Plot

edit

Perplexed and frustrated with life in Bombay's corrupt colleges, Lecturer Siddharth Archarya decides to relocate to a small town called Samaypur, where he feels he will get some satisfaction in teaching youngsters who are not influenced by politics. Alas, he is wrong. Student union rivalry and hatred have encompassed the entire town; fights break out frequently, mostly between two rival student leaders, Pratap and Rajbir, who are children of local political leaders, Harphool Singh and MLA Balli Tai. Siddharth decides to garner their energy positively by making them renovate the college building - with disastrous results - and no hopes for a reconciliation. Things get even more complicated when both young men fall for a colleague, Sundari, who wants to marry Pratap. It is then that the parents of both Rajbir and Pratap meet secretly and decide what their sons' and Samaypur's fate is going to be.

Reception

edit

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1+12 stars out of 5, writing "Director Saurabh Shukla is a fairly good story teller, but he seems to have got confused midway, whether to make a realistic film or a love triangle, with songs aplenty. On the technical side, the cinematography is just about okay. Dialogues are well penned at places, especially the ones delivered by the two warring politicians".[1] Subhash K. Jha of The Times of India wrote that "Though Mudda finally fails to have its say cogently there are sparks here to indicate a watchable directorial debut".[2]
