Description: “Nazarandaaz,” released in 2022, tells the heartwarming story of Sudhir, a compassionate blind man in his mid-50s who lives with his housekeeper, Bhavani. When Sudhir encounters Ali, a thief, he offers him food and employment at his home. This gesture sparks jealousy between Bhavani and Ali as both become fixated on Sudhir’s wealth. The central question is whether Sudhir will fall victim to their schemes or if he has his own plans to outwit them. The film’s underlying message, “Life is beautiful; it’s all about perspective,” resonates throughout the narrative, which is simple yet filled with hope. Kumud Mishra delivers a touching performance that enhances the story’s emotional depth.
Directed by Vikrant Deshmukh in his debut, the film opens with a poignant scene where Sudhir helps another visually impaired person cross the road, offering the advice, “Don’t make taking help a habit, or you’ll remain stuck.” Deshmukh skillfully handles the story, particularly in the second half, where the tone shifts to a more emotional and impactful narrative. Writer Rishi Virmani crafts relatable characters like Bhavani, who cares for Sudhir, and Ali, who enriches Sudhir’s world with imaginative tales. The audience is drawn to Sudhir, a man determined to fulfill his dreams.
The first half of the movie is a whirlwind as Bhavani and Ali vie for Sudhir’s favor to secure his property. However, the story takes a deeper, more emotional turn after the interval, culminating in a heartfelt climax that leaves a lasting impression. The soundtrack by Vishal Mishra complements the film’s mood, though only the song “Lootere Aa Gaye” stands out. The cinematography beautifully captures the essence of Mumbai and Gujarat, adding authenticity to the plot. “Nazarandaaz” is a tale of life, hope, and the power of perspective, leaving audiences moved by its sincerity.
