muvi-fan-73 Yeh mera India is probably the most underdog film that I have known, to have been released in India. I watch the movie via one of the DVD's given by my friend and I found the movie exceptionally good.Direction and Screenplay: All credits in story, screenplay and direction go to S. Chandra. He is responsible for such sensible casting and pleasing narration. Parallel stories with such dramatization always come as pleasant experience.Cinematography: There's not much to say about cinematography. Its drama that has been filmed in bollywood, so some colors go along. It comes as nice experience.Tone: It falls under A1 category within the range of this type of movies, by the range I mean the movie with various parallel stories.Music: Music is average Acting: The life of any drama movie is the acting of actors involved in it. One does mostly get good acting awards for the drama movie in which they have acted. I liked the acting in following order Rajpal Yadav, Sayaji Shinde - Anupam Kher - Atul Kulkarni, Seema Biswas - Veerendra Saxena.

Kushagra Tiwari I saw this movie long after it actually released, had to watch it on DVD. But, this movie has got the power to hold you till the end. All the characters are perfectly casted and well portrayed. All the credits to N.Chandra for making a superb effort. He is a brilliant director and a narrator. My warm regards to you Sir. Talk about Anupam khers character or Rajpal yadav's simple role of a person coming to Mumbai in search of some work, All characters were very real and the movie was far better in the approach than typical Hindi movies. The message of hope was conveyed brilliantly. I would suggest all to get the DVD from the nearest shop and make it a mandatory viewing.

Vasu Chaturvedi This movie was not a huge box office hit in the Indian industry,which hardly accounts for because true/worthy movies are rarely shown.The people want big stars,boring duologue's but no one can understand what the person/director wishes to portray.This movie excellently casts the lives of the characters along with the social aspect of our Indian society, just like any other nation we have good people and bad people,the duologue's are great,trust me we had the worst duologue's in many movies. The plot revolves around the lives of 9 main characters and showcases the difficulty the people face,the duologue's are excellent for each situation, the voice over makes you think. Why do we behave such way ? Why cant we co-exist. The scene in the courtroom was remarkably shown,it showed the power of right and the way a man puts hate or anger aside and does what was the right thing to do. The director gives a new meaning to the word co-existence. He shows how a small child helps a girl without giving any "shit" about religion which in my mind was an eye-opener it showed that goodness prevails even in the most feeble minds and that the power of goodness outweighs the atrocity of hate. Enough of drama Eh? Well id say just watch this movie before you die. And as always Enjoy.

bobbysing Released with the least possible promotional campaign,"Yeh Mera India" showed the glimpses of its powerful content in the promos itself. And as promised it thankfully delivers a quality product with many thoughtful sequences, questioning the social double standards of our society. In other words, it is the most important movie of 2009 since it talks about some burning issues and forces the viewer to think about his life and the actions he might have taken in the similar situations.It belongs to the same genre of movies which talk about different inter-connected stories in a collective manner, as seen earlier in "Firaaq", "Mumbai Meri Jaan", "Metro", "Crash" (Eng) and more. The style may seem to be a bit repetitive, but it's the quality of the content which makes the movie appreciable and worth watching. It intelligently starts with a T.V. News highlighting the major incidents occurred during a particular day and then takes you back into a series of flashbacks giving the detailed accounts of each incident individually.In the initial moments, it may seem to be a deliberate attempt by the director but as the stories develop, you start relating to them easily. The first half builds a clean ground for all the characters interlinked with each other. And as you are well familiar with the plots, it takes you into an explosive second half where every story is fast moving towards its own boiling point. In few words, the post interval proceedings turn the movie into a solid commendable effort by both its writer and the director.The well written script, surrounding a complex web of relationships, touches almost every important social issue of the current times. It talks about communal hatred among the people, class differences in the society, rich exploiting industrialists, gangster's extortion mafia, Jihaadi Movement in the country, misguided younger generation, mean political leaders, TRP driven channels, Migration problems in the Metros, Muslims Denied Flats in Mumbai, Profit motives of the Hospitals, Medical Negligence by the Doctors and also the Spiritual Heritage of our country.It may seem impossible to incorporate all the above mentioned plots in one movie alone, but director N. Chandra remarkably performs this tough task and that too with a great conviction and class. He is back in form again roaring like a lion with his own specialized genre of movies based on intense social problems. Chandra brilliantly handles each individual story with an equal importance and makes you feel the pain felt by all his character simultaneously. The hard hitting and impactful execution by the director leaves a solid impact on the viewer as he walks out of the theater.Not going into details of each storyline, I would like to mention the most beautiful and important sub-plot of the movie involving a doctor, a judge and a victim harmed by the Medical Negligence of his doctor. The story teaches us the art of forgiving in a very pleasing manner. It explains the real meaning of the word empathy and its importance in our gifted short lives. I don't remember any other movie talking about this subject in a more expressive way than "Yeh Mera India". So, among all the other sub-plots, I rate this particular part of the movie as the most impressive and well directed one having the power to stay in your minds for long.Talking about the performances, you can feel the heart and soul put in by all the actors performing in the movie. Thinking about each story individually you remember every single actor giving one of the best acts of his career including the veterans Anupam Kher, Rajat Kapoor and Seema Biswas. N. Chandra has splendidly extracted worth praising performances from his entire star-cast including the ones playing their minuscule roles. Though there are certain characters that tend to go over the top at times, but still it creates a good overall impact collectivley. The song less movie also gets well supported by its soothing Background Score, fine Cinematography and crisp to the point editing.Another worth mentioning ace is the use of "Urdu Shayri Couplets" incorporated with a background voice over, after every important incident in the movie. The deep meaning of the few lines spoken at an appropriate time, increase the overall impact of a sequence to many folds. (However the selection of the couplets could be a lot more inspiring.) So, if you love the thought of living together as brothers, if you can feel the importance of the remaining years of your life and if you believe in sharing what you have in your possession, then "Yeh Mera India" will surely make you feel much better. The movie is not only about India alone, but it is about every country existing on the globe facing problems. It talks more about the concept of Universal Brotherhood and the urgency to understand its need in the current times. On merit basis, as it was "Mumbai Meri Jaan" in 2008, there is "Yeh Mera India" in 2009. Just go for it now!
