Absolutely, the line between fiction and reality can blur, especially when it comes to the portrayal of societal issues in movies. Gruesome realities of realpolitik often find their way into film scripts, shedding light on the harsh truths that exist in the world. Incidents depicted on screen can sometimes be uncomfortably close to real-life events, highlighting the thin boundary between fiction and reality.
Environmental concerns often take a back seat in the pursuit of profit, with those in power prioritizing financial gain over the well-being of the planet. This drive for economic prosperity can lead to destruction and devastation, as natural resources are exploited and ecosystems are degraded. It's a sobering reminder of the delicate balance between human progress and environmental preservation, and the consequences of prioritizing short-term gains over long-term sustainability.
As Hero and his friend made their way to the railway station, they stumbled upon a tableau of turmoil and discord. Amidst the bedlam, a stranger emerged, extending a helping hand to safeguard Hero's scooter and offer them a ride in his autorickshaw. Initially wary, Hero's friend voiced suspicions about the stranger's intentions, questioning whether it was merely a guise for profit. However, the auto driver reassured them, emphasizing his altruistic motives and declining any form of payment.
Upon reaching their destination, the auto driver graciously refused Hero's offer to compensate him, unveiling a past marred by hardship and adversity. Recounting a previous altercation where Hero had come to his aid, despite the auto driver's brusque demeanor as a precautionary measure, he expressed gratitude for Hero's intervention. Having lost his livelihood as a farmer to the pervasive injustices of the system, the auto driver now navigated the streets as an auto driver to eke out a living.
Moved by the auto driver's narrative, Hero bid him farewell with a promise of a chilled beer upon his triumphant return from the civil services interview, a light-hearted gesture amidst the gravity of their exchange. However, their departure was rudely interrupted by a harrowing spectacle: the auto driver being mercilessly pursued and assaulted by a group of eunuchs armed with petrol-filled balloons. Despite Hero's frantic efforts to intervene, they arrived too late. The auto driver had become a victim of barbaric violence and societal apathy.
The grim episode left Hero deeply unsettled, prompting a sobering reflection on the harsh realities faced by farmers and the callous exploitation perpetuated by those in power. As the train resumed its journey, a palpable heaviness lingered in the air, casting a shadow over the anticipation of Hero's impending interview, as the weight of the world's injustices weighed heavily on his mind.
