| Village life is regarded as the bastion of Indian culture and values--and it's slowly being eroded by urbanization as villagers are lured to cities by the promise of opportunities. Unfortunately, most end up living in worse conditions than before. Shikhar tells the story of this problematic trend. Ruthless real-estate developer G.G. (Ajay Devgan), in cahoots with a corrupt government official, sets out to turn a rural area into a metropolis, but there's an ashram, run by a wealthy industrialist-turned-spiritual guru, smack in the middle of it, and "Guru" is dead-set on stopping G.G. So G.G. strikes at Guru's Achilles heel--his young, impressionable son Jaidev (Shahid Kapoor). G.G. and his sultry girlfriend Natasha (Bipasha Basu) lead Jaidev down the path of decadence so he'll sell his soul, bit by bit, until he sells the land, too. But Jaidev's descent into immorality is more like a game of teenage peer pressure and Guru is such a moral tyrant, one can't blame Jaidev for wanting to have some fun. As in Milton's 'Paradise Lost,' the devil here is unintentionally more interesting than a righteous God. - The Bollywood Ticket: The American guide to Indian movies (Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket) |
