THE RAIN ( A MOCK FILM REVIEW)

Miss Nature’s colossal production “The Rain” , directed by the greatest of all directors Mr Sun , is being screened throughout the Westcoast in all open air theatres.

The leading lady of the film is the vivacious and curvaceous Mrs. Cloud. She has staged a come back after her delivery last year.Born in the low society of lakes and ponds, she has reached the dizzy heights of stardom recently. She still retains her charm and glamour for which she was noted and easily passes off for a heart throb. No wonder she has broken the hearts of many a cine goer.

The hero is Mr Wind. Being a versatile actor, he is quite at ease with light comedy and utter tragedy as well. The unseen hero (not the ever green hero) preferred this time a swashbuckling act and makes many a hair raising spectacles, which will linger long in our memory.

The story revolves round a cruel and inconsistent husband and his suspicious wife. At the beginning , the heroine (cloud) feels suspicious over the activities of her husband and displays her fury with fiery eyes and thundering voice. Mr Wind is not the type of person to give up easily. To establish his supremacy, he beats her mildly at first and madly thereafter, which makes her run helter-skelter. All her retinue feels panicky and pandemonium is let loose. Mr Wind strikes her so strongly that she flees and seeks shelter to her father Mountain, who wards off the hero tactfully. The heroine rests on the bosom of her father and sheds tears so heavily that streams of tears begin to flow through his hairy chest. Her wailings continue till the very end of this film when he switches off to mere chattering. This is the story in a nut-shell.

The talent of Ms. Cloud lies on her unsurpassed skill of shedding tears even at the slightest provocation, as is the case with many a female. Unrivalled in tragedy, she is the greatest tragedienne of our filmdom. One can easily foretell that she would easily win this year’s coveted OSCAR. The success of Mr Wind is phenomenal. He has once more proved his histrionics and rubs shoulders with Amitabah Bachchan. His delivery of dialogue is devastating and he bids fair to share this credit with Shivaji Ganeshan.

Embellished with the melodious music of Ms Cricket and the accompaniment of Mr Frog, this picture will surely capture the hearts of many a cine-goer and send them to raptures. Mr Beetle even lends his voice for the play-back and one can hear the shrill voice which has no parallel in our filmdom. The cabaret dance of the May fly holds one’s breath and even forces to close one’s eyes at the last stage of the dance when she strips off her tiny dresses.Though lean in incidents, the emotional content of this film is noteworthy and the Director, a genius in this art, depicts this story quite convincingly and taps the narrative for a strong and emotional current. In every foot of this wonderful film, the touch of this wise wizard is felt and this adds a feather to his cap.
