This week's new Bollywood release, Prime Minister Narendra Modi by director Omung Kumar B is not a biography. It is a comical and comical hagiography of Narendra Modi and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), and even of this euphemistic description. It's a highly fictional tale of the life of the current Indian prime minister.

The reminding value of Omung Kumar has so far been attributed to the very superior Priyanka Chopra-starrer Mary Kom (2014) and the embarrbadingly bad Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Sarbjit (] 2016). Prime Minister Narendra Modi belongs to the category of terrible children, except that it is not fun at all – it is rather an insult to intelligence and knowledge viewers. "Modi ek insaan nahin, ek soch hai (Modi is not a person, Modi is a way of thinking / a concept)," says the protagonist himself at one point. Aur Modi ke baare mein soch badalne liye ke to change the thinking of Modi, the script – co-written by Anirudh Chawla and the leader, Vivek Anand Oberoi – badyzes the facts through a carefully selected sieve and presents a new history rewritten so far from the past In reality, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reminded me of a scene from the Malayalam feature film of last year Kammara Sambhavam, in which the Hero watches Press Film on his life and does not recognize himself on screen.

Things that did not happen In Modi 's life, this film is supposed to have taken place: during his arrest during the emergency, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Prime Minister of the time, praising him to the press during the 2002 riots, in the run-up to the 2014 elections Modi is shown willing to do a live interview with a hostile television reporter in front of an audience and do it. Faced with such liberties with facts involving or major historical events, all the other foolishnesses and weaknesses of Prime Minister Narendra Modi – the word "grateful" being spelled " In the opening thanks, the lazy caricature of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the corrupt colleague of the Modi government in Gujarat, the false suggestion that Modi never married, other monumental exaggerations and misrepresentations in the scenario, Hitesh Modak's invasive background score and narrative – pale in insignificance.

It is worth mentioning here that the aforementioned hostile journalist is a stooge of a corrupt industrialist called Aditya Reddy, played by Prashant Narayanan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi identifies very clearly three enemies: Pakistan, the media and, through the character of Reddy, the South Indian with dark and clean skin.

On the shoulders of Vivek Oberoi The task of playing this larger-than-life version of Modi, resolved to defeat all three. Most of Oberoi's co-stars are comparatively irrelevant because their roles are downplayed by his, but although they have the same hand, their performance is mixed. Manoj Joshi looks strangely depressed while Amit Shah (the full name of the BJP leader is silent in the film), but Boman Irani gives Ratan Tata a certain dignity, just as Zarina Wahab plays the role of the mother of Modi. In an ocean of mediocrity, Anjan Shrivastav makes a pretty good rendition of Vajpayee without resorting to whimsical imitation.

As for Oberoi, well, in the actor who plays his part in this role, there is no trace of the young beginner who showed such a spark under the direction of Ram Gopal Varma in the society of 2002 . It's sad to see an artist lose his touch. For those of us who saw something in him in Company the only consolation is that his turn as Modi is less crazy than his performance as a horny young man in Masti (2004), Grand Masti (2013) and Great Grand Masti (2016).

If you think about it, despite their apparent contrast, the Masti . Trilogy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi both propose conventionally accepted definitions of masculinity. The Masti used burlesque comedy to present us men driven by their lower regions and their hormones as men would naturally be, at least we have been told. In Prime Minister Narendra Modi the hero marries an aggressive, abadual and aggressive machismo, initially evoking the desire to renounce the world and follow the path taken by the Lord Buddha, as well as in the climatic moments attributing his decision – Narendra Modi did it in real life: a 56-inch chest. You see, his political course is not a consequence of personal ambition, it is the answer to the pious desire of the public of " ek sachcha mard (a real man)" to guide them, to quote the words of a character at the beginning of the movie.
