JALSA .....A STORY RE MODIFIED



Way back in 2009 i was very much occupied with the recognition process of my school. Lots of tensions and i started to become obese with mounting tensions as well as irregular eating habits. In those days a lot was discussed about Trivikram Srinivas's Jalsa(released on 2nd April 2008). Most of the disagreement with the movie was centred around  Protagonists sudden revelation that he is a Naxalite. Most of the critics blamed the twist as inappropriate as well as senseless.  Some called it absurdity to the extreme. 

Coming to the point i showcased my obesity as a result of tensions as well as restlessness.My student laughed and remarked " the reason" is as simple as Pwan kalyan being Naxalite in the film Jalsa. There was a lot of laughter and afterwards a lot was discussed about the movie. Then at the fag end of the discussion we came up with a story that supports the title as well as the protagonists back drop. Eventually we have forgotten the discussion. I try to bring what ever modification we thought of the story on that day.

Enjoy or curse our creativity levels.

The movie opens in the same manner as the director opens up. The threads with the heroine as well as the villain also remain the same. The villains entry scene where he comes out of jail should be shown as a cross over of protagonists vehicle.  

Most of the times the hero wanders round pubs and costly bars. His behaviour puzzles his friends a lot. He should be shown as craving for the company of rich and spoilt boys. Most of the time he explores ways to enjoy his life. The hero's vehicle most of the times should seem to be coming from an unknown direction every time. Every time the villain comes out of jail the hero's vehicle should be crossing his. 

 His spat with the goon at a pub  leads to the death of the goon who in turn is the son of villain.. Infuriated the villain hounds the protagonist's  friends who were recognised by the goons. The friends bear every pain and secure the identity of their friend.  Even then the hero remains happy and joyful. This attitude infuriates friends however they remain with him. 

The protagonist's meet with heroine's father and  attack on his friends happen on alternate planes. The hero rushes to the hospital and with different scenes ranging from his brothers death to entire family flashing he storms ti the area where the goons are partying. He beats them black and blue and for the first time the friends witness a blood thirsty protagonist. The hero hurls stick towards the goons and warns them with a fire which ends with words......" if you want to know more check about SAHU...THE MOST WANTED MAOIST.

Shocked to find the dreaded naxalite among them the friends slowly try to part ways with him. Meanwhile the heroine attacks the hero for hiding facts from him. The hero tries to bluff but friends force him to reveal his intentions.The heroine walks away.

Hero reveals his story to his friends. The same flashback till the naxalite element steps in. There the voice over reveals he and hero worked together. The narrator and hero identify the villain as the main spearhead of  troubles in he villages. They make his life miserable. With activities coming to a halt and followers fearing the naxalites the villain in a clever ploy reopens a case on him and shifts to the prison where he cannot be touched. He opens up new vistas and expands his empire. Despite several attempts the naxalites fail to break his new security. From jail he controls his entire operations. The top brass feels humiliated and frustrated over these developments. The protagonist blames the way they are conducting operations. He convinces if the villain gets free in this manner it will remain a black mark on them. The top brass then authorise the protagonist and the narrator to devise a plan  to kill the villain. 

As per the plan the hero and his group gets into an encounter with the cops. His duels with heroine's father follows. Pardoned he arrives in the city where the villain is staying in Jail. He joins the college and acquires a "Jalsa" image. Intentionally  he kills the villains son. He wants the villain to be out of jail. Regularly he keeps a vigil on jail. He comes across the villain on his routes. In he jail he irks the villain to come out to kill him. As per his philosophy he frightens the villain who eventually succumbs  to death

Story in this way should have added certain amounts of authenticity to the otherwise breezy script.

And if the directors intention is simply a ;love story he should have done away with the naxalite theme

My student asked" what about the heroine"

I replied::
bale undira ....naxakitelaki love story lu undava.......vaalu maatramu peliichesukora

  1. modified story is good -whatever may be the story it requires some imagination and thought line and that too when good critic feels it is to be like that then it is to be like that - want to see how trivikram responds if he comes across such narration
