Maachis
Maachis (transl. Matchsticks) is a 1996 Indian period political thriller film directed by Gulzar and produced by R. V. Pandit. It stars Chandrachur Singh, Om Puri, Tabu, and Jimmy Sheirgill in the lead roles. The film portrays the circumstances surrounding the rise of the Sikh insurgency in Punjab in the 1980s. The title is a metaphor that conveys that any nation's youth are like matchsticks which be can be used to light a lamp or a fuse that will blow dynamite. The movie depicts how corrupt political and policing systems implement willful policies, ploys to target and subdue people just because they belong to a particular sect/caste. The protagonist in the movie becomes a victim of such atrocities that spark transformation in his character. He goes from being an ordinary boy next door to an angry, vengeful person who pursues his version of justice, as the system responsible for it has failed him. Gulzar's direction and Vishal Bhardwaj's music made Maachis both critical and commercial success. To this day, many songs from the film, particularly "Chappa Chappa Charkha Chale" and "Chhod Aaye Hum Vo Galiyaan" get aired on FM radio or TV channels. Tabu won her first Best Actress National award for her portrayal of Virendar Kaur aka Veeran. "Chhod Aaye Hum" was the first Hindi film song sung by the now-famous KK (singer).
