Zubeidaa....

   
Movie:
Zubeidaa,
Cast: Karishma Kapoor, Manoj Bajpai, Rekha, Amrish Puri and others.
Direction: Shyam Benegal.
Music: A.R.Rahman.
  

An autobiographical Movie ‘Zubeidaa’ speaks the story of a young lady of 1950’s who tried to lead a life of her own like a free bird. Director Shyam Benegal has chosen the subject of his caliber and handled it in a very subtle and intelligent manner.

Riyaz (Rajit Kapoor), Zubeidaa’s son explores the story of Zubeidaa, daughter of Suleman Seth (Amrish Puri). In his quest to find out the truth, he visits all

those places and people with which his mother had acquaintance.   Suleman Seth ties the wings of a girl who voices her desire to lead an independent life. She even attempts to be a heroine, but her attempts prove futile. Unable to face her stubborn father, she succumbs to the circumstance. Zubeidaa ties the knot with a Man who is based in Pakistan. This ends in a Talak (divorce). Eventually she is left with a baby with many of her dreams unrealized.

Now comes Aunt Rose (father’s friend) to rescue her from this situation. Ms. Rose brings her in contact with Raja Vijayendra Singh of Fatehpur. Zubeidaa enters a totally new arena from now. Blinded by his love, she comes under an illusion that she can get all that she lost in her past, if she gets married to him. Will she get the freedom, she was craving for or does she find her wings tied again, as Choti Rani, in the Royal family. The answer is obvious.
    
Although the story sounds very familiar, it is the

treatment that has made the difference. Samir Chanda’s Art direction and music by A.R. Rahman have made the movie even more special. Karishma looks gorgeous. She looks as though she is made for the role. Manoj Bajpai, looks uncomfortable in the role of Raja. Rekha’s performance is convincing.
 
Shyam Bengal has proved his quality again. Zubeidaa remains in the minds of the audience for quite sometime, even after they are out of the theatre. This speaks a lot about the director ability. It is an impressive one.
