A movie that pointed towards youth
activism and participation in
politics, it is credited to be
the inspiration behind the formation
of quite a few youth parties,
the most famous of them being
Lok Paritran which seems to have
unfortunately disappeared after
the 2006 elections. The movie
was more about the role of youth
in society than about politics
itself. Importantly, it pointed
towards the chronic ‘brain
drain’ issue with many youngsters
dreaming of flying, mostly to
the USA. Some are of the view
that the romantic tracks diluted
the impact that the movie could
have had. Nevertheless, one of
the most inspiring movies of our
times.
