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.
