Reception of the film

Directed by Anant Mahadevan, the Hindi biographical drama is based on the lives and contributions of Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule, who are known as pioneers of women’s education in India. It was released in theatres yesterday and opened to mostly decent reviews from critics. Unfortunately, it went unnoticed at the ticket windows.

Ananth Mahadevan, unarguably one of the most underrated filmmakers of Hindi cinema, is a bit of a biopic wizard. I have not forgotten his Marathi double whammy, Mee Sindhutai Sapkal and Doctor Rakhmabai, captivating portraits of two women from the past who made a difference to the quality of our lives.

Phule is a more tenderly laid out a tapestry than Mahadevan’s earlier bio-pic, more emotionally rich and handsomely mounted. It brings to resplendent life the tirelessly devoted social reformist Jyotirao Phule and his wife Savitribai Phule, played with such sincerity and passion by Pratik Gandhi and Patralekha. They seem to be born for this job.

Pratik is no stranger to integral performances. He lives every breath of Jyotirao’s impassioned commitment to educate girl children and to eradicate the caste system. In his confrontational moments with Brahminical tyranny, Pratik portrays Jyotirao as a man who never ceases to...

If variety is the spice of life then this week offers a veritable feast for moviegoers. Two of the films on release have acquired added curiosity value due to circumstances totally beyond the control of the products and its producers.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s recent unsavoury comments on the Brahmin community has brought the film a spot of notoriety which it can ill afford.

Says director Anant Mahadevan, “I don’t think any film gains an audience through this kind of publicity. Phule will find its own audience regardless of the controversies.”

Bollywood is sometimes much more than its glitter and glamour. The behind-the-scenes stories can often be more intriguing than the films themselves. Recently, filmmaker Hansal Mehta shared such a story from the struggling days of two living cinematic legends — Manoj Bajpayee, Anurag Kashyap.

Anurag Kashyap’s Race Against Rent

In the mid-90s, Manoj Bajpayee and Hansal Mehta discussed film ideas at Manoj’s Mumbai flat. Hansal recalled, “We were discussing ideas. Baat karte karte woh so gaya.” (He went to sleep while talking).

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. A young man showed up, introducing himself as a huge fan of Hansal’s film Highway. “Ek aadmi aaya… maine bola Manoj bhaiya so rahe hai… wo bolta main aapse milna chahta tha… Highway dekhi thi, paagal ho gaya, bada fan hu… aapko dhund raha hu kabse,” Hansal recalled.

Kashyap didn’t hold back as he wrote, “90 Punjab 95 Tees Dhadak 2, Phule I don’t know how many other films are blocked that exposes the agenda of this casteist, regionalist, racist government is blocked who is so ashamed to see there own face in the mirror. So ashamed that they can’t even openly talk about, what is it about the film that bothers them. F*ckin’ cowards.”

Ananth Mahadevan’s biopic Phule, based on the life of Jyotirao Phule and his wife Savitri which was to release this Friday, has been pushed ahead to the end of the month, to April 25th. Confirming this change of plan, the producer Ritesh Kudecha says, “Yes, the film has been postponed to 25 April. We took the decision this morning.”

All eyes are now on the Sunny Deol starrer Jaat and Gippy Grewal’s Akaal: The Unconquered, both of which open on Thursday, April 7.

For Gippy Garewal’s Akaal, Karan Johar ties up with Gippy to co-produce an action epic which stresses valour and nationalism. While the film is bound to whip up rage in Punjab, it has a certain zest and energy to it, which will make it appealing to audiences outside Punjab. Gippy has not so far conquered the territory outside Punjab. With Akaal, he will.
