Avinash

When I say it's unforgettable I really mean it. I remember watching this film as kid when it was released in 1986 and it's still fresh in my head. Thanks to VCR rental service those days I saw this film at least 7-8 times in the span of 3 months. While I was loving this film, most of the elders or friends of my age would find it crap or boring. Unfortunately the film was also supper flop on it's theatrical release, but I use to recommend it to everyone who would plan to rent VCR next weekend and next day I would get abuse from friends, rarely I wold get appreciation for the recommendation.

Much later when I became part of film industry also got expose to international cinema as part of my staple diet and happens to watch "Bourne Identity" I kept thinking why I feel I have already seen this film or this story sounds very familiar, while it was newly released film in 2002, much later I could decode that why I felt BI is known to me. We did produce this film based on the same Novel much before Hollywood produced it. And yes I must admit for 1986 that film was ahead of it's time.

Anyway I am big fan of Umesh Mehra he was really modern director for that time. in the age of 12-13 if knew the name of direcotr and his entire filmography that it self shows impact of his work on my mind while I was living in a small village of Chhattisgarh.

I would recommend film lovers you must watch Avinash as tribute to original novel.
