Anna: Kisan Baburao Hazare

Anna: Kisan Baburao Hazare

Anna: Kisan Baburao Hazare a biographical film is a feast to my movie watching experience. I like the direction and script where Director Shashank Udapurkar has subtly stresses the Anna ideology and his passion for our country and truth.

Tanishaa Mukerji who works a reporter who unfolds the life of Anna step by step helps viewers to understand how Anna did his Himalayan work in Ralegan Sindi. The movie opens various phases of activist Anna Hazare’s life.  Today Anna Hazare is world famous as a fearless soldier, a hard working farmer & a social revolutionary, Anna Hazare became a role model after his fasting and protest against rampant corruption in the country.

He came into limelight in 2011 when he began a hunger strike demanding the government should enact a stringent anti-corruption law, The Lokpal Bill, to deal with corruption in the nation. This attracted global attention. Film has portrayed it on screen.

The vital incidents and anecdotes shaped Anna’s life answers viewers’ unspoken questions. This film spreads the Anna philosophy. The road of truth and Ghandhian thoughts is the answer to wide spread corruption and injustice.

Anna Hazare to me is the only person who united our country for the cause of RTI and Lokpal Bill. I have witnessed and participated in the Anna movement. First time in my life time I have seen the mass participated in Anna rally against corruption. The whole nation rose first time after the independence to Jantar Mantar for Anna Hazare. I always site his example as a pioneer in using social media to connect to masses. Jasmine revolution spread and changed the imperialist governments of six nations. Anna Hazare moment is the first of its kind example in India. 2014 elections took lesson from him and applied the same strategies during the promotion of BJP.  

I am lucky to watch this film; it gave me a pleasure of becoming a part of historical development.
