Anurag Kashyap: A film like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ is new in Indian cinema
The maverick director chats about his latest film, Gangs of Wasseypur, before its UK premiere at the London Indian Film Festival 2012. The film made a splash at the Cannes International Film Festival, but will it work on a larger scale?
He’s the vanguard of indie films in India. From being a fantastic scriptwriter to becoming a depressed filmmaker because his Black Friday was banned for years, Anurag Kashyap has grown to be the face of Indian cinema that stands out from the usual candyfloss, masala entertainers. He makes films that are hard-hitting and realistic and supports people who want to experiment with cinema – be it Imtiaz Ali and Rockstar, or Tigmanshu Dhulia for Paan Singh Tomar. Anurag’s latest film – a two-part, six-hour marathon called Gangs of Wasseypur – was a hot favourite at Cannes 2012 and will be the first screening at the London Indian Film Festival tonight (June 20).

As expected, the makers of the political thriller starring Abhay Deol-Emraan Hashmi are being targeted for making a sarcastic comment on the existing state-of-affairs in the country
Making a film which even briefly touches upon sensitive subjects like politics, caste-divide etc. which might evoke a public debate, gives sleepless nights to the people behind it. Black Friday, Gulaal and more recently, Aarakshan are testimony to the fact that pawns of political parties and sensation seekers wait for every opportunity to take to the streets and create nuisance.

They are just two of the several Gujarati shows on air currently that are doing extremely well
Gujarati culture came right into Indian drawing rooms with the popular television show Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka in 1999 and, after more than a decade, it is still one of the strongest flavours on the tube. Those based in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Maharashtra too abound on the small screen. Be it a weekly or a daily soap, the regional flavour is everywhere. But Gujarati shows dominate. Shows like Saath Nibhana Saathiya, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and Ram Milaayi Jodi are continuing the trend that started 13 years ago and hit a high with Baa Bahoo Aur Baby and Khichdi.

Tigmanshu Dhulia, his cast and crew deserve a standing ovation as they yet again, make it to the finishing line with a flourish

This year, the first film to do so is director Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Paan Singh Tomar. It tells the real life story of Paan Singh Tomar (Irrfan Khan), his meteoric rise as an athlete and his subsequent descent into the ravines of Chambal as just another name in the list of dacoits killed in police encounters.

Dear filmmakers who are searching for that one successful formula that can guarantee success, Kay Kay has bad news for you all…
Kay Kay Menon, who has played varied roles in films like Sarkar, Life In A…Metro and Gulaal, doesn’t conform to any particular style and says there is no formula to make a successful film. “I don’t think of trends. I do films I can give my best to and also enjoy. So, I don’t think there is any formula for making successful films. If there had been one, everyone would have been following it,” Kay Kay said.
