ZEE5 has been in the spotlight with their outstanding Original Film Series. On 14th February, ZEE5 released Shukranu - A Funny Take on the 1976 Forced Sterilization. It is a comedy film based on the real incident that took place during the 1976 Emergency Rule in India. During Emergency, Nasbandi was forced upon male individuals. They had no choice as it was mandatory for every male. Bishnu Dev Halder, a national award-winner, directed this original film under Reliance Entertainment Production. I am sure, you would be keen to know what happened during Emergency. Let's read what Shukranu has in store for all the viewers.
Why was it Released on Valentine's Day?
ZEE5 has always been famous with exclusive ideas to keep their viewers engrossed in their productions. As Shukranu was released on Valentine's Day, so many of you would think that it would be a regular romantic film. But the reality is that it is not a regular romantic film. Shukranu talks about the 'dark times of Indian History' with a humorous script. So, ZEE5 thought it to be the best time to give a surprise to its viewers.
Stars of Shukranu...
The story revolves around the main lead, Inder (Divyenndu), a man working as a chief supervisor in Delhi. He had to marry Reema (Shweta Basu Prasad), who was selected by his parents for the arranged marriage but later he fell in love with Aakriti (Sheetal Thakur) in Delhi. Inder was helpless as just two days before his marriage Nasbandi was forced upon him due to 1976 Emergency situation. The Original film has lots of twists and turns that roam around Inder, Aakriti and Reema.
Why Watch Shukranu on ZEE5?
Last weekend, I watched Shukranu as I wanted to know what happened during 1976 Emergency. I enjoyed watching the film with my mother. The film revolves around Inder and his acting skills keeps you glued to the screen until the film ends. Shukranu's storyline is written very well as it tells about reality of 'dark times of Indian history' through comical situations, which is definitely loved by the viewers. Though it is sad to know that many Indian men went through Nasbandi in 1976, but ZEE5 Orginal Film - Shukranu takes all the limelight to keep the viewers informed about the brutal side of Emergency yet bringing smile on their face with the unique humorous script.
The entire family of Inder worries about the love relationship between Inder and Reema. Everyone gives their own suggestions to lighten up their love life, but no one knows what's the truth that revolves in Inder's mind whenever he takes the initiative to make love with his wife. Later, he consults a doctor to get a solution for his problem. The doctor brings hope for Inder and tells him that he can still make love with his wife, even after sterilization, but he cannot have kids.
Inder build up the courage but fails as usual. He convinces his family and goes back to work in Delhi. Few weeks later, he receives a letter from his village which gives him the biggest shock of life. The letter states, "Inder, Reema is pregnant! You are going to be a father!" Inder hides his worry but yet accepts the happiness of his family. In his mind, he thinks that Reema is having an affair but fails to confront it.
Next, comes a twist as Inder falls in love with Aakriti but he couldn't tell her about his marriage. The story goes on with a love triangle between Inder, Reema and Aakriti. Bhanu (Aakash Dabhade) also plays a major role as Inder shares all his secret with him and he helps him to manage his married and love life.
The Conclusion...
Overall, Shukranu - A Funny Take on the 1976 Forced Sterilization is a light-weight, comedy film that depicts a lots of myths and truths from Emergency Period. Everyone would enjoy watching this 1 hour 35 minutes long Original Film by ZEE5.
