Welcome to Sajjanpur is from one of the India's most experienced director Shyam Benegal. In times where people go to see well advertised movies, world of glamor and glitz here is a movie which challenges the Bollywood trend of running behind Khans, Roshans, Bachans and heavy budgets. What's distinctive about this movie is simple story telling, exceptional direction, and a team of actors who have lived their character. With a simple village theme the movie talks about a failed novel writer who changes the lives of many characters simply by writing letters on their behalf. He also realizes some of his mistakes and overcomes them. The movie always makes you wonder what's going to happen next. Hindi movie industry would need more movies like this to breed good directors, actors. The movie also light heartedly criticizes Indian politics; it creates some unbelievable twists to the story. The movie is full of fun, energy, simplicity and twist. I would give 10 out of 10 for this movie.
