Banaras, the Spritual Heart of India!

Have you ever seen a movie back to back three times? I did it this weekend. I accidentally started seeing the movie Banaras, I had no idea about the movie before started seeing it, finally ended up seeing it twice on Saturday and once again on Sunday. I wanted to write about it in the blog, but I am still not able to figure out, what’s so special in that movie which didnt allow me to take my eyes and mind out of it. The movie is completely shot in Banaras (Varanasi) and in Sarnath,the picturization of the place is just magical; each frame takes you for a spiritual visit to those places. I guess its always difficult to express the spiritual feeling through dialogues or through acting in a movie, most of the spiritual movies ends up like a long boring preaching stuff, but this one, is done in such a way that it leaves the audience to perceive the spiritual experience by their own. The highlight of the movie is the dialogues of Nasrudin Shah, I guess the same spiritual essence of the movie, Matrix, is conveyed using short and crispy dialogues of Nasrudin Shah. Banaras a beautiful spiritual feast for eyes and mind. This movie was written and produced by L.C. Singh, president and CEO of an IT company, no wonder it’s less cinematic.
