And the ploy doesn’t seem wasted or gimmicky either, because you get to the truth along with the protagonist. He uses a similar plot device as the classic, where Dhruv gets to know about the last days of his father’s life from the point of view of several characters that have a stake in the proceedings. Does he give in to anger and spiral out? Or does he look at things for what they truly are?įirst time filmmaker Atanu Mukherjee seems to have been inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s 'Rashomon'. But as another tragedy strikes, with the passing of his father in a violent road accident, Dhruv has to make certain choices which will affect how his life shapes up.
In the beginning we see Dhruv, an aggressive young boy whose life changes when he is sent to a boarding for assaulting his schoolmate. At its heart, ‘Rukh’ is a coming-of-age film.
The film moves at a perfectly natural pace. It does not travel at a breakneck speed as most thrillers do, but the timing is not slow either. Rukh Review: As far as thrillers go, ‘Rukh’ is a one-of-a kind Hindi film. As days go by, he begins to suspect that his father’s death is probably not an accident but a murder. Rukh Story: After the sudden death of his father Diwakar Mathur (Manoj Bajpayee), young Dhruv comes back from boarding school to be with his mother Nandini (Smita Tambe).
