Why saying so?

  It's probably irrelevant that this movie gave me the inspiration for two story ideas, but, well, it did. A Romantic Comedy with two brothers, with lots of money that they don't know what to do with, live in a quaint little house. They are constantly told they are worthless. They eventually both meet women and fall in love. But, thinking they are worthless, pretend to be different than they are, and each time they bring the girls over to their house they decorate the house differently. Queue hilarious scene where both the brothers are decorating the house, unknowing that the other is there. Also a YA drama. A villain studies people from around the world, chooses the best, most morally good people, kidnaps them, wipes their memory, and puts them in a village, letting them all be nice and have fun. The latter needs a lot of work.

  But anyways. The movie. The movie was entitled "Indrani." We watched said movie. 

  The movie shows a couple shunned by their families for marrying each other - the two being from entirely different castes. While it didn't seem clear to me, it seemed the woman, Indrani, was a higher-class, maybe a Brahmin, and the guy, who seems to have had several names, was a much lower class who was not only shunned because of his marrying Indrani, but earlier because he "didn't work."   

 The film is clearly not a propaganda film, but rather an ideological film. It very nicely portrays what it's ideal world is. One where everyone works for the benefits of everyone else, and there is no discrimination, and no elites, and if you take away all outside help, s long as everybody worked together, everything would be fine.  

  The movie shows Indrani and the dude's relationship struggle to remain stable - much like the relationship between the high and the low castes of the time. The lower castes were becoming restless with feeling so useless and segregated, but the higher castes remained mostly oblivious.

  Indrani is busy with work and never spends any time with her husband, who subsequently gets angry with her. He tries to find work, but is repeatedly shunned, so finally he leaves her to help start up a village far away.

 Upon hearing of this, Indrani comes to him, gives him a lecture about how grown up he suddenly is, and then the village is struck by lightning and burnt to the ground, and in the aftermath the two embrace, and roll credits.

  The film has quite a few songs in it, and, when you get past the horrid translation, actually still don't really make a lick of sense. 

An example of horrid translation from Bengali to English. "My heart is a crane, spreads its wings for fly to the unknown invitation." Yikes. 

  Sure it all sounds well and good, but when you dig in it doesn't really do that much. "The stars and moon are drunk." Okay. Yup. What does that mean?
  There were some tidbits here and there that made sense. Something about giving up everything for love.
  Sacrificing elitism for equality? Maybe. Dunno.

  It was a decent film, but honestly - is Indrani, the namesake of the movie, I might add, the villain? Cause she seems that way. A lot of the dude's hardships are her fault. For Pte's Sake, they were married, and she refused to sleep in the same room. (Is it some strange Indian cultural thingamajig?)
