Ehsaas – a Feeling<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What is it with sports movies having weird taglines in English? Ehsaas literally translated does mean feeling and one does not realize why the makers need to remind the viewers what the title means. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>This Mahesh Manjrekar directed film released in the year 2001 starred Sunil Shetty and Master Mayank, as father and son respectively, with the drama revolving around a junior running race competition. Shetty being the fitness freak wants his son to be an athlete and win the 400 meters race in the All India Inter School’s Meet. The poor child is almost tortured by his father, mentally and physically and slowly starts hating him and even rebelling against him. Neha (now Mrs Manoj Bajpai) who plays their neighbour and the young boy’s close friend and confidante plays the female lead. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The movie is as predictable as a Hindi film can get. Just as the young boy starts practicing for the final tournament, he meets with an accident and the father’s dreams come crashing down. As for what happens next, it does not take a genius to guess that by the time the movie is over the boy would win the race even if he were limping. The father would then beam with joy and our ‘neighbourwaali’ aunty would soon become the little boy’s unofficial mummy. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Surprise Surprise -The movie also has singers like Anand Raaj Anand and Sunidhi Chauhan making guest appearances. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The only Ehsaas you are left with after watching this flick is an exhausted feeling as if it is you and not the child who has run the 400-meter race.<br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
