Review
Robert Cialdini’s principles of persuasion have been applied in many aspects of our lives, including the entertainment industry. And one movie that captures all these principles is Seema Pahwa’s directorial debut film “Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi”. The movie is a masterpiece that showcases Indian culture, family values, and the importance of grief. It’s a must-watch for every cinema lover as it touches our emotional chords with its beautiful storytelling and strong characters.
The storyline is simple yet engaging. Ramprasad dies on the eve of his 77th birthday, and his family gathers at their ancestral house in Lucknow for his 13-day mourning period (Tehrvi). The film delves deep into the lives of each family member, uncovering their hidden emotions and secrets, making the audience relate to each character.
The news of Ramprasad’s death spreads throughout the neighborhood like wildfire, bringing old acquaintances to the family house to express their condolences. With all these visitors coming in and out of their home, the family finds itself embroiled in several interesting plot points that keep you hooked till the end.
Seema Pahwa has an impressive cast line-up with some of India’s finest actors such as Naseeruddin Shah, Vinay Pathak, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Konkona Sen Sharma and Vikrant Massey – all delivering a fantastic performance. The characters’ portrayal is so real that even though they are fictitious characters; they look like people we have met at some point in our lives.
“Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi” highlights the significance of death ceremonies in Indian culture which most people aren’t familiar with. It shows how much effort goes into organizing these ceremonies – from preparing food to arranging chairs for visitors – everything has a lot of meaning behind it.
The music score by Sagar Desai compliments the visuals beautifully. The soundtracks are soulful and bring out emotions of sorrow, loss, and joy – they’ll take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
Filmed in Lucknow, the movie showcases the old-world charm of the city with its narrow alleys and old buildings. The cinematography by Sudhakar Reddy Yakkanti is stunning, capturing the essence of Lucknow and bringing it alive on screen.
The movie has received several awards for its outstanding performances. It won the Best Film Award at New York Indian Film Festival 2020, Best Supporting Actress Award at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2020, and many more. “Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi” has received critical acclaim worldwide.
Apart from its accolades, the film is also known for its intelligent dialogues that are full of humor yet poignant. The lines stay with you even after you’ve walked out of the theater.
One scene that stands out is when Ramprasad’s elder daughter-in-law (Supriya Pathak Kapur) confronts her husband (Naseeruddin Shah) about their unfulfilling marriage. She announces that she’s been waiting for him to initiate a conversation about their relationship but he hasn’t. Her character is an example of how women in India still struggle to express themselves in a male-dominated society.
In another scene, Ramprasad’s youngest son (Parambrata Chattopadhyay) breaks down while performing his father’s last rites – his cry echoes throughout the house, melting even the coldest hearts.
The production team has done an excellent job in bringing this movie to life- from costume design to set design every detail was taken care of. Even though it’s a low-budget film, it looks like a million-dollar production.
One criticism that people have had with this film is that it moves too slowly; however, I feel like this slow pace adds value to the movie. It helps us understand the family dynamics and emotions better, making their pain and sadness more relatable.
In conclusion, “Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi” is a beautiful movie that showcases India’s cultural values and family traditions. Seema Pahwa has done an excellent job in bringing out the best performances from her actors. The film has received critical acclaim and won many awards for its brilliant acting, music score, cinematography, and directing.
If you’re looking for a movie that’ll make you laugh, cry and feel emotions you didn’t know existed – this is the one for you. It’s worth every penny and more!
