GALI MEIN AAJ CHAND NIKLA DRAMA CAST MOVIE
The movie follows a non-linear narrative as it moves back and forth to tie the strings of Ajay’s past and present. Little Ajay is shunned at school by kids because his parents are not legally married. Raman’s mother, set in her orthodox ways, threatens to take her life if Raman were to ever marry Ajay’s mother. Zakhm’s main plotline revolves around musician Ajay (brought to life by Devgn), the son of a Hindu Raman Desai (played by Nagarjuna) and a Muslim mother (an unnamed character portrayed by Pooja Bhatt), and his parent’s struggle to raise him, the child (played by Khemu), born out of wedlock. The narrative demanded that the focus be on the child who had seen it all. But Bhatt’s film sees not only Devgn, but little Kunal Khemu dominating the screen for almost equal parts. By the time he had been cast for Zakhm, Ajay was already a familiar face of the Hindi film industry. What Bhatt does is simple, and it’s something that all directors should ideally do, make the movie about the story and not about the actors. Zakhm becomes almost melodramatic in a few scenes, and the fact that Pooja Bhatt’s character’s religion remains a mystery to almost everyone around her throughout the film is almost ridiculous, but Bhatt’s direction, a tight script, and the performances of the actors make the movie what it is, a classic of Hindi cinema.
