Ghoomer: This Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan Starrer is a Story of Two Hands, Two Skills and Two Redemptions

This is a rousing drama about an underdog. Nevertheless, the treatment here breaks many rules of the sports movie template. The training montages feel fresh. The grandmother character (played very charmingly by Shabana Azmi) is supportive, attentive and funny. The gender bender is there. The love angle gets its moment of both courtship and conflict. A subtle commentary about “is blood always…

Chup Review

November 27, 2022

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

Many films have been made on the film industry. Films that show the intricacies of the process through the eyes of an artist integrated within it. But few have shed light on the tumultuous relationship between a filmmaker and a film critic. The two professions are constantly at loggerheads. It’s a never-ending battle due to the refusal of each to understand the job of the other. Chup uses a fictional tale of a serial killer that targets film critics to comment on the filmmaker-critic relation. This psychological thriller relies less on suspense and more on the interesting characters and passionate story that attempts to burn bridges between the opposing professions.

The strongest aspect of Chup is the intrigue. The buildup of how these four characters and two parallel stories will converge. And the way in which the contrasting elements of the multiple narratives lead to an exhilarating climax. This is further enhanced by its passion for the art of cinema. Writer-Director R. Balki made this film out of a pure love for the process of filmmaking. It is an ode to classic cinema with many references to the art behind old school romance. It specifically pays homage to Guru Dutt and his classic film, Kaagaz Ke Phool, and focuses on the relevance of that film in the filmmaker-critic debate.

Though the film is a multi-starrer, Dulquer Salmaan is the star of the show. Elaborating on the details of his performance would reveal too much of the mystery, but his ability to transfer between the different shades of his character is brilliant. While the remaining actors do well in their respective roles, much of the film’s impact rests on his shoulders.

Where Chup falters, is in its investigative suspense. While the police chase of this brutal criminal is smart, the characters pursuing the case have barely any background or emotional depth. Despite having considerable screen space, Sunny Deol has little to do in the film. Though he and Pooja Bhatt do well in the roles written, they have little impact due to the lack of characterization. Their characters are nothing more than props in the investigation.

Despite these minimal flaws, Chup stands out due to the themes it explores, albeit in a jumbled state.

It is natural for a filmmaker to feel disheartened on reading a scathing review. However, it is also important all types of reviews to exist. Otherwise, there will never be a standard for good cinema, filmmakers will be stuck in the land of mediocrity and no one will aspire for any better. 

As a filmmaker and a film critic, someone who has seen both the blood and sweat that goes into the simplest details in a scene and someone who has watched countless films forming strong opinions on them, this divide is something I have witnessed myself. This is a battle I am constantly fighting within. That is why Chup resonates so deeply with me. It is a confused film, one which mirrors my constant confusion between the two worlds. Chup is the product of an artist and a critic, one that cannot differentiate between the two. That’s why the messaging of Chup is so muddled. Because on one hand it puts out valid points in the defense of film criticism and on the other hand romanticizes the life of an artist engulfed by the world of cinema and pained by the words of critics. 

Through its confused state, it is not clear whether Chup has a defined message. The struggle between art and criticism will continue to remain. But somewhere in the midst of all the craziness, there is a sense of peace. A calm that sets in only on the union of the critic and the artist. Chup is at its best when the two are together, making their monotonous moments come to life with their common passion for cinema. And that may be the message that the filmmakers strive to convey. That just like Chup reaches its highest peak through the bonding of the critic and the artist, cinema will reach greater heights through a combined effort. Both the critic and the artist are necessary to make great cinema, and neither works without the other.

Big B played all instruments for Chup — Bloom Times

Amitabh Bachchan, who turned music composer for the first time in his career for R Balki’s film Chup: Revenge of the Artist, has opened up about his composition. The actor revealed that he alone has played all the instruments in the composition, and has also recorded it personally, alone. He also shared that the song speaks of unrequited love as he penned a note about it.

The veteran actor shared the note on his Facebook account and his Tumblr blog. He also shared a recording of his composition being played at the end of Chup, with the credits reading, “110 years of Indian cinema. 80 years of Amitabh Bachchan. Thank You Amit Ji…The title music at the end has been specially composed by Amitabh Bachchan.”

Sharing the note, the veteran actor wrote, “A composition of ‘moi’ after an inspiring moment from film .. Each instrument played by ‘moi’ .. and recorded personally .. alone.”

Talking about the melody, Amitabh Bachchan said the song speaks of the pain of unrequited love and separation. He started, “To me it was the melody, that spoke…spoke of love…of unrequited love…love that is not openly reciprocated or understood…by beloved…beloved be not aware of admirer’s deep, pure affection, or consciously reject it…what then the melody — if it can be called that .. melodies that are singular strains of expression…but an expression of what…happiness or disillusionment it played for the maker.”

R Balki had previously shared the story of how Amitabh Bachchan turned music composer with his film Chup. The filmmaker told ETimes, “After seeing (Chup), he called me over and he played me a tune on his piano and said that’s what the movie and the characters made him feel. I asked him if I could use the tune and he immediately gifted it to the movie.”

I saw chup and goddamn

I was 10 when i first saw Paa, and little did i know i was going to think a thought so bizarrely dark years later:

my first and foremost regret in chup is that they used "yeh hai bambai meri jaan" but not "jane kaha mera jigar gaya ji" for the third umpire scene

(it would have been so comic and perfectly portrayed how lightly he took his dark thoughts)

plus, THE scene among the flowers, i watched it with my dad and i wanted so bad to break my remote, you can't do that to the simps dq hay sanskar

I also need a dulquer salmaan to massage my forehead and lull me to sleep and— (minus the part where he stalks me and yearns to make my skull explode into a thousand pieces)

AND VO DUSRA CHAI AUR KEEMA PAV USKE BAAP KA THA USKE DOOSRE PERSONALITY KA NAHI

amit trivedi hitting us with the chup background score AND the qala album in the span of a month............... aesthetics galore

Lust Stories 2: All Films Ranked

July 9, 2023

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

1. The Mirror

The film begins with a wide shot of a city. Towering apartments, surrounded by sprawling slums. Progress, countered by underdevelopment. This starting frame is just one example of the brilliant visual imagery that director Konkona Sen Sharma uses to set the stage for the complex relationship that develops between a woman and her maid. The Mirror is about a woman who walks in on her maid having sex in her bedroom. Lust and desire take over as she finds herself turned on by this spectacle prompting her to establish a pattern of secretly watching her maid’s sexual endeavors. This film is about much more than just lust. It is about two women who discover a new side to their sexuality that transcends class and caste. It is as much about the difference between them as it is about the common ground they find through this surreptitious activity. The themes are relevant. The writing, direction, and cinematography, are immaculate. And combined with the amazing performances by Amruta Subhash and Tillotama Shome, this short film becomes the best part of the anthology.

2. Tilchatta

A woman in an abusive marriage aspires for a better future for her son as she struggles to escape her terrible fate. Directed by Amit Sharma of Badhaai Ho fame, this film is a tragic tale of manipulation, violence, and revenge, with lust at the center of it all. The best aspect of this film is the ominous atmosphere. The spacious haveli, its unspoken secrets, the many characters, and their dubious intentions. But in the process of building atmosphere, at times the plot suffers. The initial idea and the buildup are executed well, but the relevance of the conclusion is unclear. It is a depressing end to an already depressing story and serves little purpose beyond shock. However, despite the twisted ending, Tilchatta is impactful and serves as a great closure to the anthology.

3. Sex with the Ex

It is no surprise that this segment is directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Known for films like Kahaani, Badla, and Ahalya, Ghosh’s filmography is mainly comprised of films of a similar suspenseful genre. However, this horror thriller disguised as a lust story is the biggest misfit in this anthology. The story follows a man who encounters his ex after being stranded in a village due to a car accident. While lust is clearly a pertinent part of the film leading to a shocking climax, it is unfortunately hidden by other aspects of the film. The story is too absorbed in its mystery and suspense that lust barely makes an impact. It also does not help that the artificial background visuals, while purposeful, are extremely jarring. But despite the flaws and predictability, the plot development is intriguing. While not a perfect film, it kept my interest alive and is definitely worth a one time watch.

4. Made for Each Other

The weakest film of the lot is R Balki’s Made for Each Other which ironically starts the 2 hour long journey. What should have been an explosive beginning is instead a futile, ill-executed drama about a to-be married couple and their forays with ‘sex’ prior to their wedding. The concept itself, with its emphasis on the importance of sex in marriage, is interesting. However, there is no development of the plot, no arc to the characters, and an overall absence of conflict in the story. It remains bland and stagnant throughout. On top of that, the idea of an extremely progressive “Dadi” and her comical conversations with her granddaughter on sex, seems contrived and unrealistic. The advice that this short brings forth is useful, but unfortunately not impactful due to the lack of depth and conflict. It’s thirty minutes of time passing, nothing happening. And at the end of it all, I found myself asking, what was the point?

As with any anthology film, Lust Stories 2 has its ups and downs. Some parts are so well-made I desire to revisit them and others so insignificant they are best forgotten. But it maintains a balance, and ultimately is a worthwhile watch.
