Overall:
I strongly recommend this movie for couple of things 1. Superb acting 2. Bringing the shades of Urban naxalism.
The good about the movie:
A nice free style movie making, with class actors in it.
Anupam Kher was awesome and the agony shown by him when he was cornered marked the brilliance of the actor. It will definitely be a case study for people pursuing acting on how to be consistent with the character. A case in point will be the scratching of hands while visiting the naxal camp.
There are several layers in his characters and he has just waded through those layers as a master. Be it a conniving husband, professor, comrade, or son he has just executed it with such elan. His acting was a pure treat to watch.
The main lead in the movie has done his job well. He definitely passes as a person symbolizing capitalism trying to get a grasp of socialism and in the end surrenders to capitalism. References of capitalism were very well put forward right from his background of working in wall st.
The bad in the movie:
**Kindly note this is my personal opinion and people are welcome to disagree**
I guess the director started out to bring out the scheming mechanism of the urban naxalites and how they operate but then ended up saying that capitalism is the best way forward. Instead of sticking to the core of explaining urban naxalism he digressed by giving solutions to it which rather strangely
The director tried to create a business model out of pottery which is commendable but again the suggested model will not work as business (leave alone the political undertones). You cannot send a pot for Rs 10 to anywhere in India leave alone the world. If that is possible then most things can be done that way.
Bringing out consolidation does not necessarily mean good to the service providers or in this case product makers,i.e, potters. A case in point will be Uber. Try to check with the driver whether he is able to make a sustainable living even after 16 hours everyday, the emphatic answer has been a NO. Of course there are a few drivers who are able to make ends meet.
Coming to pure business studies, a middleman does not necessarily mean "BAD" for you. The middleman can provide you with the working capital and cash flow which is very difficult to get these days (what I mean is the interest rates for the SMEs and not the accessability to funds).
There is an exiting Not for Profit organization "Ten Thousand Villages" which is doing an awesome job in bringing out the items like Pots as mentioned in the movie. To further put the point across they do have a strong supply chain with
