It was a cult film of its time which never got its due. A dark depressing tale of a young man trying to find his voice against all odds. Was critically acclaimed, all the possible four stars too, but could never reach out to wider audience because it released with few prints. Made on a shoe-string budget, release was more difficult.
The names were all new then – Aamir Khan, Aditya Bhattacharya, Santosh Sivan and A Sreekar Prasad. 20 years later, they dont need any introduction.
And here is the great news – Raakh will be re-released in theatres again. The dvd is almost impossible to locate. So, all you guys who havent seen it yet, head to your nearest theatres soon. Raakh releases on June 12th, 2009.
The film stars Aamir Khan, Supriya Pathak, Pankaj Kapoor and Naina Balsaver. And here is the promo of the film.
