It is a 200% political film and a must see for everyone. I treat it as a path-breaking film. The director has blended nature with politics in an extraordinary manner. It reminded me of Satyajit Roy's Pather Panchali in some ways. The ruffling of falling leaves was music to my ears. The symbolic use of the blackboard, the 'chicken - run' episode and the 'non-acting' of practically all actors all through left me spell-bound.The utter hopelessness (and yet a possible ray of hope towards the end) marked the end of a classic. Thank you, Mr. Director.
