Thikana is also one such movie of Mahesh. The conflict between a failed, empty-pocketed lawyer, (Anil Kapoor), Shashi (Smita Patil) and the inner world against the outside world was brought to the fore by Mahesh Bhatt. Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) from Khawar who has a brain tumor. He does not have enough money to treat him.
Mahesh Bhatt's films have such a niche audience. The story of common people's life is the specialty of his films. Mahesh Bhatt's Film reveals the limits of human consciousness. Here is the hero.
But it has human limitations. He alone cannot kill ten goons at once. So in a special movie, the hero is pretty much a bully. It is also true that lately the films of special films come into controversy due to unrealistic bold scenes. Mahesh Bhatt says that this will continue, it will change with time, the preferences of the new generation will be different from the previous generation. And film being a business, change with time is inevitable.
Although this is true, the framework of Mahesh's cinema has not changed. The hero of his film does not own fifty-five companies. Synopsis Anupam Kher struggles to get his son's bones. The story of how government red tape causes trouble to common people. Artha has a love triangle.In which Kulbhushan's wife Shabana takes on the controversial extramarital affair between Smita Patil and Kulbhushan Kharbanda. In this, her husband's intrusions and abusive manners, all these characters are within human limits. They are not heroes or heroines.
In Daddy, a desperate singer lost by circumstances loses confidence and becomes a mere blip in the eyes of the world, an alcoholic, responsible for his wife's death. Anand Sareen (Anupam Kher) has precisely set this up. His own daughter hates him. His daughter has to save Anand Sareen from his alcohol-induced degeneration.
This story has an ordinary father and an ordinary daughter. Mahesh Bhatt has stood up to the screen effectively. Mahesh Bhatt's Avargi was released in the eighties. In it, a gangster named Azad is followed by Lala (Anupam Kher). This goon was in love with a heroine named Meena. Azad's struggle to become human by marrying her is extremely human. The hero in Mahesh's film is never a hero in the conventional sense. Ravi, a street taxi driver, is looking for his missing sister in Mumbai. His sister has been abducted by someone by luring her into marriage. All the people in the streets belong to the working class, marginalized sections living in the city.
Thikana is also one such movie of Mahesh. The conflict between a failed, empty-pocketed lawyer, (Anil Kapoor), Shashi (Smita Patil) and the inner world against the outside world was brought to the fore by Mahesh Bhatt. Ravi (Sanjay Dutt) from Khawar who has a brain tumor. He does not have enough money to treat him.
Take out any of Mahesh Bhatt's films, but one thing is felt, the hero in his films is a common man. Then he will be an unemployed youth looking for job occupation. Remember Aashiquit as Rahul i.e. Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal. Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi, Raghu Jaitley (Aamir Khan) is a reporter in the middle, all from a normal family. The mediocrity of hero and heroine is a feature of Mahesh's films. His subject is the struggle of the common man. In his films, the hero-heroine has a part-time job of 5 to 10 thousand, meets at the station or bus stop. There are no big sets in Mahesh Bhatt's films. There is no immense wealth. NRI characters have no patriotism. There is no need to fly cars. There is not much fighting. Heroes don't have unrealistic stunts. There are human limitations. Be it the desperate father in Kash or the goon in the recent Gangstar. Dub in the name will be a brother who is trapped in the world of crime.
Or Gumrah will have a heroine (Sridevi) caught up in a drug crime. These people are helpless in the face of the situation, so they are not heroes. The success of Mahesh's film is that the audience feels that they are among them.
