Main Vaapas Aaunga
Dir: Imtiaz Ali
Actors: Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, Vedang Raina
Rating: 4/5

Every film must make you think/do something. This one had me click on Pamela Rooks’s movie, A Train to Pakistan (Prime Video) that I’d skipped, years ago (1998). There’s a train from Pakistan, ferrying death, in Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga (MVA). 

It’s a moment that’d be even harder to take — “Banda bande ko kha raha hai (man’s eating his own)” — if, like the rest of the movie, it wasn’t delivered to us so subtly, poignantly.
