Amitabh
Bachchan and scriptwriters of his films will go down in history as
having inspired a nation of 100 billion to view revenge as the ultimate
form of justice.
Wazir is yet another mediocre revenge drama in a long line of Bollywood films that seek to justify and glorify violence and crime (sometimes violence for its own sake). In the case of this film, and others like it, seeking revenge is justified as the protagonist does not receive it through traditional means.
If one were to bring up one's child by inculcating in him the same values, he would most certainly end up in jail. Maybe even before entering adulthood. That should give us some glimpse into what kind of society we are inspiring to create.
I yearn for the kind of thoughtful and soul stirring cinema that Anand Gandhi and Khushboo Ranka showed us is possible with The Ship of Theseus. When will mainstream Bollywood deliver another film which rises to that standard?
