Jagriti (1954) :
Brief Review -
Educationally, Inspirationally, Emotionally, Culturally and Patriotically The Best Children Centric Film ever made in Bollywood. Period. Among all those children centric films i remember i found 2 films on Top, one is Taare Zameen Par (2009) and 2nd is Boot Polish (1954). I never thought that any film will come in watchlist and topple these 2, though i am always ready to accept one, and here comes Jagriti. Looking at the time of it's release this film was so far ahead of its time. In year 1954 who would have thought of changing educational system in Indian schools and hostels? Had people even heard of something like this then? Was anyone really paying attention to this issue just after 7 years of Independence event? Satyen Bose was that one fella who was thinking about it and he was not just thinking but he wanted people to think the same. He made people think of it with Jagriti. Its not just about one child or two, it's about every child who has lost interest in studies because of old school teaching methods and punishment traditions. This makes Jagriti a higher classic than Boot Polish which was about 2 Childrens and Taare Zameen Par which was about one child under much updated and advanced theory borrowed from Medical and Scientific terms. Jagriti focuses on Children's interest on studies but it is also very much focused about patriotic feeling and nation's bright future. One genius teacher arrives in an ordinal hostel which is full of mischievous kids and changes all the traditional methods. He makes them love the books, he makes them love everything which is around them, he makes them interested to know about everything happening in the country but that one Child is born-naughty and cross brain so he takes little more time to understand it but he had to go though an emotional dispatch. The writing and screenplay is so well written and has so many inspirational things which should stay for long-term. If Bollywood is still making a film on the same topic after 5 decades then you can understand how long-term is defined and how long it will be continued. All the kids bring naughty-ness and laughters with thier natural acts done unknowingly. Abhi Bhattacharya portyas a Loveable and unforgettable teacher perfectly. Music is meaningful and thoughtful. Lyrics are outstanding. 'Aao Bacche Tumhe Dikhaye', 'Sabarmati Ke Sant', 'Chalo Chale Maa' and 'Desh Sambhal Ke' in the end every song is a perfect combination of situational lyrics, suitable Music and inspiring touch. Satyen Bose made a Masterpiece far ahead of it's time which is a Must Watch for everyone. This film is inspiring even after 6 decades and will have timeless impact, no matter what's your age you will surely connect to it.
RATING - 9/10*
