First Day First Show :Toilet - Ek Prem Katha
This is Akshay Kumar's first movie after winning the National award for the best actor. He is paired with the talented Bhumi Pednekar who is starring in her second movie after Dum Laga Ke Haisha. The script of this movie revolves around a toilet. The first half is full of romance and the second with drama. Akshay Kumar while doing meaningful cinema has delivered another power packed performance and Bhumi Pednekar is not to be left behind and has come good on her own. Her portrayal of an educated village lady is quite convincing. The lead pair has their chemistry in place and deliver the required message strongly. They are aptly supported by Sudhir Pandey, Durga Khote, Divyendu Sharma, Anupam Kher and the others.
Like most movies this one too begins with love in the air where you get to see a rustic romance between a couple. All he'll breaks loose when a toilet becomes a matter of status and pride for a woman. While there are those who oppose the idea of a toilet, based on old customs and religious grounds. This movie successfully endorses the Swacchh Bharat Abhiyan of the current govt and could very well be used to promote the social cause in the rural areas. This movie could help to further drive the slogan " Jaha Shouch waha Shouchalaya ". There are some sarcastic dialogues which expose the harsh realities of our society. This is not a documentary neither the screenplay is dull or boring. This movie makes for a great watch with family and friends alike. The right message is delivered through means of drama and entertainment.
