I happened to c the movie yes'day, that too on insistence of my son who is in senior Inter. Within 5-7 minutes of viewing, I felt that I am viewing my own self on screen, not just in one character but various shades of all the characteristics somewhere or other resembled my good old days. I am not that old though to call myself an oldie. The father-daughter relationship that looks like friendship is always there at my home too. My son said he saw my character in the film in quite a few scenes.
Having said this, I would like to add a few more lines - the other side of the coin. And I really wish Shekhar reads into it along with his die-hard fans. There are three points %u2013 One is: I saw lot many boys and girls mingle out very well off late, which is just friendship and nothing more. Some of them, I repeat only SOME of them may turn into love, but not all the cases as shown in film which may mislead the student community. Secondly: The saddest part of the film is its pathetic ending, where emotions of departing are not given importance. I still remember, when I left my degree college, the emotions were at peak. One of my lecturers who was very strict at study was in tears. Sadly this part is missing in the film. And finally, I saw that Shekhar dedicated this film to his teachers in the titles. But....

Contd... the teacher-student relation, which is the backbone of this subject, is not at all given its due. If these important factors too were taken care, then the film would have been a master piece and an all time evergreen movie of Indian cinema.
However, not taking away the film%u2019s neat presentation and not taking away the credit for giving us such a wonderful movie, I wish these above mentioned facts too were included in the movie. When I saw %u201CPrema Desam%u201D the dubbed version of %u201CKadal Desam%u201D, I felt that the movie was just aimed at youth and not for the students, though that is a different plot. But now I feel happy at least Shekhar has come very very closer to the subject. I wish him all the best in his future projects. Shekhar is a sensible director.
