Review of the movie Hamid: The star of the movie Aijaz Khan is undoubtedly Talha Arshad Reshi

Taking place in Kashmir and inspired by real incidents, the film Aijaz Khan Hamid is a fictional tale with flavor local and universal appeal. An adaptation of the piece "Phone No. 786" by Amin Bhat, which represents a boy's loyalty to his father and his determination to bring him back to rebuild his family.

Seen through the eyes of Hamid, 7-year-old son of Rehmat, a ship builder (a person who makes boats to make a living), the film bears witness to the lives of those who are waiting for the return of their loved ones. It reveals their pain and sorrow.
To balance the Yin and Yang of history, we have Abhay, the Indian soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, deployed there to bring peace.

The story begins on a simple note describing life in the state and father- until one fine day, the father disappears without losing a moment.

Devastated by his pbading, Hamid attempts to search him until one of his clbadmates informs him that his father is gone for Allah. One of Rehmat's colleagues, the benefactor of Hamid, informs him that Allah has taken away his father because he was a good craftsman and a decent human being.

From this moment on, Hamid tries to contact "Allah" to convince him (Allah) to dismiss his father. The way in which it is taken is the essence of the story.

The story is told in a simple yet intelligent way, with layers to interpret. It addresses issues such as the situation in Kashmir, the evolution of life and the difficulties that people have to bear. It also gives us a glimpse of the life of the armed forces that are there to maintain the peace and scornful behavior of the state police.

The texture of the film is similar to that of a scenic art film. In addition to the plot, the regional settings and dialogues between Hamid and Abhay keep the audience focused on the screen.

The cast is also perfect. Each actor plays his part honestly. Rasika Dugal is a competent actress and her mother Ishrat, who suffers stoically from suffering, is conscientious and convincing. Thus Sumit Kaul, Rehmat, the father of Hamid, and Vikas Kumar, Abhay repentant.

But the star of the film is undoubtedly Talha Arshad Reshi who, with his sparkling eyes and striking behavior, describes Hamid with sincerity. He is simply charming. You will love his courage and his honesty and he will do justice to his character. There are times when you make fun of his naivety and your heart bleeds when he cries when it comes true.

Some moments seem forced into the story, especially when, at a bus stop, a funeral goes by, Rehmat stops to "give the shoulder" to the coffin, knowing that his son would miss the bus. At another time, at the army barracks, soldiers dance to the sound of music and the channel is switched by Abhay. Both episodes are designed and executed lazily.

DOP John Wilmor deserves congratulations because his cinematography is another highlight of the film. His goal captures the beauty of places as well as the emotions of people with equal frankness. Some frames appear superimposed, especially the last scene when Hamid's red boat glides over the serene waters of the lake. This picture is haunting.

Note: 3.5 / 5
