MADHUSHREE DUTTA ON FILM

Mumbai mayhem Still from Shrikant Agawane’s Sin City

Shrikant Agawane has made a 15-minutelong short film titled Sin City, which I recently saw. It is an extremely moody and layered tale of crime in Mumbai and its iconic status in Bollywood films. A fresh graduate of SRFTI, Shrikant is stylish in his visualisation. The entire film is treated with a bizarre green tint that makes the images of the everyday city eerie and tantalizing at the same time. The film connects the popular crime stories and the mythical dons (Haji Mastan, Dholakia brothers, Yousuf Patel) with the real locations in the city. It talks about how Morarji Desai’s prohibition policy created the hath bhatti (country liquor) dens in the creeks of Dharavi and how that inspired the character of Sher Khan (Pran) in Zanjeer.
Dutta is a documentary filmmaker. She lives in Mumbai

ASHISH RAJYADAKSHA ON FILM
I’m a huge fan of Anurag Kashyap’s work. He is a remarkable filmmaker. While I liked Dev.D, I liked Gulaal even more. Gulaal is based on a theme I’m very familiar with – feudal politics in north India. What I found amazing about the movie was how it inverted all standard truisms. It wasn’t an expose, he was trying something else entirely. While Dev.D is a more accomplished movie, Gulaal was a more operatic style of filmmaking. It transformed the representation of north India. It was an implosion of the grandeur of old India into college politics. Another film that I liked a lot was Sin City by Shrikant Agawane. It maps crime as depicted in movies and contrasts it with crime as it actually happens in Mumbai. Another documentary filmmaker I really like is Abhijit Mukul Kishore, who made a documentary on his own mother that I found quite interesting. As of now, I’m looking forward to Amar Kanwar’s next.
