Siddharth-RICHIE MEHTA(Film Review movie 8)


Siddharth directed by Richie Mehta pictures the life of a Zipper fixer Mahendra, who is survived by his wife Suman and two children. In order to earn more money to the family budget, he sends his son Siddharth to Ludhiana, where his brother-in-law finds a job for him with the aid of his relative. It is the time of Diwali. Mahendra and his family get ready to welcome his son. Siddharth who is a great fan of cricket player Dhoni is very much missed by his friends as well. Even after the day of Diwali, Siddharth did not turn up. Mahendra and Suman somehow find the number of the company manager and contact him. On contrary to all their expectations, they were revealed the truth that he has run away from there two weeks back.




Mahendra starts his journey to Ludhiana in pursuit of his son. He comes to talk to his roommate and he tells him that he has vanished one day without his baggage. He sets off his journey to several places. He reaches a place where kidnapped children are usually seen. But his son was not there. He even complaints to certain police stations. At last he calls his father and tells him of Siddharth’s disappearance. But he consoles him by saying that it is God’s wish. Since he has vanished, we can hope that he will come back one day. So he has to go back and take care of his daughter and wife.

The film has a touch of reality. It brings to light the theme of child labour that is rampant all over India. Siddharth’s father is mainly responsible for his disappearance. His profited motivated mind caused eternal misery. I was really moved by the theme of this movie.
