'Rangeeli' Urmila: From riches to rags!


Let's not jump to erroneous conclusions by concluding the obvious from our headlines. Its not that MASOOM childstar turned oomph gal, the 'rangeeli', Urmila Matondkar has not gone broke due to the global financial crunch! It's simply two very different, infact, poles apart characters that Urmila is essaying in two of her films.

After playing a super–rich and mean calculating 'Kamini' in Himesh Reshammiya's KARZZZZ, Urmila dons a completely contrasting character in Sunil Shetty's Saurabh Kadra directed, EMI. She essays the role of 'Prerna', a very simple and poor girl. 'Prerna' is a very average middle class girl who belongs to the financially weak section of the society and has no one to depend on. So she is compelled to take a loan in order to meet her financial needs. This in turn leads her to meet Sanjay Dutt who plays a loan recovery (EMI) agent!

Urmila is very happy to share screen space with Sanjay Dutt after a gap of almost nine years. Their last film together was Sanjay Chhel's KHOOBSURAT. When asked about the changes in Sanju Baba since she last acted with him, Urmila says that he has not changed at all, and has just mellowed down a bit and is more quiet and at peace with himself.

Roadside Romeo - Movie Review

Rating: **

The premier production house (Yash Raj Films) teams up with one of the biggest studios of West (Walt Disney Pictures) for an animation film. You expect this collaboration to yield incredible results.

Animation movies like THE LION KING and SHREK have appealed to every strata of movie-going audience the world over. Although 'Made in India' animation films are making their way into our plexes, the results, most of the times, are amateurish.

But Roadside Romeo pulls it off. In terms of animation (Tata Elxsi/VCL), it's a step forward as compared to the other animation films. But there's a hitch: Hackneyed script (penned by debutante director Jugal Hansraj).

Films like LION KING or SHREK, even FINDING NEMO, worked because they were innovative concepts. They had interesting stories to tell. Plus, most importantly, they were rich in emotions. You'd laugh when they laughed, you'd cry when they cried, the writing was so effectual.

Roadside Romeo borrows from the masala films of 1980s. There's a hero, a heroine, the mandatory villain, plus love, problems, misunderstandings and conflict, but all's well that ends well. The story is predictable and worse, you don't feel for any of those characters you watch on screen.

Another factor that goes against the film is the fact that it lacks good music. Though the title track and also 'Chule Na' have been publicized, the impact is missing.

Ideally, the makers should've gone ahead and incorporated the evergreen songs from their rich repertoire in this animation film. The kids would've loved it!

There's one more hiccup. Assuming that Roadside Romeo is mainly targeted at the kids, the dialogues by Charlie Anna, the villain who speaks in a South Indian accent, are difficult to decipher and comprehend (at times) even for adults. Imagine, how difficult it would be for the kids to grasp those lines.

Yet, despite the shortcomings, Roadside Romeo works because the second hour keeps you fairly engrossed. A few portions like the cat pretending to be the pretty Laila on a date with Charlie Anna is amazing. Also, the culmination, a straight lift from the by-now-famous train ending from D.D.L.J., is equally enjoyable.

The voice-overs are perfect. Saif (Romeo) and Kareena (Laila) were the right choices for the lead players. Tanaaz Currim (cat) and Sanjay Mishra (the villain's sidekick) stand out as well.

On the whole, it's thumbs up for animation, but thumbs down for scripting in Roadside Romeo. It might glimmer during the festive week, but this Romeo is unlikely to rule the hearts of kids or kids at heart.

I'm very comfortable with homosexuality: Samir Soni

Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das kissed under the mosquito net in Deepa Mehta's Fire. No one from mainstream cinema dared before or after to bring homosexual love openly out of the closet onto the screen.

In fact Rekha who was the first choice for Fire said to me, "I'd happily kiss Nandita Das a dozen times. But not THAT way."

And when Tom Hanks "dared" to play a gay HIV-positive in Philadelphia he refused to kiss his screen-lover Antonio Banderas.

Samir Soni(Raj Kumar Santoshi's discovery best- remembered as Madhuri Dixit's caddish lover in Lajja and as Amitabh Bachchan's ungrateful son in Baghban) is the first Indian actor to have played a gay character in a mainstream Hindi film.

And that isn't all. Samir Soni in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion has actually done a passionate kissing scene with his screen lover played by a young theatre artiste named Anil Kumar.

Madhur spotted Anil in a posh party-scene for Fashion and immediately offered him the role of Samir Soni's lover. Anil accepted without hesitation and had no problems with the intimate scenes. Earlier in Page 3 Madhur had shot a love-making scene between Jai Kalra and Rehaan Engineer. But there was no kissing.

In fact gay kissing is almost non-existent in our cinema.

Laugh Samir. "Is it? Anil was more nervous than I could ever be. I wasn't nervous or anxious at all," says Samir with a laugh. "Why should I be? I think too much hoo-ha is made in our country about sexual orientation.

Isn't there enough violence and unrest being created against minority groups on the basis of religion? Do we need to get all het up about what tow grown-up up men do in privacy?"

The gay kiss in Fashion happens in the car when the dress designer Rahul Arora (Samir Soni) says bye to his lover.

"It's a very natural moment between two people in love. And I didn't have a moment's hesitation in doing it.Why should I? I don't have a girlfriend to be answerable to.

I did think, 'Oh my God, what will my parents say?' But it's not me, it's my character kissing the person he loves. More than me it was my screen-lover Ashish (that's what his name in the film is, and that's what I call him though his real name is Anil) who was trembling in fear.

I told him to chill, I was like his elder brother. I knew with Madhur at the helm it would be aesthetic. Did I feel repelled? No I was okay."

Tell him lots of Indian actors have a prpblem playing gay and Samir shrugs, "See, I feel those who are homophobic would recoil from doing a gay role. But I'm extremely confident of my sexuality and had no qualms about playing gay.

From my modeling days I've had gay friends who would discuss their boyfriends with me. So I'm very comfortable with homosexuality. I think we need to get over our prudery about these things.

And archaic laws are only making things worse for gay people. They're either hiding or defiantly flaunting their homosexuality in their clothes and body language."

The revolutionary scene was dropped from the film before it went to the censors. But now Madhur Bhandarkar is having second thoughts.

Says Madhur, "What a beautifully-shot scene of intimacy it is between Samir and Anil. You forget their gender. They're just two people in love expressing their feelings.

I took it out before taking it to the censor board. I thought portraying a homosexual couple was bold enough. The kiss would have been too much. But now I'm planning to restore it in the DVD."

"Scrap Outdated Laws On Homosexuality": Says Samir.

"I am not very qualified to speak on the current controversy over the constutitional rights of homosexuals. But I do know every individual has the right to choose whom he or she wants to be with. I'm heterosexual. But I respect my gay friends and their right to live life the way they want. Playing a homosexual in Fashion I realized love has no gender."
