'Sehar' is a true story so obviously it has limited audience. Even then, of the serious moviegoers, how many of them do you really think want to witness a story that they have seen in innumerable films in the recent past, unfolding on screen? Agreed showing reality on screen is a huge effort and deserves appreciation, but guys don't forget that at the end of the day we are largely catering to the masses. Too much of high flown stuff can misfire. And how many of us are really aware of the real life incident that rocked U.P.? It's not like one is watching a film on the notorious Veerapan!
'Sehar' is so close to reality, that the Officers of STF that have been instrumental in the rescue of the Mumbai Stock Broker's son, have been very closely involved in this movie by providing the key inputs for it. The film brings out the issues that eclipse the cultural heritage of Lucknow and was actually shot for 62 days in Lucknow to bring in the real essence of the place. But this will surely go against it, especially as far as Mumbai and the other metro cities are concerned.
