Program Note

Joshi and his friends, angry at the corruption of Indian society, are acting themselves. They put on masks and go out on the streets and post videos on YouTube, criticizing and punishing those who disturb public order. What is the end of their heroic play?

Program Note

There is no world of fantasy designed with SF imagination, and no spectacular CG created. Nevertheless, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero is fully enjoyable in India’s social conscience superhero genre. Josh and his friends are young people who have come together to root-out corruption in India and realize justice. They are a little bit ridiculous, they put paper bags over their heads to cover their faxes like masks and run to places where illegal activities are occurring. They perform a protest performance. Also, they take videos of their protest and put them online to get reactions from people. As time goes by, there are disagreement among friends. Some stop protesting and conform to society, becoming workers. While others remain protesters and protest the existing social system. In this process, an unforeseen tragedy arises, and someone is awakened by the shock of what is happening and in order for things to change, they had to be more aggressive. The problems of how illegal relationships between government, police, and legislative bodies have corrupted Indian society is an important theme in Indian films. The young people of India, who are trying to confront their society, have combined the direct action and the mechanism of the online world to create a hero that will come out of this era. Vikramaditya Motwane’s debut film is Udaan (2010), it was invited to the Cannes Film Festival Un certain regard at 2010. Harshvardhan Kapoor, the son of actor Anil Kapoor, who is well-known for his Bollywood films, is seen as a main character to cause the dramatic change in the play. Focusing on his character is one of the ways to enjoy this film. (JEONG Ji-hye)
