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.'

Life is never fair, and never will be, Savi Sidhu's story confirms it to be

Lights, Camera, Forgotten! Now before you start thinking that we have forgotten the most catchy and trendy phrase in the entire show business, we can affirm that the same isn't the case. We know it, and strongly believe in it, because action commences as the clap happens, but is this clap always the case, for all. We bring this thing into question as recently we were introduced to Savi Sidhu who worked with Anurag Kashyap in notable films like Paanch, Black Friday and Gulaal to name a few. The actor then turned obscure because the personal and health issues took a toll on him, and unlike other struggling actors, he was filled with work, but health denied him the opportunity to work. After subsequent deaths in family of close and dear ones the actor felt left out, and had it not been Film Companion Hindi, we would have never known the gem that the performer has been. While all the glitz and glamour, as well as shutterbugs run after the people in media, and those that ca...
