[radheshyam-tiwari-videocon]

I really really love the movie qala but most importantly it's album which a complete masterpiece. So I would like to make moodboards on old celebrities on songs in the album of qala (sort of like the vibe they give off). I hope you will like it

Qala (2022) – Movie Review

Director – Anvita Dutt Guptan

Genre – Horror/ psychological/ musical/ suspense

Release Date – 11 November 2022

Available on Netflix

Introduction –

What does it look like to be followed by your haunting past and desperately chasing the validation that seems out of reach? The movie Qala, directed by Anvita Dutt, beautifully presents the hard struggles of a young playback singer Qala Manjushree, fighting with her heavy and haunting past. It covers the thrilling reality of mental health and the constant struggle to fit into a societal mold. With its engaging dialogs, excellent performances, and keen details to the sets, the movie has excelled in painting a vivid picture of life from the 1940s. This is not just a story – the film leaves a lasting impression even after the credits roll.

Plot Analysis –

Set in the 1930s-1940s, Qala is a psychological drama film that revolves around the haunting musical journey of Qala Manjushree, played by Tripti Dimri. Qala, a talented playback singer, becomes the soulful voice behind every song yet she yearns for a single voice – the validation and love of her impassive mother.

Qala lives with her mother played by (Swastika Mukherjee), who trained her strictly in music and eventually put mental pressure on her since birth. Despite her efforts, her hard work remains unacknowledged by her mother, who instead fixates on the potential of another budding singer Jagan played by Bilal Khan. Persistent to fulfill her mother’s dream of building a name, Qala pushes herself to the extreme and eventually succeeds. However, her longing for her mother’s validation and love remains unaltered.

As the story unfolds, we witness that the constant pressure for validation has taken a toll on her mental well-being. But Qala keeps her inner battles beneath her smiling façade. The narrative gradually reveals the dirty hidden truths that add layers to her complex character. The film portrays the fragility of mental health and highlights how it’s usually ignored. While the movie is slow-paced, it allows the story to simmer completely. Beautifully unraveling her struggles, desires and her haunted past. What sets Qala apart is the unsettling film's climax, shedding light on the mental health struggles. It allows the audiences to reflect on the fragility of psychological tensions and the importance of acknowledging and empathizing with them, which societal norms often push under the rug.

Performance –

Tripti Dimri won the audience's hearts with her outstanding performance as Qala. She captured the essence of the character, the ambition, and the struggle of internal voices. Her remarkable work to live the complex character like Qala was acknowledgeable. Qala’s mother played by Swastika Mukherjee delivers an impactful performance as an emotionally distant mother. Furthermore, the supporting cast, including Babil Khan in a debut role as Jagan adds to the important part of the story, leaving a lasting impression.

Music –

With its focus on a musical journey, the film features several lovely songs that transport us to the 1930s and 1940s. Swanand Kirkire, Varun Grover, and Amitabh Bhattacharya wrote the songs, which were masterfully composed by Amit Trivedi and added depth and an emotional connection to the movie. The song "Phero Na Najariya," with the melodic voice of Shreesha Bhagvatula, was the most notable. It depicts Qala's needs and desires. Additionally, the song "Ghhode pe Sawar" gained fame due to its light-hearted vibes and 40s influence. Every song is skillfully interwoven and speaks to the film's complexity. Additionally, these tracks are a must-listen if you enjoy gentle melodies.

Hit – The audio and appealing visuals of the movie are the backbone of the film, but what stood out the most are the performances. The authentic work and dialogue delivery is commendable and adds to the impact of the theme. The movie masterfully blends mild horror and psychological drama. It might not be like a guessing game like other psychological genres, but gripping enough to hold your attention till the end.

Miss – While the plot is thought-provoking and insightful, the pacing may feel a bit slow for viewers who prefer a faster narrative.

Verdict – All things considered, Qala is a masterfully shot movie that is notable for how it captures the protagonist's inner voice. It has a sense of aspiration, and its charm is enhanced by well-chosen music. Even while some viewers may find some of the scenes uncomfortable, it's definitely a compelling and enjoyable movie.

Recommended.

Rating – 7.8/10

100% share these sentiments...why am I finding this movie in 2024 😭? Why Avinash is still not mainstream yet and why Tripti had to play such an insignificant role in the trash film Animal for recognition of her talent 😭😭??!!

Truly Desis fail their own cinema by not promoting the good stuff 🥲😭

Watched the movie ✨ Laila Majnu ✨ today. 🤌

The fact that this movie released in 2018 and I didn't know about it's existence till a few days back is criminal. 😭 Like it's nearly the end of 2022 and I didn't know about this? Had seen the actors in Bulbbul but didn't think of looking up other movies of them?!

Avinash Tiwary's acting?!🤌 Like how beautifully he portrayed the way love can drive a person insane. And I cannot put into words how amazing he acted. I need a movie with Avinash and Tripti as the lead couple again, but this time with a happy ending🥲

Why is this movie not famous? How have I never heard of it before? It's tragic how I missed the chance to see this masterpiece in the theatre.

I'll defend Tripti Dimri with my life.

People online randomly hype people to the moon and suddenly drag them through the dirt for no reason.

You hyped her for the Animal role, calling her 'national crush',edits of Bhabhi 2 and what not for no reason.

Then suddenly you started shaming her for the same role.She had a chance to do a movie with Ranbir Kapoor and a big director why wouldn't she do it. Now she is in the new Vishal Bharadwaj project with Shahid Kapoor and people are talking so much shit of her without even seeing.. this makes me so furious, without even seeing her best projects.

You haven't seen Qala or Bulbul or Laila Majnu, where she has acted brilliantly!! Qala has one of the best performances I've ever seen,the sense of pain, regret and loneliness she has delivered in it is amazing.

But no, you've seen a movie where she was for hardly 10 minutes or one bad movie.. chlo ji start the hate comments.

She deserves all the hype and love for she is an incredible actress,just try researching before spreading so much hate about someone.

[someoftheday]

Everyone was rooting for Triptii when she was an indie darling, and even I disliked the role she got in Animal. When I read the plot of Bad Newz I thought, here we go again, but the trailer was hilarious and lighthearted and all three songs that dropped so far are great. I am sure it will have the same style as Good Newwz, so I'm actually looking forward to it now

[timetravellingkitty]

Do you know any Indian horror movies like a slasher film (or just in general) because I've personally never seen an Indian slasher movie? Or Indian musicals because I love musicals or just Indian films in general I would love some recommendations!!!<3

Hey! There aren't that many Indian slashers but two I remember are NH10 and Chup: Revenge of the Artist. For other horror, I recommend Bulbbul, Tumbbad, Aamis and Manichitrathazu (this one has been remade in other Indian languages so you can also check those out)

Indian musicals well. I will be really honest most of our movies technically fall under this category we just have to start dancing everywhere BUT to start off, I'll recommend some movies from the different industries:

Hindi: Om Shanti Om, 3 Idiots (mandatory viewing if you want to get into Indian cinema), Rang De Basanti, Qala, Sholay, Taare Zameen Par, Kal Ho Naa Ho and Fitoor

Telugu: Jersey, Magadheera, Sita Ramam, Shyam Singha Roy, Eega (don't question anything. Please don't) and Mahanati

Malayalam: Uyare, Premam, Bangalore Days, Minnal Murali, Athiran, Jallikkattu and Jana Gana Mana

Tamil: Iruvar, Ponniyin Selvan (both parts), Kaithi and its sequel Vikram, Jai Bhim, Super Deluxe, Gargi, Paava Kadhaigal and Soorarai Pottru

For Marathi I've only watched Sairat and The Disciple but I would recommend both and for Kannada there's always 777 Charlie (it's about a dog. What more could you want)

Like you can probably tell, there is a LOT meaning that there's a lot of other amazing stuff I had to leave out but I think this is a good starting point (our film output is number 1 in the world for a reason). Feel free to ask if you want more recs <3

[bwaldorf]

ramasha do you have any bollywood movie recs?? 🎤

omgggg em im so honored you thought of me!! 🫶🏼🩷

tbh i've sorta been on a journey of watching more bollywood (and south asian cinema in general), since there was a huge chunk of my life where i just never really kept up with releases and was sorta discouraged from watching it so my taste isn't the Most diverse (in terms of genres and years) but i'm working on it 😭 that said, here's my attempt at giving you a lot of different options, so hopefully there's something here that strikes your fancy hehe :3

lots will be under the cut bc im a huge YAPPER.... sorry. also, some of these haven't really aged that well and are sometimes more of just a nostalgic fav and/or ones i think are iconic so... take some of these recs with a grain of salt

some of my bigger personal faves:

om shanti om (2007) — it may hit more if you have a bit more exposure to bollywood cinema and its industry bc it references it a lot, but i still think it's an enjoyable movie regardless! (yes i am biased bc this is one of my fav bollywood movies ever + a huge nostalgic fav. plus SRK and deepika padukone.. can't go wrong there!)

haider (2014) — this movie is SOOOO good! i highly rec it 💞 it's an adaptation of hamlet, set within the backdrop of the 1995 kashmir conflicts. this is actually a part of trilogy of shakespeare adaptations by the director: the other two are maqbool (2003) which is macbeth and omkara (2006) which is othello

main hoon na (2004) — another SRK nostalgic fav

ghajini (2008) — it rips off christopher nolan's memento but i think it adds a lot of its own stuff too and i have a soft spot for it 😭

andhadhun (2018)

kahaani (2012)

tumbbad (2018)

amar singh chamkila (2024)

3 idiots (2009) — the most likely one that non regular bollywood watchers will know and deservedly so imo

gully boy (2019)

hum saath saath hain (1999) — okay not objectively the best movie.. but its a hugely nostalgic and comfort movie for me and i think its great if you wanna watch something that's heartfelt and doesn't have a ton of high stakes conflict

maine pyar kiya (1989) — same as above ☝🏼 i watched this one a lot as a kid

jab we met (2007)

devdas (2002) — worth it for at least the beautiful cinematography, costumes, and gorgeous talented cast

fanaa (2006) — plot is kinda messy at times but it was a real angst machine for me as a kid 😭

photograph (2019)

sir (2018)

bulbbul (2020) — tw for a rape scene though. sorry for the spoiler but it was genuinely really harrowing for me to watch so i think its important to mention

misc other movies i've seen:

qala (2022)

dil bole hadippa! (2009) — admittedly, i haven't rewatched this one in a long time so i can't totally say it holds up. it's a rip-off of she's the man, but … better….. TO ME. yes im speaking from nostalgia bc this is the one i saw first

badhaai do (2022) — this is technically a 'sequel' to the similarly titled movie badhaai ho (2018) but they're actually total standalones

gangubai kathiawadi (2022) — i have such mixed feelings about this one but it's a movie that really stuck with me ever since i watched it soooo yeah

raees (2017) — SRK looks unbelievably fine in that movie. need i say more?

koi mil gaya (2003) — it's a mix of both ET and close encounters of the third kind... but in my very biased, nostalgic opinion: better 🫣 there's also a few sequels, but i only really remember seeing krrish (2006)

josh (2000) — another entry to the SRK looks super gorgeous in this movie 😭 this is basically a desi west side story

go goa gone (2013) — not the best to me, but its a bollywood zombie movie! which was a very new concept to me in that industry so ofc i had to throw it in there

chennai express (2013)

mohabbatein (2000)

dilwale dulhania le jayenge (1995) — had to include this for SRK reasons and also bc it's a massively impactful movie in the industry so i'd be remiss not to

andaz apna apna (1994)

ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga (2019)

jaane tu.. ya jaane na (2008)

aaja nachle (2007)

munna bhai mbbs (2003)

gangs of wasseypur - part 1 (2012) — i've only seen the first one in this series but if you want a somewhat slower, meditative, gangster movie this one def fits the bill

what's your raashee? (2009) — can't remember how well this ages (i think it was pretty mid?) but the concept is fun! priyanka chopra plays 12 girls: each personifying a different zodiac sign as the main guy tries to find his soulmate 😭

taare zameen par (2007) — you'll also see this listed as 'like stars on earth' sometimes

amar akbar anthony (1977)

don (2006) — villainous SRK? sign me up! he actually has multiple movies where he's this sorta antihero/"antivillain" type character. and even a few where he's a straight-up villain. i've been trying to get through all of those bc i just love his range

anjaam (1993) — an example of the aforementioned thing ☝🏼 SRK plays a genuinely terrible guy here, and i love how it actually challenges a lot of the tropes that bollywood tends to use in its romances and shows how creepy and stalkerish they actually are (despite it being typically framed in the narrative otherwise)

partner (2007) — i recently found out it was basically ripping will smith's hitch 😭 i haven't seen that one so i can't say which is better, but if you enjoyed that one, you'll probably be into this one too. it's very unserious and not the Best. but i watched it a lot as a kid

aaja nachle (2007)

roadside romeo (2008) — okay this is a very unserious, low budget animated movie rec. it's soooo so silly and dumb but if you're in the market for smth like that, this is an amusing one for that

welcome (2007) — i gotta rewatch this one bc i don't remember a lot but it seems like a lot of tomfoolery and shenanigans

my name is khan (2010) — another one i gotta rewatch for its politics but i figured i'd throw it in regardless

black (2005)

kal ho naa ho (2003)

kuch kuch hota hai (1998)

sholay (1975)

hungama (2003)

some from my watchlist that i haven't seen yet:
