PART 1 , PART 2 , PART 3 In her remarkable debut film journalist-activist Shonali Bose shows us the pitfalls of forgetting the lessons of our past. The domino effect dominates the psyche of Amu . You can’t get away from looking the truth straight into the eye as Kaju, freshly returned from LA armed with her trademark mineral bottle(looking like a portable version of Mohan Bhargava in Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades ) sets off to discover the “real” India. Through the character of Kaju’s cynical friend (played by newcomer Ankur Khanna) Shonali Bose takes perky potshots at the dispossessed people who return to their roots with stars in their eyes and video-cameras in their hands. That entire episode about Kaju’s touristic tryst with a awestuck low-income family in a Delhi chawl , is funny at one level, but also exasperating at another. You want Bose to get to the point. The build-up takes a bit of doing. Bose takes us into Kaju’s warm adopted Bengali joint-family, insinuates our perceptions into the comfort zone of a Sooraj Barjatya family done up in authentic shades. Enter the gloriously beautiful Brinda Karat as Kaju’s mother. Then begins Kaju’s confrontation with her adoptive past.... Amu isn’t the first mother-daughter film to take its protagonist through a journey into her troubled past. Tanuja Chandra’s Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar and Khalid Mohamed’s Fiza adopted the same fascinating format where the female protagonist journeyed into her past.
