maintenance under Section 125 of the 1973 Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). The maintenance rights of the mother and father are expressly provided for in CrPC Section 125(1)(d).  According to Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a wife, children, and parents may ask their husband, father, and children for support, as appropriate. According to Section 125, the maintenance provision, if a son or daughter refuses maintenance of parents and they lack any means of income to support themselves, the appropriate courts may order maintenance and welfare of parents. For each instance of failure to pay maintenance to parents, the Magistrate may issue a warrant for that person's arrest and/or place them in jail for up to one month or until payment is made, whichever comes first. The Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act of 2007 is another piece of legislation.  It specifically addresses all issues pertaining to the upkeep and welfare of parents through financial assistance as well as the creation of old age homes for elderly people without children or parents who have been neglected.  

Man sentenced to death for killing Parents: Facts and Laws

Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007

A provision in Section 23 of the 2007 Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act allows for the nullification of specific property transfers. It primarily shields senior citizens from financial fraud committed by those with fiduciary responsibilities.  For instance, a senior citizen might give away his or her property to someone else with the only requirement that the beneficiary meets his or her basic physical needs. The transfer will be deemed to have occurred fraudulently, coercively, or under undue influence in such a situation, and at the senior citizen's discretion, it may be declared void. Senior citizens (those over 60) and parents of any age are covered by the Act for the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents. Maintenance orders can be obtained against children or any relative who is the senior citizen's legal heir. The Act also mentions the State Government for establishing a Maintenance Tribunal.  Parents can hire family lawyers to help them understand the situation, but they do not necessarily need one while the matter is before the Maintenance Tribunal. The maintenance application process must be completed within 90 days of serving notice on the children/relatives.  An extension of 30 days may be given in case of exceptional circumstances.

Can parents demand maintenance from sons?

Yes, the law allows parents to seek maintenance from their sons and daughters if they are unable to support themselves. In the case of Dr. (Mrs.) Vijaya Manohar Arbat v. Kashi Rao Rajaram Savai and others, the court ruled that "a father or mother, unable to maintain himself or herself, can claim maintenance from his or her son or daughter." The phrase "his father or mother" refers to both the father and mother of a child, not just the father or mother of a son. Both sons and daughters have a moral and legal obligation to look out for and support their parents. If this obligation is not met, parents may knock on the doors of maintenance tribunals to demand payment from their children for their monthly expenses. If the children's parents don't pay their maintenance as required by the Act, they risk being imprisoned for three months or longer. Money is not everything, though, as some people find it difficult to maintain their independence as they age and require help with daily tasks. Section 19 of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens, Act 2007 calls for the establishment of old age homes by the State Government that can house elderly people in need.

Conclusion

The CrPC and the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, impose legal obligations on children to care for their elderly parents, which includes providing for their needs.  One may end up committing the heinous crime of murdering his own parents due to some unnecessary misunderstanding and disbelief among his own parents. It is morally repugnant and violates the law at the same time. India is a morally upstanding, religious, and spiritual country. It is believed that respecting your parents is a reward-earning activity that aids kids in achieving paradise in the hereafter.

what do you think of Gandhi? I read some open eyes stuff about him lately and I want to know your opinion on him, if you don't mind of course

okay okay so it’s like... a case of the lesser of two evils? in a sense? but for the life of me, i cannot tell if what he did for the country can erase all the evil he’s done in his life. bear with me because this will be.. kind of long.

tw: racism, the holocaust, mentions of sexual assualt/r*pe

on one hand,

he beat his wife, wouldn’t sleep with her when they got old (compared her to a weak cow), and made young, underage, naked girls sleep next to him throughout the night to test his celibacy (i don’t fucking understand this— hinduism does not ask you to be a celibate after marriage. he was not a saint.)

he was misogynistic as fuck; he participated in victim shaming, supported rape culture, said honour killing was okay because a victim of sexual assault would taint her family’s honour and respect in society. he believed a woman getting harassed was her own fault.

again, about his wife, can’t tell you the shit he put her through. he refused to give her modern medicine (penicillin i think, but don’t quote me on this), ultimately leading to her death, but used modern medicine when he came down with malaria to nurse himself back to health? apparently the reasons for not giving her the medicine were ‘religious’. religion doesn’t apply to gandhi, it seems

GANDHI WAS RACIST. while in south africa he actively supported the apartheid regime, said he was treated badly because he was an indian all while treating black people like scum (said that black africans were savages and ‘living a life of nakedness’, was hellbent on convincing the british that the indian community in south africa was better than the natives). he said jews should’ve killed themselves (public mass suicide) in the holocaust to prove a point, as they were dying anyway. he criticised them for defending themselves.

was against contraception (women who used them were whores) and menstruation was unholy and dirty.

was a baby, and hear me out on this. he went on hunger strikes the moment someone went against him— that is not how you lead. when ambedkar wanted seperate constituencies for the underprivileged (here, meaning the dalits), he declared a fast unto death until the motion was taken away. [for the record, i think seperate constituencies were the wrong way to go too, but you cannot guilt someone into dropping something they so wholeheartedly believe in. ambedkar was a dalit himself. he knew fucking better than a privileged upper class man who had the luxury to go abroad for a higher education in times when that was unthought of.]

(there’s probably more that i’m missing out on, and will find links so you can read up more)

on the other hand,

although he did not believe that the caste system should be abolished, he supported the harijans, voiced their struggles, and played a big part in reducing untouchability in the country

taught a large, vulnerable section of the youth about ahimsa (the principle of non violence) at a time where the country was in turmoil, when civil strifes, public violence, riots, etc. seemed to be the only path that led to independence

paved the way for a sort of ‘social harmony’ in india

successfully led a non violent tax revolt, the salt march to dandi, the first non cooperation movement. he had the wits to call it quits, when there was a need. he didn’t push movements that would harm others, called some movements off after the jallianwala bagh massacre.

saying that, he did make himself the figure of independence in india. [i do not believe he was the reason— i think credit should be given to bhagat singh, subhash chandra bose, sukhdev thapar. gandhi made himself the forerunner, but these are the ones who pushed the movement that brought india to independence] he became a leading figure when india had the desperate need for one, and united different fronts (religions, caste, ages) into one unified fight for the motherland.

it pains to know that this is the kind of man our country applauds, and yet, we cannot discredit what he has done for the freedom struggle. i do not think he is our saviour, but he was sure was a catalyst. having said that, he doesn’t deserve to be the man on our currency. good does not erase evil.

Review of ENT specialist Dr. ROHIT KUMAR SINGAL, FEROZEPUR

Dr. Rohit Kumar Singal is a piece of shit who molests women. While examining me he used the stethoscope on my breast. This piece of scum-bag gradually used stethoscope all over my breast. This incident is still fresh in my mind. He used the stethoscope over my nipples, then under my breasts. I sat there in front of him in shock, could not imagine this could have been happening. All the time I was looking away. This creep little bastard is dangerous and no women should go to him alone. I was 16 when this happened that makes him a peadophile. Now I know I may not be your only victim, I am giving back the pain you gave me, hoping that the people in Ferozepur are still gentry enough to destroy you on my behalf. Yes I visited him at Shahhed Bhagat Singh college at his home. His wife was in the house. I wish I could have just screamed, so that this scum bag would not have caused me so much pain.

Books in the movies shelf

While writing a piece which writer would’ve thought of it becoming a movie one day!

Writer’s write, people read and then the piece of writing grows famous among the world. It comes to the epitome of success when turned to a beautiful movie. There are many popular books that have made it to the movie shelf, for example, Sharad Chandra Chattopadhyay’s novel ‘Devdas’ gave inspiration to 3 different movies, Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Half Girlfriend’ became one of the popular story retold among the youth and many more. Does this retelling really brings the justice to the writer? Let’s see.

Hi! I am Jyoti Singh. I am writing this article to share what actually went around with the movie ‘Paheli’ which is said to be inspired from Girish Karnad’s play ‘Naga – Mandala’. I also want to share my point of view towards the topic based on my personal experience.

Paheli is a Bollywood fantasy film released in 2005 starring Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherji. The story is framed about a Rajasthani marriage of a rich merchant Bhanwarlal’s dutiful son Kishan and young Lachchi. The plot is about the wife who has been left behind by her husband right next day of marriage, who goes for a 5 years long business trip which provides an opportunity to a ghost to take his place due to his own attachment to Lachchi.  The story moves further with Lachchi’s dilemma when the husband comes back from the business trip and finds his wife pregnant.

The play ‘Naga – Mandala’ is also written among a similar plot. A beautiful girl Rani is married to rich man Apanna. After the marriage, the unfaithful husband keeps her locked inside the house while he spends all his time with a concubine in his village which provides a fair opportunity to a shape changing cobra who fell in love with Rani. The plot moves further when rani gets pregnant and Apanna accuses her for adultery and brings the case in front of village panchayat.

The plot among both the stories is comparatively very similar but the endings leaves a very different impact. In the former one Lachchi is taken to be innocent, though she knew about the presence of the ghost since the time he took her husband’s form and still not mentioned it in front of anyone as she also falls in love with him ( nobody else knows about this) and the village folks has to determine who is the real husband and who is the fake one. The movie has an ending in which the ghost manages to take over kishan’s body so that he could live with Lachchi forever. The message about the victory of love is passed out. In the later one, Rani is asked to put her hand in the cobra’s burrow, according to the famous saying, to prove her innocence which later turns her into a goddess in front of the village panchayat and Apanna is cursed for his behaviour towards her. The story comes to two different endings in which Apanna later discovers the truth which makes him realise his mistake. He accepts rani along with the child she is carrying.. The story doesn’t disclose Rani knowing about the cobra impersonating the husband in both the endings.

These two very similar plots have had a lot of conflict when the movie Paheli was released. Paheli was initially blamed to steal the plot from the movie Nagamandala which is the Kannada film showing the exact story of the play. Later it was said that the accusation was wrong. The movie Paheli was proved to be the remake of the 1973 old Hindi film ‘Duvidha’ by Mani Kaul. Duvidha is based on the story written by Vijayan Detha which is similar to a Rajasthani folklore. On the other hand, Nagamandala is itself a well said myth or folklore represented in the writing by Girish karnad and named over a ritual in South Kannada.

There is always one thing or the other which links the stories together. The folklores and myths spread among the society provide a great opportunity to the writers to let the horses of their imagination run wild and come up with a fine piece of their own. They further give inspiration to great movies which are followed by various remakes and inspiring other plots as well. The chain is never ending.

The writings when turns into movies brings the reader’s imagination alive which makes them more connected towards the writer. But not every movie nowadays gives justice to the writer’s hard work. Sometimes just to add up a little bit more entertainment to the movie the director ends up losing the pure essence of the story. I am a very fond reader as well as a movie lover. According to me, Chetan Bhagat’s Half girlfriend is one of the most recent examples. As I had already read the book before the movie came up. The excitement that I had in my mind when I went to see the movie is unexplainable. I wanted to see every character coming alive. My happiness turned down when the ending was completely changed from the original story just to add more spice which somehow made me feel bad. A lot of other reader’s had a similar point of view towards the same.

In order to the books reaching to the movies shelf they go through a lot of amendments. A writer takes a very long time to refine the plot, each and every character is well thought of. Still the writer agrees upon the changes so that the plot could reach to a wider set of audience. As per being a very fond reader I fell that the sacrifice done on the writer’s part is commendable!

Thank you.

SATANTRA VEER SAVARKAR Review: A Different Side Of The Partition

One of India’s greatest character actors, Randeep Hooda, finally turns director with a bio-pic on an Indian revolutionary titled Satantra Veer Savarkar. The film depicts the life of one of the many people who fought for India’s liberation from the British occupation. With his first directorial feature, Hooda chooses a difficult topic and manages to tell a compelling story, that works on many levels, despite his inexperience. To know if the movie is worth a watch, read on for my Satantra Veer Savarkar review.  Please note that this Satantra Veer Savarkar review is critiquing the film as a fictional story and a self-contained work, and not analyzing any potential historical inaccuracies, or liberties taken with real-world events.  Randeep Hooda Turns Director With Satantra Veer Savarkar   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2bydFTTV9U Randeep Hooda is one of India’s most underrated actors. The immensely talented actor has proven his talent from his debut in Ramgopal Varma movies. And has gone on since to carve a name for himself as a great supporting actor in some of Bollywood's biggest films. Having worked with the best of the best himself as an actor, Hooda gets behind the camera here, multi-tasking as a co-writer and producer of Santantra Veer Savarkar. And as a debut goes, it works.  The movie is about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, one of the earliest men who began the fight for India’s independence from the British during their Raj. The movie even posits that some of India’s biggest revolutionaries, like Bhagat Singh, were inspired by Savarkar’s ideologies. The biopic is a complicated subject, given that the man himself had a varied life during a time that defined India for generations to come. And despite some initial stumbling with pacing and editing, Hooda does a great job with it. While I still think the movie is way too long, it never felt tedious or dragging. I’m curious to see what else Hooda can do behind the camera.  Satantra Veer Savarkar Review Will Contain Some Spoilers The film is very much the conventional bio-pic, but this one does something very interesting with it. Savarkar is shown as a young man who wants India’s independence from a young age. However, at the height of his rebellion, he is imprisoned for life. So the story of Savarkar the man, is happening parallel to the progress of India’s as a country. But with him in the background, unable to actively contribute or participate in the revolution he was one of the earliest to start.  This angle of the story also makes Savarkar a spectator for much of this fight. As things in the real world progress in ways he disagrees with, he has no opportunity to influence them from prison. It’s an interesting viewpoint that you don’t necessarily think of when you think of a story about rebellion and defiance. But that’s how this movie kind of stands out from the rest.  Satanrtra Veer Savarkar Review Differentiates From The Rest Despite my enjoyment of the movie, there are definitely moments when Hooda’s inexperience sticks out. There are times when some lines of dialogue or reactions seem cringey or a little inorganic. Certain emotional moments are way too big and over the top. Some aspects of the story feel criminally underdeveloped. For example, Savarkar’s wife Yamuna Bai (Ankita Lokhande) stands by her revolutionary husband, for over 30 years of their marriage, most of which he was in prison for. However, she has barely 5 lines of dialogue in the 3-hour movie. There is also a lack of motivation for Savarkar’s passion. Outside of a scene in his youth where his dying father tells him to leave all this revolutionary business, the movie never explores the reasons behind Savarkar’s intense ideologies.  But even these complaints are kind of smoothed over, by how Hooda tells the story. There are times when the movie feels like an epic mythological tale about this great man and his sacrifice. And for the most part, those weird and abstract moments really work. For example, a scene where an interaction with others turns into a stage play monologue with a spotlight on Hooda as he seemingly plays to the camera as Savarkar defines a new Hindutva concept for audiences.  So in those moments the atmosphere of melodrama and excess works, given how stage plays or epic dramas usually have to play to the back of the theatre. Once I realized that this kind of approach to the story was intentional, things kind of clicked.  This Movie Is Not For Everyone Even though I enjoyed the movie, with my intermediate knowledge of India’s history and Partition, Satantra Veer Savarkar will not be a movie that everyone can enjoy. The story doesn’t spend any time explaining to audiences the current state of India. There is no CGI text in the beginning explaining that India was a British Colony conquered and enslaved by the British for decades. So without that context, Indian characters showing passion and intensity for their ‘motherland’, while also rage and aggression at the White characters, will feel a little odd. And then you get into the political nuances of the time and all the various factors that led to the division of the country into India and Pakistan during the British exit.  Audiences that have some brief knowledge of Indian history may be able to piece it all together. Especially as the movie does feature some appearances by India’s biggest historical figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah and more. However, those names will mean nothing to audiences not familiar with history. Given that Satantra Veer Savarkar is mostly for Indian audiences, the lack of accessibility complaints may not be as big an issue.  Randeep Hooda The Actor Is Awesome! While Satantra Veer Savarkar definitely has some issues, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie for one big reason; the film does takes a big departure from the usual stories about India’s freedom. It also doesn’t side with one ideology over another. If anything, it does idolize the man it's based on but doesn’t push any one specific political narrative.  Most Bollywood movies with a story about India’s independence or partition almost always showcase a side. The movies feature nationalistic pride in India, while Pakistan is demonized as the bad guys. However, what I liked about Satantra Veer Savarkar is that the ending was more of a tragic end than a victorious celebration. Savarkar is shown as being against the division of the country based on religion and is very affected when it happens. Given how things ended up working in real life after the Partition, the movie makes it seem like Savarkar saw it coming. And in that way, the story is very moving and compelling.  Satantra Veer Savarkar Review Recommends The Movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ35e5RhHKk Hooda is much better on camera than behind here, and his sheer will of acting brilliance almost wills the movie to become interesting when it does slow down. Hooda again transforms his body to play the more brutal scenes in imprisonment, but it’s not the transformation that’s impressive, it’s Hooda's commitment to the role and performance. Everything from his posture, body language, and micro expressions is so good that I completely lost Hooda the actor in the role and just saw this complicated person. It’s a powerful performance in a movie that doesn’t entirely match the same energy. But I still think it’s a must-watch for fans of independence films, or biopics that feature a more theatrical approach to the story.  Satantra Veer Savarkar is currently streaming on ZEE5 GLOBAL.  What did you think of Randeep Hooda the director?
