Krishna works as a paperboy in the morning and lives in a one-room house with his mother, who works as a sweeper and household help. He falls in love with Kamala (Deeya Maskey), a normal girl who works as house helper for a middle-class family. They get married. However, life is anything but easy for the family.[break]
There are a lot of intrapersonal conflicts that Krishna goes through. As the film develops, we see things just getting worse for Krishna, as his mother suffers from an accident. Krishna suffers from lack of money and proper employment, and dissatisfaction of his sexual desires due to physical space issues. He reaches such a stage in the movie that he thinks of doing something unspeakable out of desperation.
In terms of moviemaking, the film is nicely created, although it is very slow-paced with minimum dialogue. The movie has some interesting B roles as well.
Sanghuro is simply a portrayal of a difficult life, and in doing that, it has succeeded. The film is an insight into a life that most of us have probably just heard of or read about, but a life we wouldn’t want to lead. Those who watch Sanghuro (narrow, constrained) will leave the theatre with a heavy heart.
Screening at QFX Cinemas.
