Vinashak-Destroyer: The most meaningful ending ever

If you have seen Vinashak starring Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon and Danny, you would relate to the post and if you haven't, after reading this post you would want to see it. I was amazed by the knowledge and insight of the director (Ravi Dewan) and screenplay writer (Rajkumar Santoshi) of this movie. They have definitely done a lot of thinking before writing this movie. Every scene has a message hidden in it and has a broader significance. Climax and ending of the movie are really remarkable and well thought of.

In the climax of the movie our Hero Anna Shetty kills one of the villains Azghar (Mukesh Rishi) by burning him alive. The scene goes like this, there is fight going on between Anna and Azghar and Azghar falls in the water. Anna Shetty throws petrol on the water and burns him alive. After a few minutes Danny arrives at the scene and he sees his body getting explode. (I couldn't understand, how?) After some thought, I realized the brilliance of Santoshi and Dewan. Since the body was burnt in cold water, it was cold outside and hot inside. Due to inside heat of the body which was dying to come out but was not able to because of the cold water surrounding the body, it exploded. The knowledge of science of Rajkumar Santoshi is extraordinary.

Ending of the movie carries even deeper meaning. Lankeshwar (Danny) and Arjun (Anna Shetty) are in the same jail, whose staff is controlled by Danny. Fight breaks out between jail staff and Anna Shetty. Looking at Anna Shetty fighting many to one, one of the jail staff having sympathy with Anna Shetty decides to open another front for jail staff and sets all the prisoners free. At first prisoners fight with jail staff and then they start running carrying Charkhe (Gandhi ji style). I thought probably they will use these Charkhe for breaking out from the jail, but to my astonishment sab ek circle me baith ke sut katne lage. I was wandering ki ye log sut kyon kat rahe hain. Suddenly I saw all the threads converging at one point and at the center one person was joining all the threads. Then I realised the deeper meaning of the scene. They were preparing a rope to hang Lankeshwar. Finally in the end Lankeshwar was hanged by Anna Shetty using the rope made by all those threads. After watching the scene I remembered one quote from Gandhi ji, "If I had to choose between cowardice and violence, I would choose violence." This one scene says it all. Imagine the brilliance of Rajkumar Santoshi and Raj Dewan. This scene clearly says ki agar Anna Shetty ki jagah Gandhi ji bhi hote to wo bhi yahi karte.

I really salute Santoshi and Dewan. Every aspiring script/screenplay writer should worship these talented writer/director.
