Varanasi, Ranjhaana style
Movie synopsis
A movie which revolves around small town sensibilities and barriers erected by the society is an eye-opener. When a pundit’s son falls in love with girl in his childhood, the world (and even the girl) dismisses it as puppy love. Times pass by, they hit their teens and Kundan still follows Zoya around which eventually compels Zoya to acknowledge Kundan’s love and attention. After school she secures a seat in Jawarharlal Nehru University and moves to the city. Big city ideologies always attracted her and she mixes well in the atmosphere in no time. She falls for Akram at JNU. The film takes a sharp steer when Zoya visits her hometown after eight years only to find a different town with some same people and ideologies.

The film Jindabyne, is a story about death, marriage, and race in an Australian town in New South Wales called Jindabyne. In the film, four men go fishing, and one of them discovers the dead body of a young indigenous girl. Instead of reporting what they found to the police immediately, they decide to stay and continue fishing. They decide that there is nothing they could do for her, so they tie her legs to a tree and continue with their fishing, reporting the death only when they return home. After they are done with their weekend of fishing and report the incident, conflict starts, as the men are criticized for not respecting the dead. Through the story of the town’s reaction to the four fishermen’s response to the dead girl, the movie shows Australia to be fragmented and divided over white-indigenous relations.
In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David. The filmmaker’s intent is mainly to inform people of the dangers of too much sugar, but it also talks about the fat’s in our diets and the food corporation shadiness. The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.
