Miss Tanakpur (2015) - DVDRip - AC3 5.1 - [DDR] * AF *
Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
Director: Vinod Kapri
Cast: Ravi Kishan, Rahul Bagga, Hrishitaa Bhatt, Sanjay Mishra and Om Puri
Rating: 0.5/5
Director Vinod Kapri's Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho, an honest attempt at highlighting the negatives of small-town India, starts on the wrong foot, and never recovers from this basic flaw. Consider this: When a film opens to a close-up shot of a bra shop in a street market and the next 10 minutes are dedicated to what the filmmaker thought was a joke on how women buy their undergarments in our villages (because they have no idea of their 'sizes'), you know very well the shape of things to come in the next two hours.
Miss Tanakpur... starts with the promise that it is a satire, a social commentary no less, but director Vinod Kapri lets the narrative slip into an immensely forgettable compilation of crass situations and characters. Yes, Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho loses its plot, and its audience, in the first ten minutes.
Kapri, a journalist-turned-filmmaker, claims that his debut venture is based on (a 'dramatised' version, mind you) of true events. "There are some stories which you cannot say in two columns or a half-an-hour time slot. Some stories you need to tell with more detailing. It was about a boy who was sentenced five years of jail for raping a buffalo. I got intrigued by the story and visited the village in Rajasthan, met the boy, his family, the accusers, doctors, lawyers, veterinary doctors and interesting stories started to unfold," he had said in an interview.
Now you know what the film is about? It is about a man (Rahul Bagga) who is falsely accused by the village head (Annu Kapoor) that he has raped a buffalo. The village head also gets the khap panchayat to pass a verdict that he must marry the buffalo, Miss Tanakpur.
