If the intention and goals of a film were all that counted, Punch would rate much higher for me. I like what the movie sets out to do, and I don’t mind the less than premier production values. Imagine a movie listing only twelve actors in the credits! But the movie takes shortcuts and stretches my belief of how much change is possible quickly in a character. And where it might have hoped to be edgy and original, it comes off as exploitive and somewhat icky, to use a less than technical review term. Given the level of her psychological damage and pain, Ariel comes too far too fast in her development as a character. This story should have been handled in a miniseries at least, its time frame extended, and less emphasis on the shock value of a social taboo and, well, ickiness. But I watched the whole thing under some weird fascination, because there were kernels of potential here and there that, if explored rather than exploited, might have made for a complex and perhaps more engrossing story. But, sigh, I don’t usually rate for potential and I shouldn’t start now. I don’t regret watching it, but if I had paid 15 cannolis and used a rare trip to the theater doing it, it would be a different story.

Babruvahana

Babhruvahana, like Arjuna at the beginning of the Kurukshetra war, faces a moral dilemma. Can he risk harming his parents? While Chitarangada alerts Arjuna to shoot an arrow at their son and take advantage of Babhruvahana’s momentary lapse due to a sense of devotion towards them (as Arjuna did with Karna), Uluci, the Naga princess and yet another abandoned wife of Arjuna’s, reminds Babhruvahana of the teaching of the Kurukshetra battle that in the battlefield there is no space for feelings even towards parents. What Babhruvahana must do is to establish his mother’s good name and thereby his own character. This film captures this conflict spectacularly. The eerie parallels with the moral dilemmas of the great Mahabharata battle aside, here all the familial relationships (in particular, strong mothers and dutiful sons) become exaggerated and demand our attention.
