Click to play videoMumbai: Director Anurag Kashyap's controversial and hard-hitting film Black Friday finally saw the light of the day after lying in the cans for two years. But how are the victims of the 1993 Mumbai blasts, on which the film is based, reacting to it?
It’s been 13 years since the ‘93 blasts, but for some the scars will always remain like 49-year-old Kirti Ajmera who still shudders when he talks about the blasts.
The marketing consultant escaped death when a bomb went off at the Bombay Stock exchange at 1430 hours IST on March 12, 1993.
Ajmera almost lost his right arm, was in hospital for three months and had to undergo facial surgery. Now after more than a decade, he feels he is ready to watch the cinematic version of what must have transpired that Black Friday.
“I wanted to see whether the director had done justice to the film or not. This is the first time that I have come for a first day, first show, otherwise I never go,” Ajmera says.
After watching the film, Ajmera and his family feel that Black Friday is quite realistic but say that the director should have focused on the victims and their plight as well.
“The film doesn't focus on any of the victims. If the government had acted faster then things wouldn't have gone out of hand. Also, if the case wouldn't have lasted for 13 years then the other blasts would not have taken place,” Ajmera says.
With the case dragging for 13 years Ajmera feels, “Justice delayed is justice denied and the victims have not got their due.”
