*to make up for my non-existent CP
For me three scenes in the movie Garam Hava stand out in
which the director employs a very distinct cinematic approach. These include:
the scene where Salim Mirza speaks to the banker about the status of his loan,
when he approaches several landowners and inquires about renting the place and
lastly when his son, Sikander is interviewing for a job but is rejected last
minute when the vacancy is filled. These
scenes have a singular theme, in each of them the character directly talks into
the camera but the visual appearance of the other person (Hindu) is not
revealed. This depiction of the Indian Hindu as faceless I believe is intentional
because it symbolizes an unknown threat to the security of the Indian Muslim in
terms of job, property and livelihood.
