Leader

A dream is not what you see in your sleep.......
A dream is something that doesn’t allow you to sleep!!

This is my first reaction to the movie I have longed to watch for more than a month....LEADER!!

Hope for a better future being the central theme of the movie, the story revolves around a young man destined to become the chief minister of a state. This young man is portrayed as a dynamic, virile and smart individual who was inspired by his mother to stand up for those who entrusted him with that power, to support those who depended upon him,......As she aptly puts it..........

“Prajalu chachipotunnaru raa.......rajakiyanetala meeda nammakam ledu raa...... vallaki china hope ni ivva ra!!”
Translation: People are dying, they have lost hope on all the politicians; what they need is a small hope!!

India proudly produces world’s finest engineers, doctors, managers and other highly qualified intellectuals, yet we remain as a developing country with more than 60% of the population living in the BPL (below poverty line).Change.... a small change is what we need....but there is no one out there to actually do it. This is because we are afraid....afraid to dream of doing something good and beneficial to a community. What we lack is not the availability of resources, we lack courage!! –courage to rise against oppression....... Courage is not the absence of fear; it’s the understanding that something else is more important than fear. Quoting Rabindranath Tagore “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high- into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.” - it’s time we clear the mess created by our forefathers viz., corruption, inequality, casteism, crime against children and women,.......it is time that we be the voice of the voiceless!!

It is time we make a small difference........!!
