I've always enjoyed special TV shows as a child, but after some time, I just couldn't get the opportunity to keep watching those shows because we moved a lot due to some family challenges. I was so fond of watching movies back then, especially movies from which I could learn something inspiring or interesting. I was never just after fun when it came to movies, and that was one reason why I was never selective about the kind of movies I watched - be it Nollywood, Bollywood, Hollywood, or others - as long as there was something valuable to learn, I didn't mind at all.
Due to the fact that I always liked watching movies based on the fact that I wanted them to impact me somehow, I could easily get attached or detached from a movie.
So far, so good, I've been privileged to see quite a lot of movies from which I've learned a thing or two, and I can recommend quite a lot of them. But it's too sad that most people have too many silly limitations when it comes to the movies they watch, but then I hope I get to share this particular movie with someone who would indeed take their time to check it out and thank me later, hehe. I'm not so good at making movie reviews, and I always try as much as I can to avoid it, but it's always interesting and daring when I get to see prompts like that, which help me give it a try.
Movies have different purposes for different people, and sometimes we only want to focus more on the entertainment part, but then there are a lot of movies out there that are channelled in a way that helps us learn something unique about life, and this particular movie is one of them. In fact, one of my favourite quotes is from this movie, which says, "Success is not a destination, as so many think; it is a journey."
So, without further ado, let's dive into the movie that always steals the show for me! Trust me, you don't have to enjoy my write-up to check out this movie because I'm not so good at making movie reviews; just go and check it out and be proud that you did. This movie is titled MAHARSHI, an Indian movie that tells the story of a man named Rishi. In the movie, though not a true life story, it tells of the importance of friendship, love, and sacrifice.
Rishi, due to his humble background, was so determined to make it really big in life, as he was so irritated by the life his father lived. He was so dedicated and determined to his course of being the most successful person of his time, and that made him sacrifice so much. He was so sure that he would succeed, and his determination made so many people amazed. Most of them never believed he would make it, only his friend, who happened to be his roommate and also one of his lecturers in school, knew what he was capable of, and they supported him all the way.
After school, he submitted his proposal to different companies, but some companies tried to buy off his proposal because they thought, since he was poor, he would accept the offer immediately, but then he refused. I can remember the shock on their faces as Rishi gave them a deal instead. Too bad they rejected it, and that made Rishi even more determined. He had so many people he needed to prove wrong, and he was willing to sacrifice so many things just to meet his goal. At some point, he was framed, and unknowingly to him, his friend Ravi took the fall for him.
In the end, he became really successful, but then he lost some good people along the way that he needed to reconcile with, but that was the challenge he had to face. He later got to find out the sacrifice his friend Ravi suffered for him to get to where he was, and he had to go look for him to give him a good life, but then his friend wanted something else, and he had to do everything in his power to give that particular thing to his friend. In all his pursuit of success, what kept him going was the fear of failing.
This movie is one that would teach you how to keep striving even when it gets harder and also the importance of building the right relationships. I have seen this movie more than three times now, and I still don't mind watching it again because it's possible that I might have missed a lesson or two from it. Well, below is the trailer from YouTube; do check it out and also do well to check out the full movie to benefit well from it.
