Main Azaad Hoon a bollycat of Meet John Doe

| | Comments (0)

A newspaper reporter exploits an ordinary man for few rupees to pose as a man who is fighiting against the corrupt politicians and prints imaginary stories in his name to improve the circulation of her newspaper. People take him for real and he becomes a powerful leader of poorman. One day the paper prints a letter in his name that he is going to end his life fighting corruption.

This puts the ordinary man in a fix. He knows that at this juncture he can't refute the accuracy of all those stories. He also realises that he is the sole hope of millions. Finally, he buckles under moral pressure and jumps from an incomplete multi-storied building and ends his life.

This is perhaps one of those rare BollyCats which is more powerful than the original because the content and theme fit much better on the Indian society, than on it's Western counterpart.
