Generally, in movies, when we say we have a hero, it is
because there is a Villain, a vicious villain who eventually gets defeated by
someone who ultimately becomes HERO of the movie. Hero in a movie usually gets
a gal, dances with her, and does some comic relief too. Footnote- Hero of movie
is always, not always then most of the time expected to entertain us.
But “Dr. Prakash Baba Amte – The Real Hero” is a movie where
this cliché will come to an end. This must be the most wonderful, heartwarming
and eye opening movie I have ever seen.
I found a movie being the best media ever, to bring in focus
the work Dr. Prakash Amte had done or been doing. I have had read about it,
even heard stories about it also listened to the interviews (Very Few though)
he had given. But they never were that effective as this movie is. That’s why
we say Audio-Visual media is the best media ever.
The work of Dr. Prakash Amte is obviously inspiring but
watching it on screen, step by step was marvelous experience. Amazing direction
and screenplay by Adv. Samruddhi Porey. Her vision was quite simple- to bring
life experience of Dr. Prakash Amte live on big screen. And she had done a
terrific job doing so, hence a salute to her. Bringing a life’s journey live on
screen is a difficult job. The work Dr. Prakash Amte has done or been doing is gigantic,
yet she has managed to select the cream and had nicely did dressing of it on frame
after frame.
There are two scenes which have quite impression on me still
(Spoiler Alert, maybe ;) ). When Dr. Amte sees a small tribe’s boy freezing in
cold and decides he has no right to be fully clothed when the boy has nothing
to cover himself from cold and he literally stripes down to under wears. He
still has been living on these clothing in his village and been dressing in
simplest clothes possible outside the village. Second one when Baba Amte asked
to take his grandchildren (Dr. Prakash Amte’s children) back to Anandvan for
further education; Dr. Prakash Amte says he has 360 children (3 of his and rest
of the tribes whom Dr. Prakash Amte has been trying to educate) and asked (Not
directly) his father to take them all or none at all. Really Heartwarming.
All Nana Patekar’s fan must watch this one for sure; well
even if you are not you still must watch this one. He and Sonali Kulkarni have
completely given justice to the characters they were portraying. Dr. Prakash Amte
himself is very poise and humble person. Seeing Nana being the same, for a
change, was treat to eyes, as we have seen him mostly playing an aggressive ones.
This one is definitely a remarkable performance of him. The way when we say
Gabbar, Amajad Khan comes in our mind, similarly Iron Man -Robert Downey Jr.,
Batman- Christian
Bale, Auro –Amitabh Bachchan, Dinkar Bhosale- Sachin Khedekar. The
same way whenever anyone will say Dr. Prakash Baba Amte (in context of a Movie)
Nana Patekar will come in our minds. He had given us yet another legendary
character which will be remembered for many years from now to be the best
character ever played by Nana Patekar.
After watching this movie I felt the life I have been living
is worthless. I lived my life for me, what have I done for others? Nothing. But
this man and his wife and the people who decided to join his venture, they are
living entirely for the tribes’ people, for their improvement and needs. This
is the way of living a real life. Living a life to make difference in someone
else’s life is not at all an easy task, yet they are doing it religiously. Hence
there couldn’t have been a better way to praise him as the sub-title does- “The
Real Hero”.
We often fail to live our own life as we complain about
things we don’t have, for our broken hearts, for our health problems, targets that
we failed to achieve. Many of us do think to do something to give back to this
world yet hardly very few actually end up doing so. But after seeing the work these people are
doing and witnessing their journey of starting this work till they reach where
they are today, will make you realize how lucky you are for being whoever you
are.
People who goes to watch a movie only for entertaining
purposes then this movie is not a piece of cake for their plate. Better skip
this one rather than coming out disappointed. But people who want to look
towards their lives differently must watch this one. It will help you live your
life with gratitude and make you feel to take up some task (May not a huge one as
Dr. Prakash Amte’s venture) a little one maybe to try to live a life for use of
others.
