Akkare (The other shore) is a relevant one in the common appeal of the society. The film talks about the greediness of the common man to become rich. That greed towards richness and the easiest way to become rich is the key theme that the film portrays. Mid 80's of the Indian culture commonly look at the west especially the Gulf countries as a paradise for their fortune. Here in Akkare, Gopi is Tahsildar (government employee) but wants to go abroad to become rich. He is under dilemma but his wife urges him to do so. He goes and sees many people who are on leave from the Gulf and ask them to get a Visa for him. And for the sake he inquires them what job has the most scope in there. Then with their instruction he is on the verge to study Typewriting and tailoring jobs. It's all about the money that values in Dirham. The people here are very much fond of it. Just be a 'Gulf man' is the only thing they wanted even though their partner also doesn't think about the reputation they had in their motherland. Like Gopi and Padmavathi in Akkare.
