Just finished watching the movie ‘Videsh : Heaven on Earth’. I am very disappointed from Deepa Mehta and Preity Zinta. I am not saying their direction or acting has any flaws, but the concept of bringing in a snake, that too, a snake that can take up human form and fool people, ease the tension for the poor wife who gets beating by the real- husband first and then given first-aid by the snake who appears before her in form of her husband. Bah!
Already the world think India is full of superstitious foolish people and now a renowned director goes and gives the impression to the world that what they think is absolutely right. Why?
Everything else is still believable, that the mother-in-law acts as a witch, always causing problems in between husband and wife, and the crackpot husband just know one way to react to any confusion in the house – i.e. to beat up his wife as if she was the boxing pad, made available to him to take out his anger. These things still happen in several families. Even though all are educated in the family, but no one has the guts to stand up to the high-headed fool and make him realize that the women he brought into his house deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. Things like these simply add to my hatred towards this whole concept of marriage.
