2018年印度的“申奥片”,印度自嘲式喜剧电影,影片由阿米特·玛祖卡尔执导,主演拉吉·库玛饰演一名被委派到冲突地区,完成选举任务的政府职员。在这样的雷区中进行“自由公平”的选举并不是儿戏,他决心定要尽自己的职责。影片与印度以往载歌载舞的影片非常不同,影片没有用歌舞的形式,也讲了一个非常好的故事,根据在柏林电影节看过的网友说,影片“前半部分略有疲软,后半部分渐入佳境。 是一部有担当、有情怀的电影。”As India, the world's largest democracy, braces itself for another general election- with 9 million polling booths, more than 800 million voters, and costing nearly $5 billion -- Newton Kumar, a rookie government clerk finds himself entrusted with a task that appears deceptively simple: conducting elections in a remote village in the jungles of central India. The bushes teem with Communist guerrillas, who have been waging a decades old war against the state, even as the indigenous tribals live without any access to mainland amenities. Conducting 'free and fair' elections in a minefield like this is no child's play, as Newton learns over the course of this eventful day. Unfazed with the cynicism and danger all around him, Newton is determined to do his duty. But, as they say in the jungle, 'The more things change, the worse they will get'.
