MULK
This film explores the difficult issues regarding love for one’s nation and the questioning of that love in a thought-provoking manner. It raises important questions about what patriotism entails and the unsettling fact that the majority religion is rapidly becoming radicalised. The movie bravely questions the pervasive “us versus them” mentality that has exacerbated societal tensions by highlighting the worrisome criterion of hatred as a symbol of belonging. The movie forces viewers to realise and deal with the ingrained divisions in society by bringing these brutal realities to light. The story revolves around Murad Ali Mohammed and his daughter-in-law, who attempt to establish their innocence following allegations that their family had ties to extremist organisations due to Mohammed’s son joining a terrorist organisation. It concentrates on a few important and urgent topics while also emphasising the critical role that the media and other channels of information play in ensuring that the people is informed about the proper news and facts.
Rustom
An outstanding Indian Navy commander Rustom Pavri is praised for his undying loyalty to his nation. He represents the philosophy of putting his country first and is well known for his unabashed patriotism. The makers made it clear right away that it is not a biographical account but rather a fictitious depiction of the notorious case, which was inspired by the controversial K.M. Nanavati case of the 1950s.
Rustom is startled to learn that his wife, Cynthia, has vanished upon his early return from duty. As the truth comes to light, he learns she had a relationship with well-known car dealer Vikram Makhija (played by Arjan Bajwa). Rustom shoots Vikram three times before willingly turning himself in to the authorities because he is so overcome with hurt and rage over his wife’s treachery. The situation changes unexpectedly when Rustom enters a plea of not guilty in court. As viewers wait impatiently for the revelation of the truth, the movie digs into the tense issue of whether he is actually guilty or innocent.
Shaurya
This film successfully reinterprets traditional clichés of military men in a daring attempt to change Bollywood’s representation of them. Although it departs from the conventional narrative of chest-thumping and aggressive jingoism towards the enemy across the Line of Control (LoC), it praises the valour and sacrifices made by the courageous warriors of the Indian Army.
By dispelling the idea that having pride and honour in one’s country equates to using violence against those living on the other side of the border, Shaurya provides a welcome alternative. Instead, it adopts a reflective stance, exploring the difficulties and flaws within our country’s watchdogs. It raises awareness of problems like bias, discrimination, and internal conflicts that obstruct fair play within the prestigious Indian Army.
