What Javed Akhtar said about Assi
Recently, lyricist Javed Akhtar reviewed the film, calling it “very graceful.” He said that the film is “deeply emotional” and that it will “resonate with ordinary people.” Javed said that the film touched his heart and mind as well. As quoted by India Today, he had said, “Some pictures touch your heart. And some films operate on an intellectual level; they engage your mind. But very few films manage to touch both your heart and your mind at the same time. I believe Assi is one such film.”
“On one level, it is a deeply emotional story that will resonate with ordinary people. But on another level, it leaves behind some very serious questions. It does not hand out easy answers. Instead, it places those questions before society. Anyone who thinks deeply, who pays attention to what is happening around us, will walk away from this film reflecting on it. It has been narrated in a very graceful and compelling manner. And ultimately, the film leaves you with both answers and questions,” he had added.
