LUCK BY CHANCE (2009)

[brindaneer]

Whether or not God exists is one perpetual conundrum, but even the most hardened atheists of this world are rarely able to disclaim the significance of fate in life. What plausible reason other than misfortune accounts for the countless failures thousands of people encounter regularly in various spheres of life despite never making a mistake of their own? None. How else can a sane person explain why some individuals are born privileged while other similar ones are forced to suffer incessantly amidst abject poverty until death relieves them of their sufferings? Cruel, you say? Well, undoubtedly so. One person’s good luck so often brings misery to someone else.

This is exactly what happens in Zoya Akhtar’s debut directorial film, ‘Luck, by Chance’ when a photograph of the protagonist Vikram Jaisingh is selected purely ‘by chance’ for the lead role in a film and that of his at least as talented (if not more) friend Abhimanyu’s is missed. One random action, and Vikram rises to glory in the magical kingdom of Bollywood! Fortunately or unfortunately, this is true of innumerable ‘Vikrams’ and ‘Abhimanyus’ in the real world. Notwithstanding the massive amounts of effort that people involved with film-making put in every day, the vital role played by ‘luck’ in the industry can hardly be ignored. And Zoya is not scared to showcase it in her very first venture. She juxtaposes Vikram’s dream ride masterfully with Sona’s nightmare in Bollywood and allows the uncomfortable truth about brutal fate to reverberate unabashedly throughout her film. It is this hard hitting honesty that makes ‘Luck by Chance’ one of the best chronicles of the Hindi film industry during recent times.

Just like her later films, here Zoya presents the audience with a vast gamut of characters that add exquisite flavours to her concoction, thereby making it all the more memorable for them. The mix includes a shrewd producer, an ageing, conceited, yester-year, her impulsive as well as ambitious daughter, an incompetent director, an egotistical superstar, a self-centered newcomer and a talented, hardworking, but exploited young actress among several others. Farhan Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma lead this brilliant ensemble which includes some of Bollywood’s most respected names such as the late Rishi Kapur, Dimple Kapadia, Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Kapur, Isha Sharvani and last but definitely, not the least, Hrithik Roshan.

It is this last name and the character he plays that we are going to focus upon in the present blog. Of course, the film itself deserves a complete blog but since this project started as a celebration of Hrithik’s works, we deemed it best to maintain our initial objective. Perhaps once we have completed analyzing all Hrithik’s films, we can come back to this very special one and dedicate a separate blog to it.

Hrithik plays Zafar Khan in Luck by Chance, the quintessential Bollywood superstar. Suavity, good looks, charm, talent- Zafar has everything in abundance. He is also completely human, filled with the baser human emotions of envy, guile and selfishness. It is Zafar who backs out at the last moment from the film of his mentor (Rishi Kapur) because he finds greener pastures. He does so without much concern for the massive loss that his producer might incur, the same producer who had given him footing in Bollywood. But, as Zafar points out to his secretary, he is tired of being ‘owned’ by the man. Incidentally, it is this specific moment wherein Zoya decides to portray Zafar’s softer side. Stuck at a traffic signal, Zafar finds few street urchins flocking near his luxury car and what follows is one of the most endearing scenes Bollywood has ever produced. The pure joy on the faces of the children as they see the superstar ‘up close and personal’ is heart-touching. And so is Zafar’s reaction to them! Instead of being irritated or throwing tantrums which might be expected from stereotypical stars, Zafar engages with the kids in his own way, making them happier with every little interaction. In that instant, he is as pure a human being as is possible for anyone to be. Zoya masterfully manages to reveal that Zafar is neither a monster nor an angel, only a common human being filled with both positives and negatives, through this very subtle and apparently trivial moment. The closed window of Zafar’s car which acts as a barrier between him and the children is a metaphorical representation of the class divide that prevails not only in ours but every ‘civilized’ society across the world. It is also a symbol of the boundary that separates a superstar from his common fans; a boundary that is often impossible to cross even if someone is willing to. Only a director of Zoya’s calibre can be expected to convey so many hard realities through a scene that lasts for about a minute. As flawless with his expressions as ever, Hrithik is superlative in this scene as the humane Zafar.

Talking about expressions, Luck by Chance also contained ‘Baawre’ which definitely ranks among Hrithik’s top dance performances in our list, not just because of his moves but more importantly, due to his countenance and attitude. Hrithik is phenomenal in this song and it is an out and out ‘paisa vasool’ performance. One other scene that deserves to be mentioned in the context of Hrithik’s acting is the interaction between Zafar and Karan Johar at a party during which the latter discloses to Zafar how stars are made. It is all a matter of the same old ‘luck’. A reigning star refuses to do a film and some newcomer gets a chance. Luck by Chance! Of course, whether or not he is able to utilize that opportunity depends on the individual’s talent, but destiny does come first. Hrithik’s conveyance of Zafar’s jealousy as he realizes that he has created his own competitor unwittingly is absolutely on the spot. All in all, Zafar Khan is possibly one of the most impactful extended cameos Hindi cinema has ever seen, and all thanks to Zoya and Hrithik for that.

Incidentally, Hrithik also played notable guest roles in two other films. One of them was directed by none other than Zoya’s brother Farhan. Hrithik starred as none other but Don himself in a scene with the stunning Priyanka Chopra. Well, it was the Don (Shahrukh) in Hrithik’s mask. Looking dapper in a suit, Hrithik walked right into the hearts of the audience as he twirled with Priyanka on the dance floor. Farhan was clever enough to make use of Hrithik and Priyanka’s terrific on-screen chemistry in that one scene and they sizzled together. The other film in which he did a cameo was Vikram Phadnis’s Hrudayantar. He donned Krrish’s attire once more there to give a few moments of happiness to a dying child. The scene between him and the little girl was truly gut-wrenching.

With that, we bid goodbye to our lovely friends with a promise that the break shall be a short one. Thanks for being patient with us.♥️♥️♥️♥️

[planetinformation]

The Wikipedia article of the day for August 16, 2021 is Dimple Kapadia. Dimple Kapadia (born 1957) is an Indian actress of Hindi films. She was discovered at age 14 by Raj Kapoor, who cast her in the title role of Bobby, a major success in 1973. The same year, she married and then quit acting until 1984. Both Bobby and her comeback film Saagar (1985) won her Filmfare Awards for Best Actress. She established herself as a leading lady in both mainstream and parallel Hindi cinema and won acclaim for Kaash (1987), Drishti (1990) and Lekin (1991). Her portrayal of a professional mourner in Rudaali (1993) won her a Filmfare Critics Award and the National Film Award for Best Actress; a supporting role in Krantiveer (1994) earned her a fourth Filmfare Award. Less active in later decades, Kapadia played troubled middle-aged women in Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Leela (2002). She followed with several leading roles, but character parts in films including Luck by Chance (2009), Finding Fanny (2014) and the Hollywood thriller Tenet (2020) brought her more success.

Remember the scene from the film Luck by chance when Farhan Akhtar makes a confession to Dimple Kapadia and says ‘I am in this world because of you’? I pretty much had a similar moment with Rishi Kapoor and my confession happened when I had the good fortune of interviewing him. I told him that my parents are his huge admirers and their first date was when they went to watch his film Sarg…

Luck By Chance Annotated Edition Part 7: Karan Appears

#LuckByChance annotated edition part 7: #KaranJohar appears like a God @karanjohar

Things are getting progressively interesting as the ending comes towards us!  Most importantly, Karan appears!  The unseen God who has put all of this in action. (full index of Luck By Chance coverage here) (more…)

[lazyupdates]

She may have wedded the superstar of the ’70s, Rajesh Khanna. But Dimple Kapadia’s life has been no less phenomenal. Married to both the arc-lights and a megastar in the same year she chose to give up one for the other. But Dimple Khanna soon grew up to some sinister home truths. She yearned for the view outside… never mind if it meant walking down alien alleys. From there began her tryst with herself – as an actor, as a woman. A bunch of formula films later, she broke into the parallel orbit and asserted her credibility as an actor. Aitbaar, Kaash, Lekin, Rudaali, Krantiveer, Angaar, Luck By Chance, Being Cyrus, Finding Fanny… Dimple’s rise as an actor has coincided with her growth as a person. While Mrinal Sen compared her to Sophia Loren and described her face as ‘a landscape of desolation’, Feroz Khan called her a woman ‘who’s just dying to be herself on screen’. Like her character Shanichari in Rudaali, a professional mourner who draws from the torment of her soul, Dimple’s performances resonated the angst within.

Love and loss have been her close allies. Be it the death of relationships or the demise of her loved ones, she’s survived it all. While as Bobby she was sheer sunlight, her wine eyes, through the years, reflect a hangover of pain. And to create what better than revisiting the manor of your own memories. Here’s going through the life and times of the incredible actor…

 That year – 1973!

Amidst a line-up of a hundred young girls, Raj Kapoor singled out the older daughter of Gujarati entrepreneur Chunilal Kapadia and Betty to be launched opposite his son Rishi Kapoor in Bobby (1973). In fact, her introduction scene in the film was inspired from Raj’s first meeting with muse Nargis decades ago… where an unsuspecting Nargis had opened the door to Raj… running her flour smeared hands through her hair!

But before Bobby could win over the audiences, superstar Rajesh Khanna wooed a 15-year-old Dimple to be his child bride in March ’73. While this unexpected twist left his thousand female fans shattered – some even committed suicide – it was a fairytale wedding for Dimple. For someone, who often strolled past the superstar’s sea-facing bungalow Aashirwad in Bandra to someday walk in as the empress of his castle was a surreal moment.  “I came to know him precisely seven days before the marriage. We were together in a flight to Ahmedabad for a show. He sat next to me but did not utter a word. Just as the flight was about to land, he turned towards me, looked hard into my eyes and said he wanted me to marry him,” Dimple once recalled the whirlwind romance. She was 16 to his 31.

 Blockbuster Bobby

Six months after her marriage, released RK’s love tale Bobby. “Mujhse dosti karoge?” asks Bobby Braganza in the iconic scene. A cleft on her cherubic face, sherry eyes, a natural naiveté and loads of untouched sexiness… Dimple became a teen icon. She helmed the Bobby cult – the dotted and knotted Bobby blouse and the earphone-hairstyle, the Bobby clips, Bobby sandals… were feverishly followed. She won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress (along with Jaya Bhaduri for Abhimaan). But that was the magnificent anti-climax of her nipped-in-the-bud career. The mehndi on her hands, visible in the last portions of Bobby, was a grim reminder that she was now Kaka’s possession. 

The rocky marriage

One can never fathom the reasons behind Rajesh’s impulsive decision to marry Dimple. Some dubbed it as ‘attention seeking’, some called it an ‘ego boost’ for the superstar, who wanted to spite his ex-ladylove, actor/model Anju Mahendroo. But sadly, by the end of 1974 when their first daughter Twinkle Khanna was born (she shares the same birthdate, December 29, with her late father) the cracks in the marriage were evident. Rajesh’s slipping stardom and his alleged alcoholism and abusive ways left his adolescent wife traumatised. Still in her early 20s, in 1982, Dimple, reportedly, moved into her parents’ home with daughters, Twinkle and Rinkie, aged eight and five then. She began working with Ramesh Sippy for her comeback film Saagar. “Right from the beginning of my marriage I knew it wouldn’t work out. My biggest failing is I don’t take a stand. I let people stomp all over me. Finally, when I do put my foot down, it’s too late,” she had told Filmfare in July 1983.

The eventuful ‘80s

Though Saagar was to be her comeback, Dasari Narayana Rao’s Zakhmi Sher (1984), opposite Jeetendra released first. Saagar premiered in August 1985 and was controversial for the scene where she was seen topless for a split second. Her easy performance as Mona D’Silva, torn between her friend (Kamal Haasan) and beloved (Rishi Kapoor), won her the Filmfare Best Actress Award. “Certainly, marriage brings security… I was Mrs Rajesh Khanna. It takes guts to leave all that. But now that I’m earning and fending for myself, I feel more secure. There’s a hell of a difference in spending your time playing cards and acting,” she said to Filmfare in October 1984.

Mukul Anand’s Aitbaar (1985), a Hitchcockian thriller (apparently based on Dial M For Murder) with Suresh Oberoi and Raj Babbar, had her play the beautiful wife of a sadistic husband. The film had soulful music by Bappi Lahiri. The songs Kisi nazar ko tera intezar aaj bhi hai and Awaaz di hai have great recall value.

Rahul Rawail’s actioner Arjun with Sunny Deol added to her reliability just as it sparked off rumours of a liaison between the lead pair. Feroz Khan’s stylised Janbaaz (1986) presented her in a sexy and glamorous avatar and is still remembered for her steamy lovemaking scene with Anil Kapoor in the barn. Dimple’s moment of epiphany came with Mahesh Bhatt’s Kaash (1987). The narrative that dealt with the decline of a superstar (Jackie Shroff) had perhaps a familiar echo for the actress, who was also evolving as a person. Her act of a disillusioned wife and a distraught mother had flashes of brilliance. In fact, Bhatt was then quoted saying, “I couldn’t differentiate between Dimple and Pooja her character… She has gone through so much in her life that… she only has to be herself.” Dimple and Jackie shared a great chemistry as their bond traversed through love, conflict, abuse and estrangement… only to come anew.

The dramatic, though coarse, Zakhmi Aurat (1988) had her play a police officer, who gets gang-raped. After the judicial system fails her, she joins forces with other rape victims to castrate the rapists. The film was a bold statement, hitherto unseen in our films. Another notable film was Mukul Anand’s Insaaf (1987). Her pairing with Vinod Khanna was a beauty meets brawn encounter with the song Sulagti hai aankhen… celebrating it to the hilt. Subhash Ghai’s Ram Lakhan (1989) was another commercial success in her diary.

The offbeat ’90s

“When I do glamorous roles, people say I look haggard. Why can’t directors conceive me in a realistic set-up? Why can’t directors like Mahesh Bhatt and Shyam Benegal sign me?” asked Dimple in a Filmfare interview in September 1985. And the ’90s threw open the floodgates of arthouse cinema for her. Govind Nihalani’s Drishti (1990) had Shekhar Kapur and her as a married urban couple, trying to find meaning in a dithering marriage.

Based on Rabindranath Tagore’s short story, Gulzar’s Lekin (1990), set in Rajasthan, revolved around Vinod Khanna who’s entranced by Reva (Dimple), a spirit. Apparently, to make her character truthful, director Gulzar asked her to refrain from blinking and give a ‘fixed gaze’ for a surreal effect. Another milestone was Kalpana Lajmi’s Rudaali (1993). Also set in Rajasthan, the film was based on Mahasweta Devi’s story about professional mourners. Dimple played Shanichari, a woman who has never cried despite a sad life but is compelled to weep for a living. It won her the National Award. “I was proud; I’d proved that an actress from mainstream cinema could win an award,” she told Filmfare in October 1993.

Mrinal Sen’s 1995 Bengali drama Antareen had her play a woman in a loveless marriage. In Mehul Kumar’s Krantiveer (opposite Nana Patekar), she played a journalist, who becomes a rape victim and received her fourth Filmfare Award as the Best Supporting Actress. Other notable films were Shashilal K Nair’s Angaar (1992), where she played an orphan and Priyadarshan’s Gardish (1993), where she played a prostitute.

The magical millennium

Not averse to playing her age, the 2000s had her dabble with an array of characters. They include Farhan Akhtar’s directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai (2001), where she played Tara Jaiswal, a middle-aged alcoholic divorcee. Her amorphous relationship with much younger artist Siddharth (Khanna) here was a poignant portrayal. Leela (20012), directed by Somnath Sen and co-starring Vinod Khanna, followed her unconventional relationship with a student. The year 2005 saw her unite with Rishi Kapoor in Pyaar Mein Twist. They played two middle-aged single parents, who fall in love. Her part of ex-superstar Neena Walia in Luck by Chance (2009), referred to in the film as ‘a crocodile in a chiffon saree’ was applauded. In 2006, she co-starred with Saif Ali Khan and Naseeruddin Shah in Being Cyrus (2006), directed by Homi Adajania. She essayed Katy, Shah’s neurotic wife, who has an affair with a younger Cyrus. Cocktail (2012) and Finding Fanny (2014) tapped her reserves of fun even as they completed her trinity with Adajania.

The golden years

Through time, her equation with estranged husband Rajesh went through an overhaul. The two, somehow, never divorced and the initial resentment gave way to a newfound mutual respect. This was more than evident, when he was detected with cancer. The family, along with son-in-law Akshay Kumar, rallied around Rajesh, stepping wholeheartedly into Aashirwad once again, giving him the support and care that perhaps only a family could shower. When he passed away on July 18, 2012, he was given a farewell, which was a reminder of the phenomenon he once was.

Today, Dimple seems to be in a peaceful phase. “Rinkie is my child and Twinkle is my mother. Twinkle looks after us all. She tries to make my life as comfortable as possible,” she one shared with Filmfare. Fond of painting and surfing the internet, she’s enjoying the mellow moments that life has thrown her way. “There has been a lot of pain in my life but I don’t find myself going into that area…This could be wrong because people say it’s cathartic to go through the process. I’m scared of losing myself even for a few minutes. It’s too painful. I don’t know whether that’s going to work for me or hit me all at once. But so far life has been kind,” she had once shared with Filmfare. A deep thought indeed!
