Pak government restricts screening of Indian movies during Eid

<p>I arrived in Mumbai like legions of aspiring actors before me, and doubtless many more to come: with heady dreams of Bollywood stardom.</p>

<p>I have to admit that before moving to India, I had seen exactly one Bollywood film, and that was &ldquo;Dhoom 1&rdquo;, not exactly the height of cinematic achievement, I realise in retrospect, but I was hooked. I also (as mentioned in a previous post) had the dubious honour of singing &ldquo;Tere Liye&rdquo; from &ldquo;Prince&rdquo; at a Diwali Ball in graduate school. I didn&rsquo;t have the faintest idea what the lyrics meant, and (having been trained in opera in my youth) I sang it like Br&uuml;nnhilde. It was all very weird. When I learned that during my tenure in Mumbai, I&rsquo;d be living mere blocks away from the legendary Shahrukh Khan, I believe my words were &ldquo;Sharoo Who?&rdquo; (Oh the heresy! The naivet&eacute;!)</p>

<p>I&rsquo;ve been an avid thespian since I was 7 or so, chiefly acting in Shakespeare plays and musicals, so Bollywood &ndash; with its flair for melodrama, fondness for spectacle, and characters&rsquo; propensities for spontaneously bursting into elaborate song and dance routines &ndash; was a logical extension of my tastes. And once I got it into my head that I would portray the ing&eacute;nue in Amir Khan&rsquo;s next blockbuster (Dangal 2), I set about doing my homework.</p>

<p>I bought bootleg films in the local market and visited nearby movie stores to purchase boxed sets of Greatest Hits. I polled my coworkers for their all-time favourite Bollywood films and made a point of watching every movie they suggested [1]. A fellow Clinton fellow and Bollywood fanatic, the lovely Yasin Khan, and I teamed up to watch an Alia Bhatt flick &ldquo;together&rdquo; over Skype: her in Darjeeling, me in Chennai. Poor internet connections on both ends meant we had to re-sync our copies dozens of times, but we persevered.</p>

<p>One of my seminal experiences as a temporary Mumbaikar was patronising a matinee screening of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) [2] at the Maratha Mandir theatre. This particular venue has been showing DDLJ, perhaps the most iconic movie in Bollywood history, every. single. day. since its debut in 1995 [3]. When Katrina and I attended a showing one weekend morning in early February, I expected to find the theatre virtually empty &ndash; for who could possibly want to watch a film that&rsquo;s been running for 22 years at 11:30 am on a Sunday? To my enormous surprise, the balcony was absolutely packed to the gills with raucous moviegoers. Thus began one of the most absurd and electrifying crowd spectacles I&rsquo;ve ever experienced; indeed, it felt more reminiscent of a football game than a film screening.</p>

<p>When Kajol and SRK made their first appearances onscreen, the spectators erupted in cheers and wolf-whistles; they sang along with every song and recited large chunks of dialogue word-perfectly; at intermission they streamed out into the lobby for samosas and steaming cups of chai, chattering delightedly; and moments after the final epic train scene, when Kajol&rsquo;s dad utters the now iconic lines &ldquo;Ja Simran, ja, jee le apni zindagi!&rdquo; (&ldquo;Go Simran, go, live your life!&rdquo;), the whooping and hollering crowd almost instantaneously dispersed, leaving an eerily quiet balcony littered with samosa wrappers and paper chai cups in their wake. It was an experience as bizarre as it was delightful, and it ranks among my warmest Mumbai memories.</p>

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="javascript:void(0)">&times;</a></div>

<p>My first decisive step towards Inevitable Stardom was to enrol in Anupam Kher&rsquo;s evening acting course, thinking it might be a good way to hone my technique and make contacts in the industry. Alas, I quit after the third session: the course was conducted entirely in Hindi, and my language skills weren&rsquo;t nearly strong enough for me to grasp the finer aspects of the Stanislavski Method. I also didn&rsquo;t particularly relish the thought of spending three hours every evening for the next month pretending to be a snowflake&nbsp;[4].</p>

<p>I set about creating half a dozen online audition profiles and cold-emailing scores of casting directors. In time, all manner of bizarre audition notices began trickling in. At one point it seemed likely that I would be the face of India&rsquo;s leading deodorant brand (huzzah!), but sadly that particular career-making windfall never came to pass. There were several offers that offended my dignity: I turned down a chance to advertise razors since doing so required posing nearly nude. I was cast in a web-series as a stock western character with &ldquo;loose morals&rdquo; but I did not feel comfortable with the behaviors I would be required to portray, nor did I wish to perpetuate stereotypes about my race. My most persistent pursuer &ndash; who regaled me with dozens of emails and phone calls despite my repeated refusals &ndash; seemed quite desperate to find Western actresses willing to wear a revealing Mrs Claus costume at a gentleman&rsquo;s club in Delhi.</p>

<p>A few of my attempts to break into the Indian acting world came tantalisingly close to fruition. I was cast as a British publisher in an independent film and met personally with the director to review the script and discuss scheduling, but the filming dates kept getting postponed until finally, it was time for me to leave India. I was asked to make an emergency appearance at a Bandra studio to play a bit part in a Marathi serial, but the director never followed up with a specific location. I gave a screen test at Yash Raj Studios, to no avail. I was also invited to audition for the lead in a Niraj Pandey film (my big break at last??); but once again, the agent never provided audition details. Quite near the end of the fellowship, I joined the cast of a Hindi-language production of Macbeth (a ludicrously improbable confluence of so many things I adore), but ultimately work and family obligations took precedence.</p>

<p>At around the halfway point of the fellowship, I resolved to take matters into my own hands. Mumbai guidebooks will tell you that a Westerner hoping to serve as an extra on a Bollywood film set can often get &ldquo;scouted&rdquo; in certain touristy areas of town. I sipped countless cold coffees at the Leopold Caf&eacute; on Colaba Causeway, with my hair coiffed and a neat stack of resumes resting coyly on the table beside me. I repeatedly visited a hostel where tourists can sign up for same-day gigs and was told (much to my bafflement!) that all the studios in the city were &ldquo;shut for the season.&rdquo; I religiously attended theatrical performances all over Mumbai &ndash; at the Prithvi Theater, St. Andrew&rsquo;s Auditorium, the National Centre for the Performing Arts &ndash; in hopes of forging directorial contacts. I even tried to put up my own production of one of my favourite musicals, &ldquo;The Last Five Years,&rdquo; but was unable to cast a crucial role.</p>

<p>In the end &ndash; spoiler alert, dear friends! &ndash; I never &ldquo;made it&rdquo; in the way I had envisioned. I guess Bollywood stardom is just one of those bucket list items I&rsquo;ll have to consign to the failure pile, along with becoming a guzheng (Chinese zither) virtuoso and successfully knitting socks. Perhaps I am doomed to spend the rest of my film-watching days bitterly coveting all of Kalki Koechlin&rsquo;s roles. In the end, however, I have no regrets about my misadventurous foray into the Mumbai film world: after all, almost becoming a famous antiperspirant evangelist is something I can be proud of. And along the way, I gained firsthand insights into the sometimes frustrating, sometimes exhilarating&nbsp;and always the capricious world of Indian cinema.</p>

<p>But to end this post on a slightly more positive note: I haven&rsquo;t entirely given hope. Somewhere in the bowels of the Yash Raj media archives is a 30-second clip of me speaking terrible Hindi; so perhaps one day, Amir Khan will come to his senses and FINALLY cast me as the lead in a remake of Rang de Basanti.</p>

<br />
&quot;To express solidarity with Kashmiris the Pakistani government should be ordered to put immediate ban on exhibition of Indian movies across the country,&quot; it pleaded.<br />

The petition pleaded that in order to express solidarity with Kashmirs, the Pakistani government should immediately ban Indian movies

A petition was filed today in the Lahore High Court seeking a ban on the exhibition of Indian movies in the country till resolution of the Kashmir issue. The petition, filed by Advocate Azhar Siddique alleged that Indian forces are committing atrocities in Kashmir and the Pakistan government has allowed Indian movies to be exhibited in local cinemas and this act is not only hurting the sentiments of Kashmiris but also the Pakistanis. It said the Indian movies are opposed to Pakistan's Kashmir policy and are a 'big hurdle' in the freedom movement of Kashmiris. "To express solidarity with Kashmiris the Pakistani government should be ordered to put immediate ban on exhibition of Indian movies across the country," it pleaded. Besides, the petitioner alleged that the Indian government and other extremist organisations are threatening Pakistani actors to leave India after Uri attack, therefore the Pakistani government should respond to India in a firm manner and ban its movies. The court will fix the date of the hearing next week. (PTI)
