Music and Terror - Ratnam and Rahman's philosophy of love! Part-2

Just as Mani Ratnam has taken terrorism to express the ongoing instability in the country, so he has taken love to subjugate his own philosophy, beliefs, and myths. The short story of Savitri-Satyaban is written in a short way to show the nature of love. In 'Roza', the director not only tells the story of Kashmir-centric instability but also wants to show the love-husband-wife mentality of the husband and wife from the myth of Savitri-Satyaban. In this story, we see Roger, who lives a simple life in the village of Tirunelveli. Roja's simplicity, the simple straightforward approach seems to have been established by the director in the first fifteen minutes of the movie. Then Rishi Kumar arrived there. He came to the village from the city to get married.

He came to see Rosa's elder sister accidentally married Rosa, which Rosa could not accept. But Rosa does not know yet that her elder sister told him to refuse the marriage. Before the conflict between Rishi and Rosa reached its climax, Rosa knew that her sister had agreed to the marriage. At the same time, guilt and love are transmitted between them. We see the beginning of sweet love between Rishi and Rosa. In the meantime, the sage has to go to Kashmir for work. Roza insists that she too will go to Kashmir with him. The dense jungle of Savitri Satyaban is like restless and unstable Kashmir. Savitri Roza does not want to let the truthful sage go alone in that danger. Visiting Kashmir and at the same time discovering the natural beauty of Kashmir through the eyes of Rosa, the love between the two becomes deeper and deeper. Meanwhile, Rishi Kumar was abducted by terrorists. Just as Yam killed Satyaban and left, and Savitri followed him, after the kidnapping of Rishi, Roza chased the Kashmir army-police like crazy. He even confronts Wasim Khan, a terrorist under tight security. Rosa wants to get Rishi back by any means.

The girl rushed like a simple straight streamless river in the village and became a huge wave in the pursuit of love. He flooded the hardline army of Kashmir, the cabinet in charge. Because of Roger's insistence, the administration agreed to the terms given by the terrorists to rescue Rishi Kumar. In the end, the sage was able to escape with the help of Liaquat's sister, but it was mainly because of Rosa's love and devotion that he got this life. Mani Ratnam paints the blood of Kashmir in white snow, the legend of love in the Mahabharata. Mani Ratnam did not show just to show love. He also created the atmosphere. In every movie, he has changed his weather. In the movie Roza, Kashmir is shown as black rugged darkness amidst the snow-white form of Kashmir. Similarly, when he came to Bombay, he flooded the boat of caste with the love of rain. Bombay cinema begins in the middle of the rainy season. This rain is not a pleasant drizzle for love, but a tireless torrential rain that cannot even be seen in front of the human face. Meanwhile, Shekhar from Bombay met Shaila Banu. Ignoring the rain and the burqa, Shaila Banu's heavenly face is exposed in front of Shekhar in turbulent wind. Mani Ratnam has shown Love at First Sight.

Shekhar saw only his face, the black veil was no longer in his eyes. Little did he know that this rain would not stop, but would continue to increase. In the course of events, he met Shaila Banu again and again and his interest increased. Shayla also feels that this boy has fallen in love with her. Maybe there was a one-sided love, maybe Shekhar forcibly fell in love with Shaila, but Shaila also slowly started to feel her love for Shekhar. He can't make a hasty decision like Shekhar, it is not possible for any simple girl in the village to take it. But Shaila also wanted to look as brave as Mani Ratnam Roza. Ignoring the bloody eyes of the whole family, he moved to Bombay relying on Shekhar. There they also had a happy family. The fullness of love to Mani Ratnam is in intercourse. He has celebrated intercourse in Roza and Bombay. In the movie Roza, the couple has celebrated the intercourse of husband and wife on the wedding night. Coming to Bombay, he has added a modern touch, celebrating the arrival of the husband and wife for the first time after the departure of the unwanted children at home with a fast beat Hamma Hamma song. Mani Ratnam has also used nature and music to celebrate Birha. The roar of the songs 'Roza Jaaneman' and 'Tu Hi Re' still moistens the heart of every lover. The pain of living a useless life without a loved one is terribly beautiful in the folds of the mountains of Kashmir and in the aggressive currents of the rainy sea.

The effect of unilateral love in Bulle Shah's song 'Thaiya Thaiya' inspired Mani Ratnam. Teri Ishq Ne Nachaya Karke Thaiya Thaiya - Mani Ratnam wanted to bring the dance music like crazy after losing everything in love in her movie. The mentality between Rishi Kumar and Shekhar without a one-sided love affair, in some cases, forced, was coming up from time to time. But when he came to Mani Ratnam Amar's hand, he showed the ultimate form of unilateral love. The inclusion of terrorism, political instability, love, and separation in these three movies, Roza, Bombay, and Dil, would not have been complete if AR Rahman had not been there. Sometimes his music has overshadowed the philosophy and time of cinema. It is better not to write about music that can be superior to such philosophy. In the next episode, I will discuss AR Rahman's musical trilogy. You also need to know the story of the song, the pain, the scream, the music that will continue to play in your ears for hundreds of years.
