Welcome to Sajjanpur - Movie Review

Every once in a while there comes a story that just makes you feel good. A story where you fall in love with the characters. A story in which you feel what the character is going through and know that you would exhibit the same short comings if you were in their place. Welcome to Sajjanpur is a story that will do all of that to you and a lot more. The movie made me want to take out some paper and write a letter to my friends. (Alas, I would need to email them to get their address and for some reason most people these days ask you twice why you need their address)

The story is simple, Shreyas Thalpade write letters in a village to make a living. This is the story of his adventures. At a time when most main stream Bollywood movies concentrate of Special Effects and Item numbers, this movie is a welcome break. For me the most endearing thing was the fact that Shreyas charges Rs.2 per page for a letter her rights. The innocence of rural India will get you.

Watch the movie, you won'd regret it.

I rate the movie a MUST WATCH ***.* 3.5 out of 5 stars.
