Zakhm (1998)

**One of the best stories I've ever heard, read or seen**

Everything about this movie is so real that I forgot till the end credits rolled that it was indeed a movie. If i was Mr. Mahesh Bhatt & someone asked me what is the most satisfying thing that you did in life, I'd say it was making ZAKHM.

Every single thing about this movie is top notch be it the story, dialogs, direction, editing, music, songs and the top most - acting. Ajay Devgan, Kunal Khemu, Pooja Bhatt, everyone played their parts to perfection. Even the supporting cast of Ashutosh Rana, Saurabh Shukla, Sharat Saxna, Sonali Bendre and everyone else was equally good.

The sensitive topic of communal tension was so beautifully captured in the movie, that I felt ashamed of being a part of the same species that don't hesitate to take someone's life just because they don't share the same religion.

This movie has reinstated my belief that faith is bigger than any religion. We just gotta have faith in humanity, otherwise the insanity that resides within all of us will prevail & that will be the end of 'US'.

I just wish everyone in the world can have the sensitivity towards others faith as Pooja Bhatt's character had in every religion.

Excellent movie, can be watched by anyone anywhere in the world & be felt moved emotionally!
