Director: Shyam Benegal
Release Date: 19 September 2008
Stroryline: Mahadev (Shreyas Talpade) is a B.A. pass, but unable to find a job, is forced to make a living writing letters for the uneducated people of his village. His real ambition is to become a novel writer. Though only a villager, Mahadev has the potential to change lives. How he can do this is shown in this satirical take on an Indian village.
Mahadev’s childhood crush Kamla (Amrita Rao) is desperate for communication from her husband Banshi Ram (Kunal Kapoor). A jealous Mahadev writes completely the opposite of the loving messages Kamla wants to give, while faking what her husband has written to her. There is a harried mother (Ila Arun) who wants to get her manglik daughter married, a eunuch Munni who is contesting the elections for the village Sarpanch but is tired of the danger to her life by an opposing candidate, and a love-lorn doctor (Ravi Kishan) who is crazy about the widowed daughter-in-law of a retired army soldier and many other letters. Mahadev manages to get his friend engaged, police protection for Munni, and almost kisses Kamla before they are interrupted. However Munni is killed, and he learns a shocking truth about Kamla’s husband
It soon turns out that the story was a fictional novel written by the real Mahadev, but it is mostly based on his own experiences. Though it turns out that some of the villagers didn’t exactly have happy endings, Mahadev managed to improve his life, and sort out his mistakes.
