EFFORT EXTRAORDINAIRE
'Effort EXTRAORDINAIRE‘meaning koshish in Urdu is a masterly movie by Gulzar with a great performance by great Sanjeev kumar !
Ringing true to its worthy name,poet director Gulzar's cinematic attempt is lyrically laden with emotion and bristles with humanity in a heart warming look at the concept of disability and handicap,with Jaya-Sanjeev as a deaf mute couple giving an all time best with regards to performances in Hindi cinema.
The songless film resounds with cinematic melody as the deaf-mute leads emote on screen,their joys and vicissitudes as vital to us as themselves as they exist in as normal a lifestyle as their so called abled peers.
The script is an absolute marvel in showing a sympathetic but realistic portrait ranging from the perplexing sign language to innovative antics to overcome the consequences of sensory deprivation ,as it uses innovative allegorical and metaphorical images to do away with sound from the perspective of the lead performers, in a subtly sensitive manner without resorting to overladen emotion or dramatics.
The almost sparse musical soundtrack is substituted for silent montages where the audience hear everyday trivial sounds realising in a stunning dilemma that the couple are deprived of that privelege and this becomes the most powerful audio visual message which evokes a surreal empathy rather than pity, thus dignifying this truly heartfelt 'effort'in a gleaming spiritual zeal .
A.k. Hangal gives another memorable act as the man who endeavours to help them pursue a non institutionalised life for he appreciates their special passion for life and their diverse intelligence which others choose to ignore or neglect in a relentless ignorance .
The characters are neither noble nor trying to please us but just experiencing life as all the rest and they succeed in imparting a deep felt joy for the gift of life without enhancing their own sensory loss which becomes a 'natural deception' forefeited by the absolute committment of human motivation to celebrate life and overcome every obstacle .
Its subtle and sensitive tones even mute the colors on screen to enhance its humane aspects,and the memorable finale sees Sanjeev give cinema one of its greatest moments,one of the best ever movies and definitely making Gulzar into a great film maker.
