SCENE I
Susanna Anna Marie Johaness conspires to murder her husbands successively one after another as many as six times and finally ends up murdering the real murderer in herself, by embracing God. A typical Vishal Bhardwaj movie where he successfully portrays the dark side of a women’s facet and quest for love which comes with a caveat.
SCENE II
I see joyful faces coming out of the theatre expressing the artistic delight they have experienced in the past two and a half hours.
SCENE III
As I stroll along the street of Mukherjee Nagar (a place in New Delhi), I can see crowd gathered at some distance midway on the road. It gave me an inkling of some mishap, but only to find out that a serious accident has taken place, on reaching closer.
SCENE IV
As I stood there among the crowds, I see an old woman lying on the road bleeding profusely from her mouth. Her tattered shawl, barely a shield against the deadly winter of Delhi, lay spread next to her body. A look around and I found a packet lying at her feet which had chapattis wrapped inside it. In our society where Clothes make the man, naked people have little or no influence on society; I figured out easily from her scantily dressed body that she was that bloody “NOONE”. I came to know that she has just been run over by a speeding car.
SCENE V
A police van reached the spot and with the promise to the people, who managed to note down the vehicle number, that stern action will be taken against the guilty took away the woman to the hospital, who was almost breathing her last.
SCENE VI
Now there are certain set of questions that is disturbing the plate tectonics of mind and is causing tremors.
Q. Was the woman born to die this way, if she succumbs to the injury?
Q. What do I do for her? Do I pray that she gets saved and start leading a miserable life again or do I wish her death so that she gets rid of the type of life which must have been nothing less than a burden?
Q. How insensitive can a man could be to another person’s life? Was there no humanity left within the conscience of the man who hit her, to reach her a hospital, if at all it was an accident
Q. How can this situation be brought justice?
