Now that number has swelled to 30–40%," he said. Yet, that was 10–15% of the population watching it. "For instance, Salim Langda was a hit back then. Yet, the changing perception fills him with optimism.ĭirector Saeed Akhtar Mirza with Pavan Malhotra on the sets of Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro Having worked with directors like Saeed Akhtar Mirza, Buddhadeb Dasgupta and, more recently, Anurag Kashyap, he understands the difficulty of going against the grain. The actor broke through at the fag end of the heyday of Indian cinema's independent movement. But every character is memorable and the story is completed.' What he meant was that the screenplay is good."įew understand this phenomenon of changing tastes like Pavan Malhotra.
Yet one day he was telling me, 'Our films are 2–3 hours long, but they only make 1–1.5 hr-long films. Now, remember he does not know what a screenplay is. My domestic help recently told me about an English film, dubbed in Hindi. You have different things to watch and at your hand. Malhotra said, "When Netflix, Google came into play, people started watching foreign cinema. The reason is also the growing accessibility of good and international cinema. He may do commercial films in the future, but he will be remembered for Article 15 (2019), Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015)." In fact, Khurrana's position in the industry is because of out-of-the-box stories. The film, without any major stars, was a huge success. Praising films like Badhaai Ho (2018) and Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015), the actor said, "A good example is Badhaai Ho. When you have to tell a story about a family, you can't tell it without describing their courtyard, how they gather on the terrace, or the town they live in." "When storytelling becomes finessed, details become naturally specific. Slowly, songs were pushed into films for this territory. Songs could make a film successful at the box office. There was a time people would go to the movies only for the songs. They were trying too hard to sell the platforms."Ĭomparing it to the overindulgence in musicals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he said, "For us, music is a part of our cinematic culture. Pointing to the generous and often gratuitous use of sex and violence in stories, he said, "Since there is no censorship, there was sex, violence, etc. Yet, the actor pointed out, this medium, like any other, has its teething troubles. You have the liberty to speak in detail on one subject." Yes, it offers a platform for actors, technicians, writers to explore more. The eight or nine episodes you are shooting are three films almost. What I have shot here could be run in theatres just the same. Malhotra shrugged and said, "Actors work for the camera. Malhotra in Buddhadeb Dasgupta's Bagh Bahadur (1989) Having been on television ( Nukkad, 1986), the big screen and now the digital medium, a question about his experience in this new zone was inevitable. He began 2021 with the web-series Grahan and has followed it up with another good performance in Tabbar. In the end, every brick in the wall is important." Just like a family, some are overworked, some have fun, some are made to run around. I have to be happy and I feel like this is a family.
I tend to speak with the light boys, assistants, everyone on set. "It always helps to coordinate better when shooting," Malhotra said. An essential part, he said, for any project to come good. Joking around with co-stars Pathak and Shorey during the press interactions, he seemed to be in good spirits. Then something else in the situation changes, forcing his hand."ĭespite the morally incongruous nature of the story and the high tension involved, the actor seemed at ease in his role. He commits one crime, thinking it would be his last. If he won't do that, then the situation will escalate. Malhotra explained, "He is committing a crime, but from one point of view, maybe he is not. So when it comes to committing a crime to protect his family, he approaches it with the cold calculation of a detective and the ruthlessness of a hitman, leaving the audience conflicted about his morality. Malhotra's Omkar Singh is a man who knows the limit, range and nature of law enforcement. No actor would leave this kind of a role." When you watch it, you know he is trying to keep everything together. For me, to play this character, we are talking about family matters. "Then it makes you curious about the character's next move. "The screenplay holds you," the veteran told.
