Baartalaap: On Perspectives and Change https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31711 https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31711#respond Fri, 07 Feb 2025 02:09:52 +0000 https://rupaliparda.com/?p=31711 Filmmaker Dhruva Jyoti Bordoloi, known for films like Dooronir Nirola Poja (Home, faraway) and Kokaideu Bindaas has released a new short film titled Baartalaap. The short film is based on a conversation between two childhood friends Jhanabi and Ananta. Their meeting after a long time however takes a turn when past issues concerning Ananta’s abandonment comes into forefront while discussing about the irrelevance of the contemporary education system.

Baartalaap
Ananta’s frustration with the existing system of education lies in the fact that it is rigid and not preparing young students to meet the demands time. According to him, equipping students with a diverse set of skills should be prioritised rather than moulding everyone in the same vessel. Jhanabi, who is now a part of the system as a teacher, counters his views by sharing about the responsibilities of the system in the collective upliftment of the students who are not necessarily from well to do families.

As a teacher in a rural government school, Jhanabi’s perspective is shaped by the reality of working within the system. Therefore, she also talks about the realities of change and the challenges of changing the system from within. She also critiques Ananta’s desire to abandon and escape (as he had done previously) rather than engaging with the issue.

Baartalaap: On Perspectives and Change 10

Made under the banner of Pixelray Films, the film offers an emotional portrayal of the conflict between idealism and pragmatism. As the weight of the couple’s past lingers in the background, so too does the broader question of what it means to invest in change, whether it’s for a relationship or a broken system. The film tries to say that meaningful change takes time, and it’s not enough to simply walk away from the problem. Change requires effort, persistence, and sometimes, even a willingness to believe in it.

The cast of the film includes Jatindra Nath, Bidisha Devi, Sankar Jyoti Bhuyan, and Nihar Barman. The cinematography is credited to Brojen Baruah and Dhurva J Bordoloi and the background music is credited to Madhurja Das. The sound designing and mixing is done by Abinash Saikia. Baartalaap is written, edited, produced & directed by Dhurva J Bordoloi with Bhaskar Kaushik as assistant director.

Unveiling the Mystery: Why Mahesh Babu & Priyanka Chopra Secretly Signed an NDA? https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31693 https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31693#respond Tue, 28 Jan 2025 06:34:53 +0000 https://rupaliparda.com/?p=31693 Unveiling the Mystery: SS Rajamouli’s High-Stakes Global Adventure Film Sparks Excitement

Priyanka Chopra

Celebrated filmmaker SS Rajamouli is embarking on a new cinematic journey with a high-flying global adventure film. Known for his grand storytelling and visual brilliance, Rajamouli is ensuring that every detail of this project remains a tightly guarded secret. According to a Times Now report, the director has enforced rigorous confidentiality protocols to prevent any leaks of information about the film.

Central to these security measures is a legally binding non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that the film’s core team, including leading stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, has signed. This agreement strictly prohibits the revelation of any project details, with breaches potentially resulting in substantial financial penalties.

Priyanka Chopra

The insistence on privacy goes further with stringent on-set policies, one of which reportedly bars actors from bringing personal phones to the shooting location. Currently, the film is being shot under tight security at the Aluminium Factory on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

SS Rajamouli recently added to the intrigue by posting a mysterious image on Instagram. The photo shows him holding a passport with a lion behind bars, prompting fans to speculate about Mahesh Babu’s possible extensive travel schedule for the film.

The project, tentatively named SSMB29, has officially kicked off, creating a buzz among movie enthusiasts. Priyanka Chopra has joined the production, traveling from Toronto to Hyderabad to participate in the shoot. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu was last seen in “Guntur Kaaram,” and Rajamouli’s last directorial venture, “RRR,” featuring Jr NTR and Ram Charan, became a global sensation in 2022.

As anticipation builds for this highly-anticipated venture, fans eagerly await any hint of what’s to come from SS Rajamouli’s latest cinematic endeavor.

“চৰিত্ৰ”ৰ মুখত দিয়া সংলাপো “নাটকৰ সংলাপ” হৈ থকা নাই (সৰহ সংখ্যক অসমীয়া চিনেমাৰ এটা দোষ– সাহিত্যৰ ভাষাৰে সকলো বুজাব বা ক’ব বিছাৰে। অপৰিপাটি, দুৰ্বল সংলাপ প্ৰয়োগৰ ফলত চিত্ৰ ৰসিকৰ বাবে বিৰক্তিকৰ হৈ পৰা অসমীয়া চিনেমাৰ সংখ্যা কম নহয়।)। পৰিচালকে কাহিনীৰ গতিত, সেই খিনিতহে সংলাপ ব্যৱহাৰ কৰিছে, যি খিনিত প্ৰয়োজন, কেমেৰাৰ পৰিপাটি ব্যৱহাৰেৰে।

Epic Bollywood Showdown: Sunny Deol, Aamir Khan, and Rajinikanth Unite Against Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. in a Thrilling Independence Day Battle! https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31660 https://rupaliparda.com/archives/31660#respond Thu, 09 Jan 2025 08:30:44 +0000 https://rupaliparda.com/?p=31660 “Epic Showdown: Independence Day Box Office Battle Ignites Excitement with Star-Studded Releases!”

Aamir Khan

Independence Day is widely regarded as a prime time for film releases due to its lucrative potential. This year, Aditya Chopra has secured the release of “War 2,” starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., well in advance for the Independence Day weekend. However, a thrilling three-way box office clash is set to unfold on August 15, 2025.

Insider reports suggest that Aamir Khan is contemplating the release of “Lahore: 1947” alongside director Rajkumar Santoshi and lead actor Sunny Deol during this coveted weekend. The film celebrates India’s Independence, making August 15 an ideal release date. An official announcement is expected soon, with Aamir Khan playing an extended cameo in the film.

In addition to “Lahore: 1947,” “War 2” will face stiff competition from Lokesh Kanagaraj’s “Coolie,” a highly anticipated Tamil film starring Rajinikanth. This adds another layer of intrigue as Aamir Khan also appears in “Coolie” in a cameo role.

If plans proceed as expected, the Independence Day weekend will witness the launch of three major films: “War 2” featuring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr., “Coolie” with Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan, and “Lahore: 1947” led by Sunny Deol with a cameo by Aamir Khan. This cinematic showdown is likely to escalate the excitement in the weeks leading up to the releases.

In related news, it is reported that Hrithik Roshan will begin filming for “Krrish 4” in summer 2025, following the completion of “War 2.”

As the anticipation builds, Bollywood fans are eagerly awaiting announcements and updates on these films.
