The religious identity of a poor, dead man fuels wildfire debates, political powwows, communal commotion and curfew in a village - famed for its inflammable religious sensitivity.
Review: Actor Satish Kaushik's massive bare body - with a belly of colossal proportions - dunked in a mud-bath, is one of many horrific-hilarious moments in this socio-political satire that's inspired by a true incident. Here's how the tamasha unfolds. A taangewala (he's Hamid for Muslims and Kishen for Hindus) is killed when a life-sized cut-out of a neta accidentally falls on him. Suddenly, from an ignominious nobody he turns into a sought-after dead body. The Hindus insist he should be cremated, the Muslims want him buried. Court demands proof of birth, death, marriage, even circumcision. Alas, there's none!
Slogans like "Nahin bangle, nahin gaadi, humko de do Kishan ki body", hilariously heighten the fanaticism amidst aam junta. There's also an opportunistic heavyweight newspaper publisher Mutthaseth (Kaushik), the Editor, Kulkarni, burying the real stories (and his journalism ethics) for shallow sensation and a parody of other curious characters in this satirical dramedy.
From the director of the National Award winner 'Gandhi, My Father' and highly acclaimed play 'Tumhari Amrita', 'DTD' is disturbing, thought-provoking and humorously
