Sparsh is a wonderfully made movie. The acting is one of the best made in many years. Most movies featuring physically challenged people end up in showing sympathy and depict what normal people can do for them.
Quite on the contrary, Sparsh makes you go away with a very different
feeling -- you dont feel sympathy for the blind -- rather you understand their most basic feeling -- they are human beings who do not need sympathy, rather, they want and need normal behaviour towards them.Sparsh does not have emotional overtones -- it is completely natural and that is what makes this movie wonderful to watch. Hats off to Nasiruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and the rest of the cast for their superbly acting and to Sai Paranjpe for the brilliant direction. The music is good -- very much to the tone of the movie.The best part of this movie about blind people is that you
watch it normally without feeling sympathy or pity. That is a major and
landmark achievement in these types of movies.
Sparsh doesn't have what?
