Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola: offbeat satire on business-politics nexus with an overdose of magical realism. Works in a comically bizarre way but the message may be lost in a melee of mannerisms. Liked Vishal Bhardwaj's backgound music, which seemed to break new ground. Post-modern social realism tends to be a groupie affair. Those in the club with a centre of gravity located in the DU-JNU-Gurgaon triangle may find more wisdom in this than the folk they call janta. With a realty baron called Mandola, Vishal B is Pontyficating on India's own robber barons.
