FALTU (2011)


It is the creation with innovation of a director who chooses the title of a movie. It is same with the movie ‘Faltu’. If we see linguistically the word faltu itself is not faltu for the movie. It is one of the life changing movies in Bollywood, though not hit as per market. It is like Sachin scores more than 100… but Team India has to congratulate the winning team.

Very easy going story line. 10 characters have given justification. I can say that the movie is all about the youngsters’ life. What to do, what not to do. If they score high, they can be accepted for further studies, otherwise sorry Boss, you’re not eligible.

The movie FALTU is a criticism on our education system. How can we believe that a student, who cannot get good numbers in exam, is a failure? FALTU teaches us and provides us a platform to rethink especially for parents & the institution (the so-called ‘system’). Does ‘study’ means to get a job? Do we study only for getting a good job? Friends ponder again and again. If it is so, we should quit studying. Think of Bill Gates who quit it, even Dhirubhai Ambani.

To sum up, I would like to quote Mahatma Gandhi’s lines, even Ashutosh Gowarikar has used them for his film ‘Swadesh’. The lines are:
“Hesitating to act because the whole vision might not be achieved. Or, because others do not yet share it, is an attitude that only hinders progress”.

Hope a change may come in Life for what you’re living
