A lot of people didn’t know a film like Chup even existed-R Balki
8:34 AM
Posted by Fenil Seta

Niharika Lal (BOMBAY TIMES; November 25, 2022)
Known for films such as Cheeni Kum, Ki And Ka and Pad Man, R Balki gave a masterclass on the topic ‘Negotiating Aesthetics and Economics’ at IFFI (International Film Festival of India) 2022.
‘A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW MY FILM CHUP EXISTED’
Balki said that a lot of films that fail at the box office or do not do well is because people don’t know about those films. He said, “We, in the creative world, tend to live in a bubble. A lot of people didn’t know a film like Chup even existed, and I thought it had free shows and it was great. A lot of my friends whom I met after years asked me, ‘So, what are you doing next?’, and I said I just did Chup, and they asked, ‘What is that?’ I was shocked and stunned. It didn’t reach people. Whether you like or not is different, you don’t even know about it then it is a problem.”
While word of mouth publicity gets a lot of credit for several films, Balki said he hates this cliche. “Word of mouth is mythical. I wonder how it happens? People watch the film and go and tell everyone to watch it? No. It has to be worked out in a manner so that there is already excitement around the project and all they need is a little nudge to go and watch the film. I feel a lot of creativity suffers because of a lack of science. I feel there has to be a scientific process behind word of mouth to be generated,” he added.
‘I DON’T THINK WE HAVE FOUND THE SCIENCE TO MARKET OUR FILMS’
Balki said that Bollywood doesn’t have a marketing mechanism. Not minicing his words, he expressed, “The marketing strategy is somebody is creating controversy, somebody is sleeping with someone, create some boycott, some ban. I don’t think we have found the science to market our films and a lot of creative people suffer because of it. Enough investment has not gone into developing how to market films and it is really very sad. So many people are pumping in huge bucks and yet the returns are so less.”
“If you are making 100 films and 90 of them do not make money, then there is definitely something wrong with the industry. There are pundits in this industry – producer pundit, director pundit, writer pundit, trade pundit and media pundits, and they all fall flat. They fall flat and they move on with the next theory without learning a thing. There are fantastic marketing people in cinema, but somehow when they get into this zone then their entire reading of data starts sounding outdated,” he added.
Balki further said that there is no formula for how films work. “It depends upon who does what. You can’t say the audience wants it. No, the audience wants damn good work. Who doesn’t want to see a good film, song or stars saying their best lines? But we all fall flat in understanding the theory without understanding the execution,” he added.
‘SHAH RUKH IS ONE OF THE MOST CLEVER PEOPLE IN INDIAN CINEMA’
Balki said that the stars are making one fundamental mistake that they are getting caught up in the producers’ money making machine. He said, “(They think) If I want to charge this amount then I have to do this kind of work and only then will I be able to recover the money. A lot of smaller ideas could have become bigger if bigger stars would have invested in them. Some stars have experimented and have fallen flat and have chosen to not experiment again while some stars have gone for tried and tested formulas.”
He said that Kamal Haasan experimented in the 80s with films like Sadma. Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, he said, “Shah Rukh has done Dear Zindagi. He also experimented with Swades and Paheli. If those films had worked, it would have taken a different turn. He is one of the most intelligent people in Indian cinema.”
This is my time to fly as an actor and not struggle to keep an image alive-Sunny Deol

Rachana Dubey (BOMBAY TIMES; November 10, 2022)
It’s been a long run at the cinemas for Sunny Deol, who made his debut with Betaab in 1984. Among the many projects, he is currently working on are the sequel to Gadar and Apne 2, which will see him sharing screen space with son Karan along with father, Dharmendra and brother Bobby. The actor is now in a new phase of his career, where the story and screenplay matter more than a larger-than-life presentation of him on screen. In a conversation with BT, the actor talks about breaking stereotypes attached to his name, the 2. 0 version of his career and why Apne 2 is the most special film of his life. Excerpts:
Last year, you had expressed that you now want to work on multiple projects simultaneously. Have you been able to keep up with that?
I’m actually doing quite a lot of films right now. In fact, I have projects releasing in theatres, and there’s something interesting for the digital format, too. Some of my movies are already on floors, a few will roll out in a few months, and my content for the digital platforms is being worked on. I think that you have to give the audience different kinds of content instead of dishing out the same thing repeatedly, hoping this is what they want to see.
Surya, Baap, Apne 2, Gadar 2 and a set of projects with R Balki after Chup indicate that you’re exploring a variety of roles instead of the tried and tested ones…
(Cuts in…) R Balki’s films have unique worlds where I know I can work differently and do something distinct with my characters. The characters he creates, like the one in Chup, are not typical, larger-than-life breed of roles that I am offered all the time. They have a certain kind of layering. Balki has narrated a couple of projects to me after Chup, which I have loved, and I want to work with him on some of those because I have loved his style of ideation.
Your project Baap, which is an Indian spin on The Expendables, will see you reuniting with your colleagues Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff, while Apne 2 will feature many members of the Deol family. This must be an exciting and fun time on sets for you...
I love the idea of a film like Baap. It’s one of those films that not only features my colleagues from the ’80s, but it also has a unique story revolving around friendships and emotions; it brings back something from the bygone era and mixes it with new-age ideas. As for Apne 2 and Gadar 2, I was clear that unless we have something that could match the emotional quotient of the originals, we won’t go ahead with them. Apne 2 literally features almost all the Deol men. My whole family is in it. I didn’t want the writing to falter. I can now say that it has shaped up well. With the four of us in the same film, Apne 2 is one of the most special movies of my life. As for Gadar 2, we wanted a story that could emotionally be at par with Gadar. Gadar’s Tara Singh was not about pump ukhadna and chillana. It was a family’s struggle to fight divisive forces and be together. It had the ingredients of a great family film. We embarked on Gadar 2 only when we were sure we had something promising to take the legacy forward. It was a huge challenge to create something as good and live up to its name. I hope we have managed that.
Now that you don’t feel the pressure to continuously do larger-than-life breed of roles, like you mentioned earlier, do you feel creatively liberated?
I do feel that this is the most liberating phase of my career, and more so because of the digital world that has opened up, where you can make what you want and base your decisions on the strength and depth of a screenplay and story. You can play characters that you’ve never played, display a lot of detailing and layering in your performances and do what makes you happy as an artiste, without any box-office pressures. I feel that at one point in my life, I was typecast so much that my dhai kilo ka haath and my big action image overshadowed the characters and what they were meant to do in a film. But now, I can explore so much more. This is my time to fly as an actor and not struggle to keep an image alive. I am thankful for everything I’ve had, and I look forward to so many new experiences, roles, films and journeys, which will help me dive deep into my own emotions and enhance my understanding of life and cinema.
It was beautiful to sit in front of someone who trashed you, and start murdering him on paper-R Balki

With Chup revolving around reviewers being killed, director Balki explains why he roped in one of his harshest critics to co-write the film
Mohar Basu (MID-DAY; September 28, 2022)
R Balki remembers that one of the early reviews of his directorial debut 'Cheeni Kum' (2007) was so scathing that he stopped reading them altogether. It’s almost his way of delivering poetic justice that in his latest film 'Chup: Revenge of the Artist', a serial killer attacks movie critics. “How can it be such an unfair world where someone can write something and get away with it? It is sometimes agenda-based. I thought of this story in 2010,” he begins.
Even as he sat down to write the script of the Sunny Deol, Pooja Bhatt, Dulquer Salmaan and Shreya Dhanwanthary starrer, the filmmaker knew it had to be a balanced narrative. He didn’t think twice about reaching out to film critic Raja Sen.
“Rishi [Virmani, writer] and I discussed that it’d be nice to have an outside perspective on it. I had not read Raja’s reviews until then. When I called him, he was blown by the idea. I took two days and read everything that has ever been written about me. I discovered that Raja has trashed me the most. It was beautiful to sit in front of someone who trashed you, and start murdering him on paper,” he laughs.
Balki believes the purpose of getting a film critic on board was served, as the movie argues both sides of the case. “I didn’t want to make it from a filmmaker’s point of view alone. What the other side thinks needed to be included as well. Raja gave me insight into what critics feel when they are critiquing.” The intention behind the thriller was to evoke respect for cinema, adds the director.
“As an audience, they have the agency to say what they feel. But a critic is supposed to be sensitive to the art, and guide people to understand the conversation the film is trying to have. He is not the judge.”
After success of National Cinema Day, tickets to be available for Rs. 100 this week

As cinema owners reduce ticket rates again, industry experts explain the reason behind slashed prices and the way forward
Rishabh Suri (HINDUSTAN TIMES; September 27, 2022)
On National Cinema Day (September 23), movie buffs thronged cinema halls, as the tickets were modestly priced at Rs. 75. From Brahmastra being sold out in almost all theatres, to Chup: Revenge Of The Artist and Dhoka Round D Corner, every film benefited. Now, to mark the festive period, film tickets will be priced at ₹100 till September 29.
TEST THE WATERS
Rajender Singh Jyala, chief programming officer, INOX Leisure, tells us, “After a positive response to the Rs. 75 plan, we thought of experimenting some more. We wanted to see if lower ticket prices get the same response again or if it was just a one-day phenomenon. If it gets the same kind of response, we can discuss about this (low ticket rates) with the stakeholders.”
Films such as Chup: Revenge Of The Artist managed to rake in the moolah due to the cheap pricing, says director R Balki: “It doesn’t immediately position itself as a mass film. The Rs. 75 pricing opened us up to the fact that so many people want to come to the theatres; it’s only the high ticket prices that keep them away.”
PEOPLE VS PRICES
The focus should be on getting more people to the theatres, than just making one ticket expensive, feels exhibitor Akshaye Rathi. “I hope the movie-going business can go back to being more accessible,” he shares.
FESTIVE HIKE
The festive period is usually accompanied by hiked ticket prices, as big films usually release around this time. So, why reduce the prices? Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says it’s because people are in the mood to spend during this time. “They travel, shop and watch films. When you keep ticket for as low as Rs. 75 and Rs. 100 on weekdays, it’s a great idea.”
What cannot be missed is the fact that the ticket prices have only been reduced until September 29, so two big films that release on September 30 — actors Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s Vikram Vedha and filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: I (PS 1) — will not be available for Rs. 100 per ticket.
Jyala emphasises that producers feel if the budget of a film is high and the ticket prices are low, the recovery won’t happen: “Hence, Vikram Vedha and PS 1 will play at a regular price.”
-----------------------------------
After the success of National Cinema Day, some cinemas are selling tickets for as low as Rs. 100 as a special Navratri offer, and some are planning to experiment with an affordable ticket pricing model in the future too
Niharika Lal (BOMBAY TIMES; September 28, 2022)
“Would you go to watch more films at cinemas if tickets cost less?” – when we asked moviegoers this, almost all of them responded positively. And guess what? Multiplexes are listening and hence it was not just on last Friday (National Cinema Day) when tickets cost only Rs. 75 or this week when all films playing in theatres will cost you only Rs. 100 (offer lasts till Thursday), but cinemas are planning to experiment with an affordable pricing model in the long run.
‘LOT OF EXPERIMENTATION BEING DONE BY CINEMA OPERATORS’
Following the two-year hiatus due to the pandemic and later due to high ticket prices, when moviegoers registered a record of over 65 lakh consumers in a day on National Cinema Day, it led to discussions on lowering average ticket prices and hence the experimenting phase in cinemas has begun.
Kamal Gianchandani, President, Multiplex Association of India (MAI), says, “There is a lot of experimentation being done by various cinema operators at this point. Disney, Dharma and other studios, who have films playing in theatres, have been very supportive in this regard. We are constantly listening to our customers and other stakeholders of the business. We have always taken ticket pricing and other similar decisions keeping the interest of consumers and all stakeholders in mind. We will continue to do so in the future.”
100, 112, 120, OR 150 – CINEMAS TO DECIDE ON KEEPING THE TICKET PRICE LOW
Rajender Singh Jyala, Chief Programming Officer, INOX Leisure Ltd, says, “This week is an experiment to see if people will come on weekdays at this price. After Thursday once the numbers are in, we will analyze it and decide our next step.”
Does this mean that cinemas will continue to keep lower prices? “Yes, we are experimenting with this. Will it be 112 or 120 or 150 and so on that’s what we will decide. But 75 and 100 are too low to sustain. Big budget films will not be able to recover with this price,” he adds.
NO DISCUSSIONS WITH BIG BUDGET FILMS ON KEEPING 100 SLAB
Recently, when Mani Ratnam visited cinemas for an event, it was reported that there was a discussion on keeping tickets for Rs. 100 only for his upcoming release Ponniyin Selvan: I. However, Gianchandani has denied this.
He says, “This is not true. There has been no such request from Mani Ratnam. He is fully supportive of all ticket pricing-related initiatives that are being taken by the cinema operators.”
Similarly, there were other reports saying that the makers of another upcoming release Vikram Vedha have suggested the same but Jyala says that there has been no such discussion with the makers of this film.

(Crisp) Movie Review: CHUP by FENIL SETA

Chup is not just another serial killer film. It tells the story of a psychopath who kills film critics! This unique story along with R Balki’s execution makes for a great watch. There are some very interesting comic and thrilling sequences which will give you your money’s worth. At the same time, it raises some interesting points about the idea of film criticism. Sadly, the film is a bit slow and the investigation track is unconvincing. The finale could have been better. Speaking of performances, Sunny Deol, in a supporting role, is quite good. He is apt for the part and goes massy in one scene, which would be loved by the audience. Dulquer Salmaan is terrific and it's good to see him in another power-packed performance after Sita Ramam. Shreya Dhanwanthary leaves a huge mark and contributes a lot to the film with her presence. Pooja Bhatt is strictly okay. Saranya Ponvannan is lovely. Rajeev Ravindranathan (Inspector Shetty) is a bit over the top. Amitabh Bachchan is damn good in a cameo. The background score, especially the instrumental tune of the song ‘Jaane Kya Tune Kahi’ is haunting and will keep lingering in your mind. All in all, Chup is a gripping thriller. It’ll not just ignite discussions about film criticism but also introduce the youngsters to the greatness of Guru Dutt’s cinema. Chup will do to Kaagaz Ke Phool what Ludo did to the song ‘O Beta Ji’.

NATIONAL CINEMA DAY CELEBRATIONS TO BOOST COLLECTIONS OF NEW AND HOLDOVER RELEASES
The Multiplex Association of India (MAI) has decided to celebrate National Cinema Day tomorrow, that is, Friday, September 23. As part of these celebrations, most of the multiplex chains will sell tickets for just Rs. 75. The tickets for the IMAX and 4DX versions will be available for only Rs. 150. The advance booking for tomorrow began on Tuesday, September 20, and the response has been fabulous. Brahmastra is the first choice and its shows are fast-filling or sold out. Surprisingly, even holdover releases like Sita Ramam, the Marathi film Boyz 3 and the Gujarati film Fakt Mahilao Maate have also managed to get a good response. And obviously, the new releases, too, are at an advantage. My analysis of the new releases:
1. CHUP: It is directed by R Balki and stars Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salmaan, Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Bhatt. The film has been noticed due to the Guru Dutt element and also because it’s the story of a serial killer who kills film critics! The film looks niche but the marketing strategies have enhanced the hype. For instance, the makers held a free preview for aam junta in 10 cities on a Tuesday, 3 days before the actual release and one day before the press show. The response to these shows has been positive. Surprisingly, its advance booking has been solid and is the second preference for moviegoers after Brahmastra. As a result, its day 1 is expected to be Rs. 4 crores and might even cross the Rs. 5 crores mark. However, with so many people watching the film tomorrow, there’s a fear that the collections will be very low on days 2 and 3. But if the word of mouth is strong, the film can excel in the long run.
2. DHOKHA ROUND D CORNER: It marks the debut of Khushalii Kumar, Bhushan Kumar’s sister, and also stars R Madhavan, Darshan Kumaar and Aparshakti Khurana. It is the story of a terrorist who takes a woman hostage in her flat, not realizing that she’s not mentally well. The trailer is intriguing but the buzz for the film is limited. Yet again, it has become lucky due to the National Cinema Day offer. It’s expected to open around Rs. 2-3 crores.
3. AVATAR: The 2009 classic film is re-releasing tomorrow so that audiences can refresh their memory before they watch the sequel, which will be released in December this year. It was a much-loved film and deserves a big screen watch. Many didn’t see it when it was released the first time and few were not even born then. Due to these reasons and the offer, Avatar is expected to have around 75% occupancy in 3D versions and almost 100% occupancy in IMAX screens tomorrow. It can lead to an opening of Rs. 2-3 crores or even higher.
4. PREM GEET 3: This is the first Nepali film, which has been dubbed in Hindi. The first two parts of Prem Geet had a different story and were set in the present-day era. Prem Geet 3, meanwhile, is a period film. It has limited shows and is fast-filling, again due to the audience's hunger to watch a film at Rs. 75.
Lastly, there’s Babli Bouncer, starring Tamannaah Bhatia and directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. It’s an original Disney+ Hotstar film and would be released on their platform tomorrow. The plot is impressive and can make for a nice family watch, if made well. Due to Disney+ Hotstar’s wide subscriber base, it’ll definitely get a lot of views.

Dulquer Salmaan breaks silence on Salute's OTT release after Kerala exhibitors boycott him

Posted by Fenil Seta

After Kerala exhibitors boycott him for taking digital route with Salute, Dulquer says backlog of theatrical releases led to the decision
Uma Ramasubramanian (MID-DAY; March 22, 2022)
The release of one’s passion project should be a reason to rejoice. But Dulquer Salmaan, whose production Salute dropped on Sony LIV over the weekend, finds himself in a quandary. The investigative thriller was initially slated to hit theatres on January 14, but had to be deferred due to the third wave of the Coronavirus pandemic. The actor-producer then decided to take the OTT route — a move that has irked the Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK). As a result, the FEUOK has decided to boycott Salmaan’s upcoming movies.
“I understand where they are coming from. These are peculiar times because of the lockdown and COVID-19. Amid this, OTT platforms have become popular,” begins Salmaan.
While the actor’s last two releases Kurup (2021) and Hey Sinamika hit the marquee, he reasons that a digital premiere appeared to be a prudent move for Salute. “A large volume of films is awaiting release. Most films are getting a window of one or two weeks before the next movie [hits the marquee]. Right now, it’s a phase of transition before we reach normalcy. So, we will have to choose the films that can go to theatres, and the ones for OTT. Over time, the balance [will be restored]. I only have goodwill towards theatre owners. There is no bigger excitement than releasing a movie in cinema halls.” The decision will reportedly be presented in the FEUOK’s general meeting by the month-end.
Director Rosshan Andrrews’ Malayalam film sees Salmaan as a cop who is hell-bent on getting to the bottom of a case, while being tailed by his colleagues. “I wasn’t seeking a cop role, but when this came my way, I wanted to do it. It felt rooted,” he says.
Up next, he has R Balki’s Chup, which sees him return to Hindi cinema after three years. Though happy to juggle Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi films, Salmaan doesn’t take the label of pan-India actor too seriously. “I don’t understand the term. A film travels on its own merit. I don’t know if we should package a film such that it matches the sensibilities of [the audience] across the country. I just go by the script. I want to keep surprising my audience.”
I have to be fair to my younger sister Alia, who is the better version of me-Pooja Bhatt

Onkar Kulkarni (BOMBAY TIMES; January 22, 2022)
Though Sadak 2, which had released digitally in 2020, had glimpses of Pooja Bhatt from Sadak (1991), R Balki’s film, Chup - Revenge Of The Artist, will mark her return to the big screen. The psychological thriller also features Sunny Deol, Dulquer Salman and Shreya Dhanwanthary. Last year, Pooja came into the spotlight for her performance in her digital show, Bombay Begums, and she is now keen to play strong, pivotal parts in her future projects.
The actress, who assisted her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, on Sadak 2, says that she had no plans to return to acting back then. However, her role in the digital show has enthused her to face the camera once again. “I feel privileged that I could play my age on screen in this youth-obsessed world and industry. Otherwise, who gets to play such strong characters at 49? I must say, times are changing,” says Pooja, adding, “I feel this is the best time for actors of all shapes, sizes, ages and backgrounds. Today, there are far more opportunities than in the ’90s when a hero and a heroine had to look and be a certain way. Conventional Bollywood was obsessed with youth, but OTT has wiped that out. With the digital medium, there’s a new language we speak, and Bollywood needs to catch up with it.”
Talking about how she wants her second innings as an actor to shape up, she shares, “Bombay Begums was a perfect fit for me. After that, I wasn’t really looking desperately for new projects. Then this new film just came my way. I am not here to hope, plot and plan. I am here to respond to what comes my way. I am just looking to have unique experiences here. I want to learn new things, improve, grow and push my limits. I am not looking to be in a comfort zone. I am glad that in a short span, I got to do a web show and the film.”
Excited to team up with Balki, Pooja says, “He’s a fantastic director. I liked his film Cheeni Kum. One knows of Balki and the kind of work he has created in the world of advertising. He is known for his details and aesthetics, and he has a different kind of gaze. So, when this project came to me, saying yes was a no brainer.”
Remind Pooja that she has returned to the industry at a time when her sister Alia is among the top actresses, and she says, “Well, this will require a whole different discussion because I can’t sum up Alia Bhatt’s career in two sentences. I have to be fair to my younger sister, who is the better version of me. I can’t speak about her work in films in a few lines.”
