Filmistaan - Jai Cinema Ki




The story that seems so simple has such a profound impact and message that leaves you wanting more. Sunny (Sharib Hashmi) is a movie buff and in an attempt to shoot a documentary heads over to the line of control. The abduction followed by the discussions between him and Aftaab (Inaamulhaq) leaves you spellbound. This is the first time Nitin Kakkar put on the Director's Hat and sat on the seat, and it is indisputable that this master created something that's worth the watch every time.

Sharib and Inaamulhaq along with Kumud Mishra came together for this film, and they were again for the critically acclaimed Nakkash that released a week ago. Their association for Filmistaan left the cinema buffs wanting more. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the trio has delivered again and while it was a different director for the movie last week the trio is always providing feathers to some commendable characters on the screen.

Filmistaan talks about the most tormented relationship between two neighboring nations keeping the love for films in the center stage. The three actors in the movie are definitely class apart in their portrayal of the characters as well as the mental and physical state due to the ongoing troubles.

Nitin proved with his debut movie that he can deliver masterpieces and the writer turned actors showcased that they can't just write with the pen and paper but also deliver the words in front of the camera. While we do talk about these actors, there are few others that deserve equal mention. Gopal Dutt was brilliant in his portrayal of Jawwad, and it was his portrayal of a person with conflict as well as commitment towards the purpose that left people wanting more from him.

One of his memorable dialogues from the movie that everyone may remember is when Sunny asks Jawaad on why he went this way. His response was,'Nayi Kameej to mil gai, par uski keemat main aaj bhi chuka raha hoon.'

Only a person with a golden arm like Sharib can write such heart touching and thought-provoking dialogues. The movie was a perfect combination of what happens when people work with heart, passion and the will to deliver something exemplary to the audience.

If you are a movie buff like us, these words from the movie will always resonate with you: 'Drama Shrama Kar Lo Ji, Ye to Filmistaan hai Ji.'

Why every subject based movie like 'Ram Ki Janmabhoomi' is opposed in India?

Image
'Ram Janmbhoomi' is a movie slated for release on the 29th of March, and even before the movie could see rhe light of the day, controversies surrounding the movie have started to show up. Recently a fatwa against the movie was issued, and the fact that people decided to issue a fatwa without knowing the facts confirms two things, one that people are ready to believe into controversy, and second that they don't get to the facts, and believe in hyping things without value. I recently had the opportunity to speak to a reliable source who has been associated with it in various ways, namely actor in a supporting and various backstage roles, noted that the movie is based on a discussion and the representation of the characters doesn't hurt the sentiments of anyone, instead it initiates a conversation, which is the essence of a country where people can discuss and talk about issues. After the discussion, I was left to ponder over the fact that we have been so loosene
