Ask
any youngster about his dream, and he is most
likely to say, "I want to be very successful
in life." And how do people measure Success?
Most often, through only one currency, which is
currency or money. Wealth. Everyone has the dollar
sign in their eyes, and often, many youngsters
believe that the best and easiest, shortest cut to
wealth is going abroad - to the Gulf, the Middle
East.

But
is life just a bed of roses out there? Not always,
says the story of this thought-provoking film,
Rehguzar - the Road to Destiny.
Inspired
by the real-life experiences of its producer Kesar
Kothali, Rehguzar seeks to paint the real picture
of what happens when, with hopes in their eyes,
the youth of India move abroad, to the Gulf, to
chase their dreams. Especially painting the real
life story of laborers in labor camps in the Gulf.
The helpless labor class, which comes from
different countries to the Gulf, dreaming that
their lives will become a bed of roses once
they get there. What this story narrates is that
life is not so easy in the Gulf too, and most of
the expatriates have to work very hard to make
their mark in order to live up to the expectations
of their family members.
The
story of Rehguzar shows the life of an engineer
Rahul, played by Jimmy shrejill, who comes to
Dubai with great dreams to become rich and famous.
During his endeavors in Dubai, he has to pass
through numerous hurdles, failures and successes.
He encounters a lovely girl, Neha (played by
Salloni), who is the daughter of a rich
businessman (Rajiv Varma and Asha Bachani).
While
the gripping drama of Rahul and his struggles and
dreams unfolds, the film also promises a lot of
comic relief through comedy star Rakesh Bedi, who
plays an ardent fan of the Big B Amitabh
Bachchan. Another actor well known for his comic
roles, Vrajesh Hirjee, plays the role of Rahul’s
best friend.
As
Rehguzar unfolds, it depicts the life of Rahul and
how it changes according to different
circumstances. It is an eye-opener for people back
in India that life is not so easy for their
bread earning loved ones in the Gulf. The story
moves at a fast pace, unfolding fact and fiction,
love and hate, friendship and animosity, sadness
and happiness, attempting to create a blend of a
family entertainer. The audience is likely to
empathise with the dreams and struggles of the
main characters Rahul and Neha. The film is a step
towards Indo-Pak friendship, especially because
Pakistani and Indian stars have worked together in
the film. |
