-Susan Sharma ------Man-leopard conflict raises its ugly head through the cries of Zaidi (Jaafri's son in the movie), whose sense of the forest enables him to realise that the just severed head of a goat lying around the temple is the left-over of a meal by the leopard.   It stares at you through the half eaten body of a baby.   There is a reminder every time the Forest guard appears with his battle scarred  head .  The injury is  visible only when he turns his head to the right, so that the Director is able to use to good effect in the movie.   Bringing this conflict right into the drawing room of a city couple might sound dramatic, but is actually terrifying.   The leopards from Sanjay Gandhi National Park prowling the ground of IIT Mumbai, the sensational case of a boy from an upmarket residential colony being lifted by a leopard -all these news items crowd the mind as one listens to Zaidi talking about the man eating leopard.   Here is a trailor of the movie. http://www.indianwildlifeclub.com/wildbytes/index.aspx?vid=WI7Bv-jnOYI
