Audience Reviews for Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa (Mother of 1084)
A hard hitting drama about the Naxal movement in West Bengal in the 1970s and how a young man gets drawn towards it. Power house performance by Jaya Bachchan as the pain stricken but resolute mother, Sujata Chatterjee. Joy Sengupta puts in a commendable act of the angst driven, ideologically articulate but dynamic youth, Brati Chatterjee. Definitely one of those special movies for me, which I couldn't take my eyes off. Must watch. And do try and appreciate every little thing this movie has to offer. 4/5.
