Watched the movie 'Damini' directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi just now. It was released in year 1993. I have seen this movie once when I was a young school going student but then I could not have fully understood the underlying message in this movie. Friends we often have a tendency to count on the greatest movies of our times, and then we tell the names like 'Sholay', 'Mother India', 'Guide', 'Deewar', 'DDLJ', Munna Bhai MBBS', '3 idiots' and many such names among our Hindi movies. I don't think 'Damini' is put in that list. But when I saw it today I feel like 'Damini' is class apart. The stellar performance of 'Sunny Deol' in this movie is probably the best by any Indian Actor. The dialogue delivery, the action and the effect of the same on the audience that I could imagine, must be unparalleled then. However there is no superhuman effort in this movie like those which are shown in Salman's or Rajnikanth's movies.
The message in this movie is not just another story to fight against evils present in our society. In fact it shows a common and honest person's call of her heart to fight against wrongs that are happening inside her own home and that's where she is not fighting with others, but with her own near and dear ones, and then when she has her everything at stake. This is what puts this movie in a different league. The dilemma of an Indian housewife to bring out the facts of what his brother-in-law and his friends have done to a hapless young maid at their home, or to silence the call of her heart has been truly reflected in this movie by this great director of our times. However she is not able to kill her inner voice and then she is targeted brutally by her own people for taking the side of the truth. It's the movie in which she could crusade this fight single handed.
Message is very clear. Fight against wrongs even in our homes. Society is created by our own homes. When about our own children, siblings or other family members we can sniff that someone is going on wrong path, immediately intervene to correct them. Don't hide their faults. Let the truth come out so that he or she doesn't repeat that mistake. Such things should be nipped in the bud and if in every home we have one 'Damini', this world would truly turn out to be a crime free and evil free adobe for us.
