GANGA JAMUNA SARASWATI RIVER SANGAM MOVIE

In this excerpt from the recently published book, ' Kumbh Mela, January 2013: Mapping the Ephemeral Mega City,' Rahul Mehrotra, Chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design at the Harvard GSD, and Felipe Vera, Co-director of the Center for Ecology, Landscape and Urbanism at UAI DesignLab, explain how infrastructure and street grids are deployed in a way that not only enables the Kumbh Mela festival itself, but enhances its ephemeral and democratic spirit. Standing at the Kumbh Mela at night looking towards an endless functioning city where the temporary construction of the nagri is fused with the city of Allahabad, there are two things that one cannot avoid asking: 1) How was this enormous city planned in terms of scale and complexity? 2) How is the city actually constructed? One of the most interesting elements about the construction process of the city is that unlike more static and permanent cities-where the whole is comprised of the aggregations of smaller parts, constructed in different moments that are tied together by pre-existing and connecting urban infrastructure-the city of the Kumbh Mela is planned and built all at once, as a unitary effort. I highly disliked it and found it quite pathetic.Part of Acciavatti's diagram 'Triveni Sangam: Celestial-Terrestrial Microcosm, 2006'.

GANGA JAMUNA SARASWATI RIVER SANGAM MOVIE

Fans of this sort of movies would probably enjoy it, since it's a movie which requires no brain and is not to be taken seriously. Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi was his final offering as a director. Manmohan Desai has had a prolific career, and I quite enjoyed some of his movies. Nirupa Roy is the typical suffering mother, and Amrish Puri is the typical cruel villain. Jaya Pradha, as the golden-hearted prostitute, and Meenakshi Sheshadri, as the vivacious gypsy, are pretty. Mithun Chakraborty is given a role of minimal substance, and well, he too is okay. In terms of acting he does an okay job, still considering the film's poor writing.

Bachchan is terribly miscast simply because he looks too old for the part. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan as Ganga. They all were ridiculous and unintentionally funny.

I'm talking about the overly silly proceedings with almost every character going superhuman and supernatural, and the moments of lucky coincidence, which Manmohan Desai is so famous for. At times the movie was really unbearable, but it had its moments from time to time, though they still did not make it a worthy watch. The action sequences were, as expected, very overdone, and so was everything else in the movie, which was totally melodramatic, often for no reason. Technically the movie is also very bad, though that was the case with most Hindi movies of its sort at that time. The story of the film is very corny and almost every plot element looks familiar, forced and predictable, and is based on impossible coincidences. The movie follows, clichГ© after clichГ©, the stories of its main characters, Ganga, Jamuna, Shankar (who is for some reason omitted from the title) and Saraswathi. Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi is an awful film.
