Sundari - The film, a complex human
drama, touches at many levels of our existence, focusing on greed,
exploitation and the ultimate triumph of beauty, innocence and love over the
seamy side of life. The film is based on a story by the eminent Bengali
writer Ramapada Chowdhury. Cast - Sadhu Mehar, Anita Kulkarni, Samar Jai
Singh, Vasist Tiwari and Master Amey Ambulokar. It was his debut feature
film. |
Everyday news of killing of lonely
aged people featuring at the newspaper has become a common sight . The
problem has become acute in a society where ties of family, cast and kinship
have not remained that strong. With the changing situation, the problem of
the aged in all its multifarious dimensions has raised its ugly head in the
country. This brought Gulbahar Singh's attention to the problem of the aged.
He came across a very sensitive short story which not only raised the
question on the burning issue, but also culminated into a solution the
result was Dattak, his second feature film. Cast - A. K. Hangal, Rajit
Kapoor, Kritika Desai. The film is a NFDC production. |
His film "Goal" depicts how
good spirit and strong willpower come victorious . A boy, a sportsman, with
real sporting gestures towards life comes out victorious against all
odds posed against him and in the hard cruel game of life, scores goals. The
touchy expressions of joy when life comes out victorious make the audience
emotional. |
Displacement in the name of
progress leads to uprooting - this has become a world phenomena. The
perennial question that arises in this case is that where finally these
uprooted people will find a base. This surely marginalizes them in to a society. The backdrop of this situation lead the director to a beautiful
story written by Sree Yadabendra Sharma 'Chander', a Rajasthani writer. A
tiny element in this story influenced me to elaborate it into my story "Abaidha
- The Demolition Man" where the protagonist of the story eventually finds
himself in the same situation as displaced when he discovers his wife
is having affair with another man. He considers this possession of his wife
as illegal and leaves her for good. This is a Sunrise Media and Effects Pvt.
Ltd. production. Cast - Chiranjit, Debasree Roy, Rajit Kapoor, Sumitra
Mukherjee, Dulal Lahiri, Monu Mukherjee, Manjusree, Chandan Sen, Joy
Sengupta & others. |
Gulbahar Singh has been
instrumental in vividly capturing our life, human relations, our traditions, our heritage and
our culture through his lens over the years, the result of which are the
series of great qualitative feature films, documentaries and TV productions. |
