badhaai do & filmfare and how it affects the queer movement

badhaai do won 6 filmfare awards!! and apart from that, 14 nominations. this is such a welcome surprise to me considering how much the filmfare panders to popular films and celebrities. while i'm convinced that best actor in a supporting role was robbed from gulshan devaiah (who played guru) as well as best dialogues + best director, let's not dwell on that negativity. the war to get same-sex marriage is still on. and i'd like to thank the team for dedicating their awards to the queer community. for those who have been complaining yet again that this was a profitable venture for the people involved, think again about how much it tanked in the box office. and yes, bhumi pednekar has addressed the on-going legal battle for same sex marriage here. i would ask for jaded queer individuals like me to step back and think that there are different ways of coming together to support a social cause. making an entire film is one of them. green lighting such a film is one of them. acting in such a film is one of them. considering what the extremely homophobic government is capable of, we must take all such things into account. and when queer icons like onir also come out in support of badhaai do (btw his red carpet look on filmfare >>>), we should take a page from their book to see where they are coming from. also i went and checked out the team behind badhaai do (not just the actors). apparently the director (harshavardhan kulkarni) and the editor (kirti nakhwa) are already in hot soup with the government since they returned a NATIONAL AWARD a few years back. their reason? the growing intolerance of the government. kinda iconic. and a reminder that this is the same government that routinely sends journalists, activists, historians to jail while dabbling in the same fields and falsifying facts and history. (lmao calling our trauma an "urban elite" problem is so ironic considering they are the urban elites). badhaai do getting the second highest number of filmfare awards is one of the many victories that we have secured. please remind yourself to not alienate any sort of support whatsoever just because it doesn't fit the stereotypical narrative of activism. and after all, activism in art is the most powerful of its kind, is it not?

Bhumi Pednekar Biography: From Casting Director to Award-Winning Actress

Bhumi Pednekar is a name synonymous with strong female characters and powerful performances in Hindi cinema. But her journey to the spotlight is unique, taking her from behind the scenes as a casting director to captivating audiences on screen. Let's delve into the life and career of this talented actress.

Early Life and Family Background

Born on July 18, 1989, in Mumbai, Bhumi comes from a blend of Konkani and Haryanvi heritage. Her father, Satish Pednekar, was a former politician who served as a Maharashtra MLA and Home and Labour Minister [Wikipedia: Bhumi Pednekar]. Her mother, Sumitra Pednekar, became a vocal anti-tobacco activist after losing her husband to oral cancer, highlighting the importance of social causes in the Pednekar household. Bhumi also has a younger sister, Samiksha, who is a lawyer and a model.

Education and Early Steps in Entertainment

Bhumi's artistic side emerged early on, and at the age of 15, she pursued acting studies at the prestigious Whistling Woods International Institute. However, her attendance wasn't ideal, leading to her expulsion. But this setback didn't deter her. Bhumi landed a job as an assistant casting director at Yash Raj Films, a leading production house in Bollywood. Here, she honed her understanding of the industry for six years, working on films like "Chak De! India" and "Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year".

From Casting Couch to Center Stage: A Remarkable Debut

While working at Yash Raj Films, Bhumi impressed director Sharat Katariya with her dedication and talent. This led to a life-changing opportunity in 2015. Katariya offered her the lead role in his film "Dum Laga Ke Haisha," a romantic comedy with a unique twist. Bhumi was required to gain weight for the role of Sandhya, an overweight bride in a small town. Her commitment to the character was evident, and the film became a sleeper hit, earning her critical acclaim and several awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut [Wikipedia: Bhumi Pednekar]. This marked a remarkable transition for Bhumi, from casting couch to center stage.

Career Milestones and Major Achievements

Bhumi has carefully chosen her roles, often portraying strong-willed women who challenge societal norms. She has worked with acclaimed directors and actors, delivering powerful performances in films like "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" (2017), "Sonchiriya" (2019), "Saand Ki Aankh" (2019), and "Badhaai Do" (2022). Her dedication to portraying diverse characters and social issues has earned her three Filmfare Awards, solidifying her position as a leading actress in Bollywood.

Personal Life and Beyond the Screen

Bhumi is known to be private about her personal life, preferring to let her work speak for itself. However, she is vocal about environmental and social causes, following in her mother's footsteps. She is a strong advocate for animal rights and body positivity, using her platform to spread awareness about these important issues.

Notable Facts and Looking Ahead

A lesser-known fact about Bhumi is that she is a trained dancer and can even speak fluent Marathi. Looking ahead, Bhumi Pednekar continues to push boundaries and experiment with her craft. With her talent, dedication, and social conscience, she is sure to leave a lasting mark on Indian cinema.

all these bollywood celebs who pretended to be so woke and such big allies to queer people when they had queer films to promote have disappeared when it comes time to actually use their platform

yes im looking at you ayushman khurana, bhumi pednekar, jitendra kumar, rajkumar rao, madhuri dixit. tum toh ally the na community ke? where is your 'love is love' now? when we stand before the SC to ask for marriage rights, where are you now?!

this is exactly why queer people never wanted your disgusting representation in the first place. because we know you wouldn't give a shit about queer people and community irl. y'all just wanted to be 'progressive', use our stories for your profits and then use your privilege to get away with it.

sincerely, fuck off and take your fake representation with you

Bheed: The Film Review

The agony and human tragedy of Corona

Starcast of Bheed Film Plot: This film is based on the Corona epidemic, in which the government ordered everyone to stay put and told them to stay put. However, the workers in particular were unable to comply, so they started walking to their destination. They are all stopped at a police checkpoint in the centre and are not permitted to continue crossing. Can they pass through the checkpoint? Can they all make it to their houses? You must see the film in order to understand this. Tone and Theme: In addition to satirizing castes and demonstrating social and caste discrimination, this film has a social drama tone and focuses on humanity and tragedy theme. It also conveys a social message about how we can help transform society. Characters and Acting: Rajkummar Rao excelled in the role of Suryakumar Singh, portraying the role of a police inspector with the highest integrity. His acting is excellent; he gives every role he plays his all, and the entire movie depends on him. One could also describe Bhumi Pednekar's performance as Renu Sharma as mediocre. Her role isn't very long, but she did a good job in whatever role she was given. Additionally, Pankaj Kapur does a good job as Balram Trivedi. He has portrayed an irate individual who will stop at nothing to get home. Ashutosh Rana, Dia Mirza, Kritika Kamra, Aditya Srivastava, Veerendra Saxena, and Omkar Das Manikpuri are among the supporting cast members who contributed to the film's plot advancement. Direction: Anubhav Sinha is the director of this movie. He directed a number of delicate films before this one, including Mulk(2018), Article 15(2019), Thappad(2020) and Anek(2022). some of these movies were successful, while others received nominations for awards and others won prizes. He took a completely different approach to directing this movie and has made an excellent and straightforward effort to tell a different kind of story. The movie moves quickly as well. The movie keeps the audience interested from start to finish. Screenplay and dialogue: The dialogue by Sonali Jain, Saumya Tiwari, and Anubhav Sinha is strong and well-written, and it follows the plot of the movie. The screenplay is also well-written. Cinematography: The aerial views and Soumik Mukherjee's Cinematography are splendid. It's difficult to get a large crowd on camera, but they did a good job. Production Design: Nikhil Kovale's is good; it fits the film's plot. Even the smallest sounds from the Indians can be heard thanks to Anita Kushwaha's powerful sound design. audio sound is very clear. Visahka Vijay kullarwar's costume design is magnificent, but there wasn't much room for improvement. Riaz-Habib's action is balanced. Mangesh Dhakde's background score is incredibly powerful and strong. Anurag Saikia's music is passable. Lyrics: Dr. Sagar's and Shakeel Azmi's are alright Climax: The movie's climax expertly made. Viewpoint: You can watch it once if you enjoy unusual and independent movies. 69th Filmfare Awards: This movie received nominations for Best Story, Best Actor Critics and Best Film Critics. As well as the best sound design. it failled to win any awards. Flaws: Dia Mirza's role could have eliminated because it wasn't necessary. There are a lot of scenes involving Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar's intimacy and physical connection. While you are producing a film about a unique and social issue, there was no reason to include such scenes. Because of this one scene, parents not allowed to watch the film with their children; if the children are young, they should not. The story's inclusion of the caste concept has allowed for the appropriate message to be conveyed through dialogue and sarcasm. There has been discrimination against Muslims, which is unacceptable. It has claimed that Corona has no religion because of its association with Muslims.

Some Of The Best Movies By Yash Raj Films

Yash Raj Films (YRF) has been entertaining audiences for the last five decades, delivering iconic movies across various genres such as romance, action, and drama. With over 70 films produced since its inception, YRF has cemented its position as a powerhouse of Indian cinema. Here are some of the best movies by Yash Raj Films:

1. Daag (1973)- Starring Bollywood's first superstar, Rajesh Khanna, alongside Sharmila Tagore and Rakhi, Daag was a poignant romantic drama with elements of suspense and thrills. The storyline, inspired by Thomas Hardy's novel The Mayor of Casterbridge, captivated audiences with its unique narrative and Rajesh Khanna's stellar performance.

2. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) (1995)-Probably the most iconic love story in Indian cinema, DDLJ is much more than a movie—it’s a cultural phenomenon. The story of Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) and Simran (Kajol), and how Raj transforms from a carefree boy to a devoted lover while winning over Simran’s family, remains timeless. Every scene of the movie is memorable, making it the best love story of Indian cinema.

3. Veer-Zaara (2004) -Directed by Yash Chopra, Veer-Zaara is another masterpiece of romance, featuring Shah Rukh Khan as Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh, who falls in love with Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta), a Pakistani woman. The film beautifully portrays themes of love, sacrifice, and the unity of Indian and Pakistani cultures, making it one of YRF’s finest works.

4. The Dhoom Series -This action-packed franchise revolutionized Bollywood with its high-speed bikes, adrenaline-pumping stunts, and the classic cat-and-mouse chase between police and thieves. With Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as the constant law enforcers, each installment introduced a new charismatic villain. The series remains India’s most popular action franchise and is set to return with its fourth part.

5. Mohabbatein (2000)- This musical drama brought together two legends, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, in a clash of generations. The film explores themes of love, tradition, and rebellion through music and featured the launch of six debutant actors. It is now considered a cult classic.

6. Chak De! India (2007)  -Starring Shah Rukh Khan in one of his finest performances, Chak De! India is a sports drama about the Indian women's hockey team. The film is regarded as Bollywood's best sports drama, combining patriotism, empowerment, and team spirit in a gripping narrative
