TFU Rating: 3.5/5
Girish Malik's film 'Jal' tells the story of a dry land, and an attempt to get water back to it. But here in the Great Rann of Kutch water's not the only thing being scoped out. It's a story of people and how their lives are weaved together. Watch the movie if such 'experimental' movies interest you, or any new kind of cinema. In case pure entertainment is your drug, skip this one.
Story:
In the rustic desertland of India emerges the story of Bakka and his village folk, who're so caught up in their war for water that it dilutes all other emotions. Most of all - love!
The story opens with a small village in Kutch. A young orphan boy called Bakka lives here in his friend Rakala and his sister Kajri's house. He is the who tries to find out where they dig to find water. The neighbouring village, on the other hand, is well off in that sense, and also because it houses the village head's daughter Kesar, for whom Bakka has a liking.
Soon there's a change in their quiet village life. A lady from Russia, Margaret enters their lives. She's come there in search of flamingoes that are spotted in Kutch during this time. She soon discovers that Kutch is now a drier land than it was before and the reason why flamingoes are fewer in number. She contacts some officials and gets some digging started. The first to join the effort is a tourist guide, and the villagers soon follow suit.
Bakka manages to shine here too. He gets Kesar too. But all this effort with the digging leaves them nowhere. It's almost as if the water's disappeared. And soon start the water wars in a village that was once happy, quiet and with ambition.
Review:
Time for a desert safar(i). So carry gallons of water (even blood can't buy you more), ample sun block and a spirit that doesn't drain along the dusty roads (of Rann of Kutch, Gujarat). There will be camels for company too, so beware; it will be a slow, rugged, bumpy, but breathtaking ride.
Bakka's (Purab) the paani ka devta of his poor, water-starved village in the middle of the desert. He's blessed with the power of divining water spots in barren lands. There's also a scorching enmity with the neighbouring gaon as they own a water well and Bakka's sweetheart, Kesar (Kirti). In the meanwhile, a pretty Russian animal activist, Kim (Jules) (who makes the village men's throat go dry!) sets camp here to save flamingos from dying in the only water-body in the village. Fascinated with the gori chamri villagers enthusiastically help her to source fresh water for the feathered beauties. Her project soars, but what about the drought-struck village-folk who are waiting to break into a blood bath over one boond of water?
'Jal' captures the bare beauty of the golden cracked earth and its tortuous tapestry in artfully mounted frames (cinematography: Sunita Radia). It's a picture-perfect album with stark sights and parched souls. The story is stirring, handling several complex issues in the same breath, and yes, that does leave us a bit thirsty. It also needs a better edit. There are over-dramatized scenes (Bakka dragged across the desert) to enhance visual impact, but the solid performances and soundtrack make up for it.
Debutant director Girish Malik throws in some light-hearted moments, which nicely water down the intensity of those long, sun-stroked scenes. Purab impressively shines in one of his best roles ever (dashing in his dhotis), Tannishtha is fiery and fabulous, Kirti shows a lot of spark (she's hot too!). Ravi Gossain (as Bakka's best friend) is excellent and Yashpal and Mukul (Bakka's rival) lend good support. The story scatters often like a fistful of sand, yet, for those seeking something different, go quench your thirst.
Purab Kohli's acted well as Bakka. Kirti Kulhari as Kajri did a fabulous job too. The film's cinematography is breathtaking. There some things lacking in the film as well. Just because it's an experimental film doesn't mean the story can run haywire. This is where editing plays a major role so that the duration would've been in check.

Jal was much loved in the film festival circuit. It's great that films like this one get to live their glory on various movie screens. Now, it's up to you really to watch, and judge.
