Back then, it was insanity. NASEERUDDIN SHAH looks back on the gritty elation of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro SATISH SHAH clad in a burqa being wheeled along on roller skates by Ravi Baswani and myself on the crisscrossed pavement of Napean Sea Road and remarking that all his fillings seemed to have turned loose. The entire unit asleep in their positions awaiting the arrival of Bhakti Barve at 3 am, returning to shoot in Alibagh after a stage performance in Bombay. Organising a coffin to come barreling down Malabar Hill, then moving back uphill from the direction it came. The costume person being dispatched to Goregaon from Marine Drive at three in the morning to collect the laundered white suits which were needed but hadn't been delivered. Discovering, after boarding a local train which wouldn't stop till the next station, that my camera had been filched on the platform. Spoofing the Mahabharata on practically empty stomachs, arguing about logic in the telephone scene â just a few of the myriad memories of the making of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro that shall never fail to turn me moist-eyed and nostalgic. In those days, the titles of films were not identified by abbreviations, we just called it "this fâ-ing film we're shooting now". It was the pre-monsoon summer, the locations were the streets of Bombay and, above all, these were the pre 'air-conditioned trailers for actors' days. Unlike in these slick times, no wall-to-wall video coverage of the shoot occurred either; barely a photograph exists. I had become a bit of a villain even before the cameras rolled, having taken the unit further into the heat by causing a two-week delay in starting the film because my (then would-be) wife and I had decided that getting married on April 1 would be amusing. So, having bullied Kundan Shah into agreeing to the postponement, I arrived on April 15, straight from honeymooning in Goa to the most nightmarish shoot of my life. Nothing compares with it still! When someone who has just caught the film on late-night cable delightedly asks, "shooting must have been such fun, no?" the simple answer should be an abrupt, unequivocal "No!" but I think all of us, without exception, smugly concur that it was (and in hindsight it sometimes even seems like it was), though the word 'fun' applied to a budget roughly equivalent to the cost of a day's shoot on a Shahrukh Khan extravaganza is stretching the facts. The cast had some wonderfully talented and highly respected but hardly marketable, and in some cases unrecognisable, actors. The shooting took place in some of the roughest locations imaginable and, often watched by hordes of jeering onlookers, these wonderful troupers had to try and be funny, all the while attempting to keep the sweat from pouring into their eyes. There were scenes demanding stuff which could rightly only be performed in cartoon animation â being asked to stand still on roller blades was the least of the excesses. The 12-hour shifts always got extended, sometimes by as much as 24 hours! We were all being paid peanuts, bringing our food from home and cribbing like hell, but to a man standing by the director and the film. The script of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro seemed to have been revealed to Kundan Shah in an inspired moment of transcendental, if not downright hallucinogenic, lunacy. I had never read or seen anything like it at the time, and while I was not absolutely sure that it was even coherent, I itched to have a crack at it. The cloak of 'serious' actor weighed too heavy on my shoulders and I just had to fling the accursed thing off. Little did I realise how utterly serious and strenuous this job would turn out to be and how many flaming, friendship-endangering rows would erupt while making this "little funny film." The legend of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro has grown in slow ways. We were all convinced this film would be significant, though none had any inkling of how abidingly popular it would become. In fact few even dared hope it would get a release. We knew the odds were stacked - not in our favour; we knew we hadn't a hope and yet we felt compelled to do it. We were souls trapped in hell. Perhaps that is why the compliments we now receive for it feel like heaven. THE FILM was not an immediate success, but over time it has come to have a sort of cult reputation. I think it has struck a chord with audiences because of the unassuming way in which it speaks of corruption and the struggle of the underdog. None of these themes were novel, but Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro's off-centre presentation caught people's fancy. Kundan himself - if he were to walk past you - would strike you as the kind of person you wouldn't notice at all. You'd probably take him for an accountant, which he nearly became until the film bug really got to him. I knew him at the Film Institute for almost a year before I was sure I could distinguish him from two of his classmates. All three had beards, wore similar spectacles and seemed to carry the weight of the cosmos on their shoulders. I dreaded seeing the kind of films they would go on to make. Therefore Kundan's off-kilter view of the world (first seen in his diploma film Bonga) was a total revelation. I fell in love with the title before I even saw the film, and if you are at all familiar with institute diploma films, you will understand why. Apart from the punishment of having to see these things, you first have to decipher the titles which invariably go something like Metamorphosis cum Genesis or Tribheeshan ki Mrigtrishna, or And unto the endless void. In this world, the title Bonga sounded like lovely nonsense, and the film itself fulfilled its promise of being a completely nonsensical piece of work, and perfectly in key. What distinguished it from the work of most film students was its sense of humour â and the fact that in no way did it strive to be a masterpiece. It made me laugh and it made me think. I'm not quite sure why, but it reminded me of The Owl and the Pussycat, though I've never told Kundan that. I also remember being intensely curious about what it would be like if this man were to make a serious film. It has taken me nearly 20 years to realise that Jaane Bhi, his first film, is a truly serious work, though at the time it was being shot I did not even find it funny. What is not funny, however, is the question of why Kundan can't follow it up. Talk has been rife for too long about a sequel. Only the man himself can answer why it hasn't happened. And he's not telling, but I think what he's not telling is that to be able to generate that extreme and that intense an energy from that many participants takes some doing: it's tough to summon that adrenaline on demand. It's there when it's there and it drives you. Then, Kundan had no alternative but to make this film and to make it as well as he could â and he did. But it seems he has other alternatives now. Maybe his (and I shrink from using this weighty term) world view has changed with his subsequent monetary success, which, though well-deserved, has perhaps severed his connections with his muse: the underbelly of life. He does seem removed from the position of nervy onlooker and underdog and placed in one of repute and responsibility. Am I suggesting that it is exclusively someone deeply aware of his fraying trousers and wornout shoes who will possess a vision of the kind that made Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro? Not at all. I am only wishing Kundan could at least get the pieces of the jigsaw out again and start identifying them. If they start falling into place then, as earlier, he'd better be sure he has his "shit sorted out" or a holy mess will result. Earlier we survived because he could marshal all of us, who, from time to time, hated his guts but were willing to die for the film. This kind of coming together of energies occurs very rarely and only accidentally. For those touched by it, the memory is goose-pimply, it causes sweat to break out on the brow, the blood to rush to the temples and the knuckles to go white. So actually, instead of vainly hoping for a sequel, let's just give thanks that this one actually happened.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Aug 2008 | 12:57 pm "Is India ready for a Brokeback Mountain?" - Karan JoharThe trailers are out for Karan Johar's new production Dostana (directed by Tarun Mansukhani, starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and releasing in November 2008). The teaser suggests that most of the romance and frolic in the sunshine of Florida takes place between the two male leads, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Is Dostana a gay romance? No, John and Abhishek play two straight guys who pretend to be gay. As the trailers say, itâs a tiny lie that they tell because of certain circumstances. Is it an updated version of the 1980s buddy film with the same name? It has absolutely nothing in common with that film (which my father made) except the name. Oh, and both films have two actors with a sexy girl between them. So you would be surprised to hear that the original Dostana that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Shatrughan Sinha is also occasionally read as a film with gay subtext. I wonder what my father would think of that. But you know in India we find it slightly embarrassing to watch male bonding. (Laughs) You started a trend of self-referencing in Bollywood with Kal Ho Na Ho. And in these trailers you seem to be making fun of your older films. Oh yes, Tarun and his team had a lot of fun making these trailers. In Bollywood we have a new romcom coming out every month. These trailers have you thinking, "Oh God, another film that says it's an eternal love story" and then you plummet straight into this mad plot. In Kal Ho Na Ho, you had a gay subplot. In this film the fake gay relationship is the main thread of the story. Do you think you will ever make a film that is actually about a gay couple? I learnt something from making Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. I learnt that it's possible to make a Rs 70 crore film about infidelity with stars as big as Shah Rukh Khan. And people accepted it. So I will push the boundaries with each of my films. People judged me far too quickly. They decided that I would make only mushy films but I will break new ground every year. We have to leave behind the tone of the films we made in the 80s and the 90s. But is India ready for a big, serious film like Brokeback Mountain yet? I would say it won't go down too well yet. But we will open the doors for other filmmakers in the future. Communities who have made major contributions to cinema have been oddly subject to terrible stereotyping on screen. Like Muslims and Anglo-Indians in Bollywood. Do you think the industry is homophobic? I don't think people confident in their own skills would be homophobic. If you are educated and have been brought up in an urban milieu it's quite ridiculous if you are homophobic. It either means you are insecure or you have never read a book. Or that you are in denial of your own orientation. Homophobia speaks volumes about who you are. That's as far as the industry is concerned. As filmmakers I think we have a great responsibility to be sensitive to the feelings of all communities. We Asians are an emotionally volatile and dramatic lot. Tarun and his team have made a film that is fun but does not poke fun. It is not callous and does not hurt the dignity of gay people in any way. It may shock a small part of the population, but I think most people would enjoy it. What do you feel about being a gay icon? It's very flattering to be an icon to any community. I have been asked many times about my own orientation but I will never discuss my personal life. People can look at me or look down at me, I don't care. What I do and where I do it and who I do it with is nobody's business but mine.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Aug 2008 | 12:56 pm All you wanted to know about C KkompanyBalaji Motion Pictures' latest offering C Kkompany promises to be a complete laugh-riot.

Source: Google News India - Entertainment | 26 Aug 2008 | 10:59 am "I am enjoying all the attention due to Phoonk" - Wilson LouisWhile distributors of Phoonk are laughing all the way to the bank, courtesy it's surprise success at the box office, one man who is secretly smiling is Wilson Louis. For the uninitiated, Wilson is a filmmaker who made Ho Sakta Hai which is touted to be the first film on black magic ever when it comes to mainstream Bollywood flick on this part of the century. Even though Ho Sakta Hai had met with quite some critical acclaim prior to it's theatrical release (it visited numerous international film festivals and even won a few awards for it's technical finesse), it couldn't create much ripples at the Indian box office due to poor marketing, bad promotion and random theater placement. While Wilson went on to get his other projects on floors, most of them being horror thrillers (a genre that he specializes in), he is back in news currently due to Ram Gopal Varma's 'Phoonk' which revisits the black magic theme. In his own words, Wilson is quite thrilled with the kind of response that 'Phoonk' is fetching all over. "I can't be happier with the kind of attention I am getting now, courtesy Phoonk. To be honest, I don't mind it at all because once again Ho Sakta Hai is back in news", says Wilson Louis whose film on black magic had released in India more than two years back, "I have been inundated with phone calls ever since the promos of Phoonk stated coming on air. As the release date approached, there was quite a renewed interest in Ho Sakta Hai which was visible. Though some people were challenging whether the subject of both the films was visible, I don't think that can be the case. In any case, the genre of black magic hasn't been explored much in Bollywood and some eyebrows are bound to be raised." Truly believing in Ram Gopal Varma to be the reason behind his entry in the world of making movies, Wilson admits that if not for the maverick filmmaker, he may not have decided to take the plunge. "Arrey yaar, Ramu is the man who has made filmmakers out of people like me. I saw Satya and knew that I had to make my own film one day. The man has walked against all odds and made movies at his own will. He has been a non-conformist throughout his professional career and it is an inspiration good enough for a filmmaker like me. I am happy to see his Phoonk do well at the box office. At least it has managed to bring to fore the subject of black magic for a good chunk of audience to see", confesses Wilson. Doesn't he feel that he missed the bus when it came to his filmmaking an impact? Is there any regret whatsoever that he had made a film on black magic years back and still couldn't reach out to the audience in the same way as Phoonk? Because his film was a first in this genre, perhaps he may have been showered with all the adulation over all these years if only his Ho Sakta Hai would have turned into a success? "See, to be honest, these are all ifs and buts; you can't really control destiny", says Wilson in a philosophical tone, "One never makes a film thinking that it won't work at theaters. Everyone wants his or her film to reach out to the masses. Now of course I was disappointed that Ho Sakta Hai never got a proper release in spite of finding worldwide acclaim en route to its arrival in India." He goes on add, "It was made at a time when technology was still in its nascent stage in India as far as the special effects in Bollywood was concerned. With the kind of limited budget that I had in hands and no stars to boast of, the only strength that Ho Sakta Hai could boast of was a tout narrative, some hair raising moments, great creativity by my crew and of course the subject by itself which was hitherto unexplored till that time." Getting nostalgic about his first baby which is now expected to find a momentum for itself on the DVD circuits, Wilson says hopefully, "I am sure that it will catch on well on home video front because of so many avenues opening up. A success of a film these days is not just restricted to it's theatrical outcome. Acceptance of Phoonk means that while Bollywood has been under this misconception that only feel-good or light hearted entertainers work at the box office, audience is still willing to be entertained through some scary moments. I am glad that Ram Gopal Varma has done all that for me which my producers couldn't do for Ho Sakta Hai." Some of the milestones for Ho Sakta Hai over the years have been: - The film was screened at Cannes 2005 - Won the best sfx sequence for Seagate technical awards and got nominated in three categories - Got nominated as the best sfx film in the top three films of the year at the FICCI awards - Screenplay officially selected for 'MARGARET HERRICK OSCAR LIBRARY'Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Aug 2008 | 10:46 am Eesha almost ate near a kachre ka dabba! - SantaBanta.com
