#Dilwale 2021

[jgroffdaily]

‘A Nice Indian Boy’ will be released theatrically early next year, and then will be available on streaming (no further details available yet)

Jonathan Groff singing Bollywood tunes is the centerpiece of “A Nice Indian Boy,” a groundbreaking gay rom-com that’s heating up the BFI London Film Festival.

Director Roshan Sethi and stars Groff (“Mindhunter,” “Glee,” “Doctor Who”) and Karan Soni (the “Deadpool” franchise) are challenging Hollywood norms with their cross-cultural love story, which debuted at SXSW. It aims to bring a fresh perspective to both LGBTQ+ and South Asian representation on screen.

The genesis of the project traces back to 2019, when Levantine Films optioned Madhuri Shekar’s play of the same name and Eric Randall adapted it as a screenplay. Sethi came aboard in 2021 after the producers saw his previous film “7 Days.” He then approached his real-life partner Soni to co-star. Groff signed on after watching “7 Days.”

“I do think what’s interesting about the current era of ‘diversity films’ is that they tend to be very homogeneous. They’re all Asian or they’re all Indian, or they’re all black or they’re all white, in the exact opposite case, and the reality of our world is that we’re all mixed up with each other in tangled, messy ways. And this movie very much reflects that, because you have a meeting of cultures,” Sethi says.

For Groff, who plays a white character adopted by Indian parents, the role required immersing himself in a culture he was largely unfamiliar with. “I had never seen a Bollywood movie. I didn’t know anything about this culture in general,” Groff says. His preparation included watching the Bollywood classic “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” (DDLJ) to nail a pivotal musical moment in the film.

This scene, featuring Groff’s character singing the evergreen “Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam” from “DDLJ,” is a highlight of the film. “I didn’t know that he was going to do, like, a falsetto, la, la, la, la, la – that trilling thing,” Sethi says. “Everyone was turned on,” Soni adds.

Despite the cultural specificity, Groff found the family dynamics surprisingly relatable. “I, immediately from the first take of the first scene, couldn’t believe how familiar it all felt,” he says. “Even though there was a stark difference in culture, it was so heartwarming to see that families are families, no matter what culture you’re in.”

The production faced significant challenges, primarily due to a compressed timeline. Sethi reveals they had just four weeks of pre-production and a 21-day shoot with six-day weeks. “We were just like this tiny indie movie that was crammed in between these other much larger, broader circumstances,” he says, referring to Soni’s commitment to “Deadpool” and the then-looming SAG-AFTRA strike.

Financing the film also proved difficult. “We barely got this movie made. We barely found the money. We struggled for years,” Sethi says. He notes that Groff’s involvement was crucial in securing funding. “None of the Indian actors are deemed meaningful enough to obtain financing,” Sethi explains, calling Hollywood “one of the most racist industries in America.”

For Sethi, who still practices medicine, the film represents a personal milestone. “I was closeted six years ago, and now I got to make this movie, which is highly personal,” he says. “I could never have imagined when I was like, walking around the hospital as a straight doctor, watching [HBO’s] ‘Looking,’ that I was going to like be out, much less like be making this movie.”

“A Nice Indian Boy” is set for a theatrical release in the first quarter of next year, with streaming plans to follow. The filmmakers are optimistic about its commercial prospects, citing positive responses from diverse test audiences. “When we were testing the movie among audiences, the highest scoring audience was always white women,” Sethi notes.

The team hopes the film will resonate beyond niche audiences. “Part of the other issue with the so-called diverse film and representation movements is that they’ve made those movies feel like they are for niche audiences,” Sethi says. “The truth is diversity should be an opening up of storytelling where you’re finding more and more interesting and more new stories to tell people, but just vitalize art. They don’t splinter it, they don’t make it more niche. They vitalize it.”

As they prepare for the film’s wider release, the cast is moving on to new projects. Soni is set to star in the thriller “Fade to Black,” while Sethi is working on a new romantic comedy script where he’s “going back to straight people.” Groff, fresh off his Tony win for “Merrily We Roll Along” on Broadway, is returning to the Great White Way with “Just In Time,” a new musical about the life and times of singer Bobby Darin.

★ Trade experts explain why no Hindi or Pan-Indian film clashes with Salman Khan’s films at the box office: “He’s 100% an ORGANIC star; clashing with him can prove SUICIDAL”!

Nov 7, 2023

Salman Khan’s Diwali release Tiger 3 is nearly a week away and the excitement is tremendous. What’s interesting is that it’ll have a solo release of sorts, as no other Hindi or Pan-India South film is clashing on the same day. In fact, Salman Khan has not faced a clash since 2010. The last time that happened was when his 2009 action super-hit film Wanted was released on the same day as Rani Mukerji-starrer Dil Bole Hadippa.

Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dabangg 2 (2012), Jai Ho (2014), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), Sultan (2016), Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018), Bharat (2019), Dabangg 3 (2019) and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023) released with no competition. Antim (2021) faced a collision with Satyameva Jayate 2 (2021) but then it didn’t feature the superstar in the lead.

Other stars haven’t been that fortunate. Shah Rukh Khan’s Dilwale (2015) and Raees (2017) were released alongside Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Kaabil (2017) respectively. SRK is at his best position arguably right now and yet, his next film Dunki will have to share screens with Salaar on Christmas 2023. Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha clashed with Akshay Kumar’s Raksha Bandhan last year. Salman’s last few films have not done well and yet, no one is ready to come on the same Friday as him.

We asked trade experts about this rare phenomenon. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “He has a huge following and is a darling of the masses. The business he has generated over a period of time in mass pockets is phenomenal. Though he has had a rough patch, he's the pied piper of Bollywood.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan, in agreement, exulted, “Salman is a very big hero of the masses. He has always had such a huge fan following; Shah Rukh Khan ka aisa following ab bana hai. Aamir Khan never had such a mass pull. Salman’s craze is one of a kind. Hence, filmmakers are wary of clashing their films with him. Itna bada hero hai, kaun takkar lega iske saath?”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, remarked, “Salman is the only superstar who people want to see on screen. He has the maximum on-screen superstardom out of all the actors. It’s a very critical factor. He’s also not on our social media every time, going to malls, opening ribbons, dancing, etc.”

He continued, “Unfortunately his films have not worked as he hasn’t paid much attention to the storytelling, packaging, direction, etc. He has that power that if he gets these things right, then there’s no stopping him. That’s why many are wary of clashing with him as they know that at least in the opening weekend, their film will get butchered.”

Raj Bansal, the owner of Entertainment Paradise cinema hall in Jaipur, explained, “Salman Khan is an action hero. When no one was doing action, he was the only action excelling in this genre. Somewhere, his confidence shook and he also did non-action films like Tubelight (2017), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), etc. Only Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) worked in this regard. But even when his films were gadbad, they still made Rs. 100 crores plus. There was a time when the hit films of Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn did Rs. 100 crores. But Salman’s flop films do Rs. 100 crores even today! And his hit films have done more than Rs. 300 crores. It’s thanks to him that the industry realized the true potential of a Hindi film. Hence, clashing with him can prove suicidal.”

He also said, “He’s 100% an organic star. Even Sunny Deol is.”

Girish Johar added, “If he moulds himself to the sensibilities that cater to his fans and also provides intelligent content, then sky is the limit. I think Tiger 3 will do well. It ticks all the right boxes.”

Taran Adarsh also said along the same lines, “Tiger 3 being a brand and essaying a role that is much-loved, I am sure it’ll have a great run and a huge opener.”

"The Evolution of Desi Cinema: From Classic Bollywood to the Rise of Indie Filmmaking"

Introduction:

Desi cinema has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years. From the golden age of Bollywood with iconic stars like Raj Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan to the explosion of independent filmmaking and regional cinema, Indian films have evolved in ways that mirror the changing social, cultural, and political landscapes of the country. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the key phases in the evolution of desicinemas and explore how it has transformed into a more diverse and complex medium for storytelling.

The Golden Age of Bollywood (1950s–1970s):

The golden age of Bollywood marked a period of immense creativity and storytelling innovation. Directors like Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, and Bimal Roy created some of the most beloved classics in Indian cinema, with films like Pyaasa (1957), Shree 420 (1955), and Do Bigha Zamin (1953). These films often dealt with social issues like poverty, class disparity, and the challenges of post-independence India.

The 1960s and 1970s saw the rise of the "angry young man" genre, with Amitabh Bachchan becoming the quintessential star of the era. Films like Zanjeer (1973), Deewaar (1975), and Sholay (1975) became monumental successes, blending action, drama, and romance with strong social commentary.

The Masala Era and Commercial Cinema (1980s–1990s):

In the 1980s and 1990s, Bollywood underwent a transformation with the rise of the "masala" film—highly commercial, formulaic movies that combined elements of drama, romance, action, and music. This era also saw the emergence of major stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, who would define Bollywood cinema for decades to come.

The 1990s, in particular, marked a period of significant change, with the liberalization of the Indian economy bringing a new wave of technology and a growing middle class. Movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) became massive hits both domestically and internationally, solidifying Bollywood’s place in the global entertainment industry.

The Rise of Independent Cinema (2000s–Present):

While Bollywood remained dominant, the 2000s also saw the rise of independent cinema in India. Filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj, and Zoya Akhtar began creating films that broke away from the conventional norms of mainstream cinema. Movies like Dev.D (2009), The Lunchbox (2013), and Gully Boy (2019) received critical acclaim for their realistic portrayal of complex characters and stories.

The digital revolution has also played a significant role in the evolution of Desi cinema, with the advent of platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hotstar making it easier for independent filmmakers to reach global audiences. These platforms have allowed for more experimental and diverse content to thrive, with films exploring a wide range of genres.

The Impact of Regional Cinema:

Parallel to the rise of independent films, regional desicinema has also been experiencing a renaissance in India. The success of films like Kumbalangi Nights (2019), Super Deluxe (2019), and Jersey (2021) has brought regional languages and stories to the forefront of Indian cinema. Regional filmmakers are exploring themes that are often more grounded and relevant to local cultures.

Conclusion:

Desi cinema has come a long way, from the golden age of Bollywood to the diverse and innovative films being made today. It has witnessed the rise of new stars, directors, and industries, and it continues to adapt to global trends while retaining its unique cultural identity. Whether it's the glitz and glamour of mainstream Bollywood, the realism of independent cinema, or the compelling narratives of regional films, Desi cinema is more vibrant than ever, and its evolution is far from over.

Kriti Sanon is a name synonymous with talent and versatility in the Indian film industry. But her journey to the silver screen wasn't your typical Bollywood story. Let's delve into the life and career of this award-winning actress, exploring her academic background, family life, and the milestones that shaped her into the star she is today.

Early Life and Education: Engineer by Degree, Actress by Dream

Born on July 27, 1990, in New Delhi, Kriti hails from a Punjabi Hindu family. Her father, Rahul Sanon, is a chartered accountant, and her mother, Geeta Sanon, is a professor of physics at the University of Delhi [Wikipedia: Kriti Sanon].

Another contribution for @south-asian-zutara, this time based on @kaoruhana08′s adaptation of the classic film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Please check out this story on AO3. Of course, one can’t dedicate just a single piece to DDLJ, so anticipate a montage of scenes inspired by one of my favorite Bollywood movies of all time. Do you recognize the outfits?

DAY 266 - DAY 267 ~ 1 August,2021- 2 August,2021

9:45PM

Need to pray.. meditate.. do something serene.. need peace.

Well, does watching a movie count as peace? Well, to some of them including me:)

I think I watched Dilwale Dulhaniya le Jayenge ( popularly known as DDLJ) for the 8th time maybe, though after a pretty long while( maybe after an year or two), but I still fall in love with that movie every time I watch it.

(Some) people find the film cringe.. but people have their own view-points I guess, and you can't do much about it:) But, there's no denying the fact that the film is truly iconic in the true sense of the term. The articles or columns written about the film is a certificate to the fact.

Anyway, they won't and they can't make any more films like that ever again and that's definitely sad.

That's all for now, bye:)

DDLJ IS LOVE💕

links and titles to 2020 works

[crazy ex girlfriend] my breathing is light and my head is filled silly [31,498] - oneshot series got a couple of new ones!

[crazy ex girlfriend] miss do it right [4,885] - heather helps valencia propose to beth.

[the 100] gifts (to be coveted) [5,302] - an outline of emori and murphy’s relationship, lots of emori introspection.

[dilwale] slipping from the shade [3,112] - a coda scene where meera and kaali finally get some alone time...for a little while.

[the 100] peace for the morning [2,698] - a modern AU memori fic inspired directly by a oneshot that I adore.

[crazy ex girlfriend] he’s a fun guy, and he’ll grow on you[5,857] - the nathaniel turns into a tree fic!

[dilwale dulhania le jayenge] the braveheart and the bride return hand in hand [1,511] - after their epic rescue romance, simran and raj face the reality of being married.

[crazy ex girlfriend] there are gators in west covina [5,932] - rebecca has Complicated feelings about nathaniel leaving for guatemala. told via metaphors.

Favorite Fic: Probably slipping from the shade. It’s simple, but I think the language feels nice and really matches the mood I’m trying to go for. Also, posting it after a long period where I struggled to write was really nice.

Hardest Fic: he’s a fun guy, and he’ll grow on you just...logistically figuring out why they were in that situation and what I could get away with for the nymph without exposition, not to mention that it was a very late birthday present, oops. (Also, lowkey annoyed that i just had an epiphany that i could have made nathaniel a cactus and it still probably would have been funny. damn.)

Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2021? This one’s a maybe - I’m always happy to follow new prompts, but I just can’t guarantee that I’ll get to them.

What was the best thing about 2020? Writing Bollywood fic, oddly enough. The fics I had have a different style and tone that felt very satisfying.

While I haven’t posted anything for YuYu Hakusho yet, I have been outlining some ideas that are completely different from anything I thought I would write before, and I’m really, really excited to execute them.

What was the worst thing about 2020? For a specific concrete goal: I never got around to giving telepathy au a hard edit and got it ready to post.

In a more abstract sense, this has been a really hard year for writing. I’ve been lucky to be secure in my personal life, but for whatever reason, the pandemic took a huge toll mentally. But it’s not because I can’t write - there are at least 20-30,000 words of nearly-finished fics CEG (excluding telepathy au), Bollywood fics, and YuYu Hakusho currently on my laptop. 

What happened (I think) is that the perfectionist tendency I noticed last year has gotten much worse, which keeps me pointlessly revising without necessarily improving the quality of the work. I also was more scared - I posted some of these fics under Anonymous this year, despite not really having a good reason to do so. I’m not ashamed of any of them, but I legitimately had a hard time posting them under my name. I don’t like that.

Therefore, I think my focus this year is to try out a more regimented writing routine, and seriously look at my editing choices and think through why I’m not satisfied with them. This might mean that I need to overhaul my approach, possibly from the beginning - finding out if developing a more detailed outline, or writing linearly, or something else helps me get where I want to go. I think there are definitely some growing pains involved, and it won’t guarantee that I’ll be happy with my work across the board, because every story is different, but you know what? It’s worth a shot.

Any last thoughts for 2020? Good riddance!

Goals for 2021

Post 1 fic per month, even if it’s just drabble length.

Edit and post telepathy AU, because I put a lot of work into it, dammit!

Try new writing processes and find out if there are adjustments I can find to really help me write my stories and feel more satisfied with the end results.
