Although Awara is from a completely different time and
location, I feel that this film had a great deal of similarities with current popular
Hollywood movies. As I was watching Awara,
I could not help but feel as if I was watching a cartoon that was being
portrayed through real people. Through
the use of exaggerated expression, music, dancing, and a basic plot of good
versus bad, I felt as if I was actually watching a Disney film. There were many
times in which the characters seemed to be expressing their emotions of anger
and love in a way that was almost too obvious. Second, the use of music and
dancing in the film is reminiscent of old Disney movies where one of the main
characters would burst into spontaneous sound and start dancing. Lastly, all
animated movies have a deranged villain who generally plays a large role in the
plot of the movie. This villain acts out of vengeance and greed and multiple
times through the movie has monologues as to why he or she is doing their
horrible tasks. This could be seen through Jagga, the villain in Awara who frequently would reminded the
viewer that he was training the son of the judge to be a bandit for the sole
purpose of seeking vengeance on the judge.
As a result, I feel that Awara
has many similarities with current popular animated movies.
