ZED PLUS MOVIE REVIEW & DESCRIPTION
Story: An unsuspecting local from a Rajasthani small town is picked out by the Prime Minister for zed plus security. The power goes to his head and he develops far-reaching political ambitions.
Review: The film is set in a small town in Rajasthan, in a very rustic setting. Our main character Aslam (Hussain) is the village Simple Simon who by his own admission is a 'puncture-wala' and runs a small, home-grown business. He also has a problem with his neighbour, who he is shown to have a major row with early on in the film. The altercation turns violent however and the two are separated. What is not known to his dutiful and beautiful wife Hameeda (Mona Singh) is that he is having an affair with Saeeda (Ekavali Khanna), who he sneaks out to visit under cover of the night for some sexual healing rather than just polite conversation.
Aslam's luck changes when he, as an important person at a nearby holy place, happens to be around when the Prime Minister of India happens to visit the holy place for blessings. The PM is shown not to speak English and he appears to need his assistant to do translation duties for him. Aslam tells him that he will be blessed if he gives up various vices of the flesh and appetite. The PM replies that he will only give up ladies' fingers, as in, the vegetable. Nonetheless, the PM is grateful to Aslam and provides him with special security after Aslam tells him that he is troubled by certain neighbourhood elements. In time, Aslam gets used to his status and the power goes to his head. He is then persuaded into chasing political ambitions. How he copes with it comprises the rest of the film. The narrative, while apparently authentic is overly long, unfocused and takes too long to get to the point to depict its satirical content. The subject matter could have been interesting but it is mired in tedious, very boring, rural and regional cliches that audiences have already seen, so many times.
Summary : The setting for Zed Plus is a small town in Rajasthan. Set in this situation, the Prime Minister visits a Dargah to seek blessings. He is impressed by Aslam who helps at the said religious place. After seeking his blessings, he asks Aslam what he wants. Aslam replies that he is troubled and needs protection. After that, zed plus security is accorded to Aslam and his wife and he need to get used to that lifestyle. Over time, Aslam's ambitions grow and he is coerced into having political ambitions. He then stands foe elections himself. However, he soon learns about the vagaries of politics and gets his feet on the ground.
