The Coffin maker

Coffin maker was my ever favourite Indian movie in the 18^th international film festival. It was such an excellent movie. I am a great fan of Nazzruedin Shah and I was fully satisfied after watching the movie. The Veena Bhakshi movie entertained almost every audience despite of age and class. It was such a joy to watch the innocence of each and every character in this movie. The movie was simple with lot of fun and logic. Nazzruedin Shah just lived as the character. The theme  story line, plot and the screen play was very different and enticing.
The scent of magical realism adds more fragrance to the coffin maker, a sweet tale about an old man who came to know that he has only one month to live, who himself is a coffin maker. The beautiful backdrop of Goa makes the movie more pleasing and wonderful. The movie goes with the audience through a character called Allou who carries the tale all along till the end.
The movie tries to say the life is a beautiful thing and everyone should enjoy it at its fullest and love is such an important thing.

It was one of the Indian movies which got real appreciation. The local English dialect used in the film keeps it more fresh and full of humour even though there was less music. The amusing English and the geographical backgrounds give a Caribbean relaxed feeling to the audience. Even though it is filled with wit and humour at times the tale gets its wings of emotion and heart touching situations which made the audience heart heavy. The supporting roles of colourful but stereotyped villagers were so impressive especially the lonely anxious widow. It was the first time in my life to witness the whole theatre crowds gave a standing ovation to the director Veena Bhakshi, it itself showed the quality of the movie. Even I managed to have her autograph in the back of a cigarette packet(I didn't had any other slips with me thou). It was the only movie I managed to watch twice and recommend to all my friends and acquaintances. I was wondering that how come this movie was not there in the competition category.
