Trailer
Cinematography
Kabir Lal's cinematography is exquisite. The beauty of Varanasi has been captured. The visuals really add to the emotional value of the film and show the moods and landscapes of the city.
Direction and Writing
Directed by Anil Sharma, the film is focused on emotional storytelling. Though it does address several important social issues, some of the critics opine that the film is over-stretched at times and falls into melodrama. The dialogues, rich in references to Karl Marx and B.R. Ambedkar, are made to add depth but sometimes preachy.
Music and Sound
The background score matches the emotional content of the film. The songs are average and nothing special.
Conclusion
Vanvaas is a tear-jerker, which talks about the problems the elderly face in today's society. Nana Patekar's performance was great, but the authenticity that he brought to the role will be remembered for long. The melodrama and over-lengthy run time do not matter much in this film. It has an important message for the family and forgiveness.
