on his way, he thought, "if i keep this bird, i will become rich, and everyone will be suspicious. someday, someone will come to know the truth of the riches, and the bird, and report it to the king. i rather present the bird to the king, and be content with whatever he offers me in eturn." so, he went straight to the palace and told the king everything. he gifted the bird to the king.

aligarh emphasises that gays and lesbians should be protected by the law, their rights recognised by the courts.india needs to wake up to this reality that is the message of the film it is a remarkable scene -- cinematically beautiful and haunting since siras is a troubled man good movie

the film is inspired by the real life ordeal of 64-year-old professor siras (played by manoj bajpayee), who was suspended by the aligarh university for being homosexual. he was ostracised by the society at large and subjected to physical and psychological torture for his sexual preference. rookie journalist dipu sebastian (rajkummar rao) is the man who sees him for what he really is. aligarh is their journey. while it is melancholic, the film doesn't resort to melodrama to evoke empathy. aligarh's heart lies in the beauty of its silences and the unspoken words and unrushed emotions shared between its lead characters. while decriminalising homosexuality is an underlying message, the film essentially revolves around companionship and loneliness, reminiscent of aparna sen's masterpiece 36 chowringhee lane. hansal mehta captures the inner turmoil and unrest of siras in the most understated manner. most importantly, he gives manoj bajpayee the role of a lifetime and the latter infuses soul to his character. bajpayee's tearful eyes display an array of emotions — sorrow, vulnerability, angst and fear. scenes where he is seen reciting poetry in fluent marathi and being immersed in lata mangeshkar's songs all by himself, is work of pure genius. these will go down in history as one of the most soul-stirring cinematic moments. while bajpayee drives the film, rao delivers an equally compelling performance. you look at siras through his eyes as he shapes your perception of the man. satya rai nagpaul's cinematography and karan kulkarni's background score highlight the isolation that haunts siras. apurva asrani's heartfelt writing too, deserves a mention. "the eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages", this remarkable quote by virginia woolf pretty much sums up the film. aligarh stays with you much after you see it, especially for bajpayee and his nuanced portrayal of a man brutally put to shame by an intrusive and insensitive society. it's subtlety, redefined.

an elderly professor at one of india’s once-of the most prestigious centres of higher learning is hounded out – of his job, and his humble abode — because of his sexual orientation. what happens to him makes up hansal mehta’s ‘aligarh’. it is a film both timely and telling, because of what it is about, and how it is told. queer characters are not characters who just happen to be queer in most bollywood movies. they are stereotypes sent up for sniggers (with the notable exception of a few of onir’s films, ‘my brother nikhil’, and ‘i am’ ; karan johar’s segment in ‘bombay talkies’). they mince rather than walk. they dangle their wrists. they are there to be mocked at. shrinivas ramchandra siras (manoj bajpayee) is getting on in years. as befits a teacher and author, he is a man of letters. he likes poetry. he likes a glass or two of the good stuff when the day is ending. above all he is alone, sharing his loneliness with lata mangeshkar’s soulful songs, and occasionally, a tryst with another human who just happens to be of the same sex. also read: ‘aligarh’ is a portrait of loneliness: hansal mehta deepu (rajkummar rao) is the delhi-based reporter of a national daily who stumbles upon the siras ‘story’ in a local aligarh paper, and pursues it with his photographer colleague tashi (gulati). (full disclosure: deepu sebastian edmond, on whom rao’s reporter is based, was with the indian express when the story broke; photojournalist tashi tobgyal works with the paper). siras’ ‘case’ segues into the historic 2009 delhi high court judgement which decriminalized homosexuality, and is fought by a legal eagle (ashish vidyarthi) who places privacy in a bedroom beyond the ‘moral’ pale, and sneering guardians of ‘morality’. the hectoring tone of the public prosecutor in allahabad is of a piece with the general castigation brought to bear upon the lgbt community, and siras’s exoneration feels like a victory, even if short-lived.

the movie is a really a good one. it is based on a true event. though the movie was not much promoted on the tv channels but it stands very strong on it's side. the roles of manoj vajpayee and rajkumar rao is really good and promising. the screenplay of the movie is good and the depiction of the story in a smooth way is nice. the background places appear soothing and nice to the scene. it's a really good movie.

a golden quote by michael schumacher: girls are like ferrari cars. they are good to see and feel, difficult to own and maintain.boys vs girls boys have fun by teasing girls, then girls cry for few minutes girls have fun by loving boys then boys cry 4 life time! funny but it is fact :-)
