Mirch (2010) Country: India Language: Hindi Year: 2010 Color/BW: COLOR Category: Feature Film Genre: Comedy, Drama
Description Maanav is a struggling filmmaker who is unwilling to compromise on the script he has written. His girlfriend Ruchi, a successful film editor, arranges for him to meet Nitin, a film producer. Nitin likes the script, but is not very sure of its commercial prospects. Maanav then suggests a story from the Panchtantra: A WOMAN IS CAUGHT RED-HANDED WITH HER LOVER BY HER HUSBAND AND YET, SHE MANAGES TO WRIGGLE OUT OF IT SCOT-FREE!
Nitin loves the story, but finds it too short for a feature film. Maanav then creates three more stories based on the same premise: in a way, the Panchantra story travels in different versions to the modern times through the film. The four stories are woven together by a common story. Mirch itself echoes this structure, with four stories mingling with the main narrative.
The message is simple - if you have your wits about you, you can salvage even the most impossible situation.
At a deeper level, Mirch is about the gender equality in relationship; and at a still deeper level, it is about how an artist finds creative freedom in today's mercantile world?
