Halla Bol, a need to Protest

Normally on weekend, myself n roommates (Sumit & VJ) go out for movie. But, this Sunday we saw "Halla Bol" starring Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan & Pankaj Kapoor in the main lead & directed by RajKumar Santoshi ,at home through DVD player. The movie conveyed a message to protest against injustice and to fight for Truth until it wins.

Today, we civilized residents are so much selfish that message of these movies do not touch at all. From, entertainment perspective we appreciate movies, support it by giving good rating, speak about message it convey as I m doing right now & finally movie get nominated and awarded in any film award show. At last, the movie with its so called message tastes dust in library.

In our day to day life, people pay bribes & do not protest. Do not raise voice against black marketing by ration shopowners. Do not protest if quantity of packed good is marginally less. Do not protest against illegal construction at the cost of poors. This list is never ending. We think if being silent our work is get done, why to unnecessary protest for others. Middle class section if continue to be selfish, the day is not far when they might also slipped to lower class. That`s why rich are growing more rich & poor are suffering.

Is this way going to bring social reforms.? Is this way sufficient enough to protest against injustice? Is it a proper way to fight for Truth?

The answer to all these is oobviously a Big No. Movies are mirror to society. Whatever happened, happens or is going to be happened in society is depicted beautifully through movies. The only flavour which director tries to add is the message & genuine attempt to inspire masses through raising social issues.

Halla Bol was such an attempt. Its now up to us how we take it i.e One way is to show courage & fight against day-to-day social evils & injustice prevailing in our society

and second way is much easy i.e simply thinking in a much conservative way of our own houses & families and left everything up to Government, God & some miracle to happen.

In this context, I recall few lines:
HO GAYI HAI PEER PARVAT SI PIGHALANI CHAHIYE
AAB HIMALAYA KE SINE SE AAG NIKALANI CHAHIYE......
