Irrfan Khan MOST ICONIC Dialogues! Ft. Paan Singh Tomar, Qarib Qarib Sin...

[bolllywoodhungama]

EXCLUSIVE: Brijendra Kala says, “Main us waqt aaya jab hero sundar hota tha, heroine sundar hoti thi, villain sundar hota tha, comedian sundar hota tha”

Brijendra Kala humorously shared the reason for becoming a writer early on in his filmi career.

Brijendra Kala has been acting in Hindi films since over two decades. He has played a wide range of characters in a number of small and big budget films in these years. Some of his most noteworthy roles have come in films like Jab We Met, Paan Singh Tomar, Jolly LLB, Ankhon Dekhi, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Jolly LLB 2, Shubh Mangal Savdhan, Sherni, 83, etc. Recently, the fourth season of his web show The Aam Aadmi Family started streaming on ZEE 5.

Bringing a subtle undercurrent of humour is one of his main skills as an actor. Speaking about this, Brijendra Kala told Bollywood Hungama exclusively, “I did theatre for around 19-20 years mainly in Mathura, except that I occasionally visited Delhi or Lucknow for shows. So, my flavour (of my humour) is from my city. The way you behave with people and the way they behave with you, you start taking pointers from there. Maybe that became my habit, and it started showing little bit in my work. I use it after thinking if it is required in a scene. If it suits and others like it, I retain it.”

Brijendra Kala has acted in both big budget and low budget movies. Sharing the difference he experienced in both, he said, “It’s just that you are the star in low budget film. And someone else is the star in big budget. That’s the feel you get. In low budget, you need to tell an actor how the big guys do it. One should feel it’s big budget despite being low budget. One should make it look as if a good amount of money has been spent on it.”

He added, “In big budget films, things get done very easily. You can heave a sigh of relief. In such films, you only need to be concerned about how much are you able to do well.”

Brijendra Kala started his filmi career as a writer. He explained the reason behind this through a humorous example. “Main us waqt aaya jab hero sundar hota tha, heroine sundar hoti thi, villain sundar hota tha, comedian sundar hota tha aur sundar bhi sundar hota tha. So, what do you do in such situation? When you look at yourself in the mirror, you feel either you should become an assistant director or a writer,” he said.

He shared that he was into writing since his early days. “I used to write plays and also (content) for Aakashwani. I consider Hari Shankar Parsai as my Guru. I used to try and write on the same lines. I then wrote for Tigmanshu (Dhulia) and Balaji (Telefilms). But later when I started getting more work in acting, my writing automatically lessened. I am not writing anything right now. But the scenes I do as an actor, I ensure that I contribute as a writer as much as I can to make the scene better,” he said.

Apart from giving perfect shots, Brijendra Kala also ensures that the mood on the sets is easy going. “I am always naughty on the sets,” he said. “I make sure that the atmosphere on the sets is very entertaining. I ensure that nobody is hesitant about anything with anyone. If there is any popular actor on the set, I make myself so comfortable with him that when I perform with him, there is no hesitation. If you gel well with your co-stars and director, your work becomes easy.”

Coming to his forthcoming projects, he has three movies with Maddock Films, along with Jeevan Bheema Yojana, Johnny Jumper and he will soon start shooting the season 2 of Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen.

Not many people would know that, apart from Saurabh Shukla and Sanjay Mishra, Brijendra Kala is the only actor who has been a part of both Jolly LLB movies, although in different roles. When asked whether he would be seen in Jolly LLB 3 as well, he said, “I don’t know. I haven’t got a call yet. Maybe if I get a call, I will do.”

Bollywood & Biopics

DISSECT DEEPER #004

From Mary Kom to The Legend of Bhagat Singh, biopics have always been a quintessential part of Bollywood. Almost always guaranteeing a big box-office number, these movies attract the public eyes to untold stories. The actors playing the pivotal roles gain stardom for their capability and the directors gain certification of a good director from the public. Over the years, there have been many masterpieces in this genre (like Chak De! India and Shahid) and some... well... not masterpieces (like Azhar and Haseena Parkar) but regardless, they gain a fair amount of media coverage and love from the audiences. However, I’ve recently noticed a large number of biopics going on production (mostly the ones on the picture before but other ones include 83, Prithviraj, an unnamed Saina Nehwal movie, and Gunjan Saxena) and I just cannot help but ask; why are there so many biopics under production now? What started the trend and why is it still so prevalent? 

Looking At The Numbers

Firstly, let’s look at things from a producer’s standpoint: to both earn money and provide an unforgettable movie-going experience, they need to invest in a project that has previously proved its engagement with audiences. Other than the holy trinity of genres I call RAD (romance, action, drama), a very prevalent and successful genre is a biopic. Take the last decade as an example; it started out with the promising Dirty Picture and  Paan Singh Tomar. After a row of impressive biopics back-to-back, Dangal hit the theatres in 2016 and became the highest-grossing Bollywood (Hindi) movie ever with a whopping ₹2,024 crores worldwide. This groundbreaking movie signifies the marketability of a biopic and how much it attracts the public. Even more so, in later years other movies like Sanju and Padmaavat have gained a considerable amount of revenue, further backing up this argument. So long story short, over the last decade, biopics have continuously proven that they are highly marketable and can gain a lot of money. Like, a lot.

Gaining Credibility

Other than the numbers, another thing biopics are known for is giving actors acting credibility (and by credibility I mean the gaining respect an actor gets from critics, audiences, and other individuals in the industry, not from the money the movie gains). An actor who exactly embodies what I am trying to convey is Rajkummar Rao. After his debut in Love, Sex Aur Dhoka, his later roles were either supporting characters in successes or main characters in flops. Although many critics praised his performance in these movies, he was still unable to gain respect as a leading man in Bollywood. That was until Shahid rolled around the corner. The movie was about a Muslim lawyer named Shahid Azmi and although it was a flop, Rao was immensely praised for his performance. He later received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor and National Award for Best Actor along with Suraj Venjaramoodu. After that, Rao was finally regarded as a serious actor and delivered other memorable performances in movies like Queen, Bareily Ki Barfi, and Newton. It’s not just the actors who gain credibility from biopics; the directors do too. Meghna Gulzar is a prime example of that. Before she made the critically acclaimed Talvar about the 2008 Noida double murder case, she made movies like Filhaal..., Just Married, and Dus Kahanniyan. According to the IMDB ratings, the movies weren’t that great, having an average of 5.6/10. But when you look at the IMDB rating of Talvar (8.2/10), it’s almost hard to believe it is from the same director.

Endorsing That Guy

Another sad and unfortunate reason as to why biopics are popular nowadays (albeit quite small) is because of endorsing or enlightening a famous figure’s public image. A few I can think of off the top of my head are PM Narendra Modi, Azhar, and Sanju. In all of these cases, the creative decision is to focus on other aspects of the person’s life, like in Azhar, the creators focused on the cricketer’s personal life rather than the match-fixing scandal which banned him from the ICC and BCCI for life. Another trend I see is them bending certain facts of their history to make them appear helpless. To avoid being political, in Sanju it was shown that Dutt first started using drugs on the set of his first movie Rocky with the fictional character of Zubin when in reality, he started using them in high school with his friends. Although a few of these alterations can be easily looked over, it falters the delivery of the movie's final message and not to mention distracts the audience members from the otherwise engaging aspects of the movie. It just feels like the movie has a hidden agenda, which pulls us out of the movie immediately.

Outro

In my opinion, biopic movies are a blessing from whatever is above. It shows us how there are hidden gems amongst the generally depressing world and how inspiration can be found anywhere. The delivery of their message is also much more effective than that of a fictional story because it is marketed to be real. However, sometimes overdoing it can lose the magic behind a biopic and the formula of the story soon becomes stale and overdone. I do think Bollywood is heading that way with their next row of biopics, but I’m still excited to watch many of these movies. Hopefully, these movies will prove me wrong and the formula isn’t stale and dry. Also, let me know what you guys think of biopics. Do you generally like most of them or do you think there are way too many to keep track of? Thank you so much for making it this far into the post. Wash your hands and practice social distancing :)
