Ek Film Katha unfolds like a review of a recent masala film: Gopal Datt

Gopal Dutt, an alumnus of the National Academy of Drama, began his artistic journey on stage in 1999 and was greatly influenced by the talent of theater icon BV Karanth. The actor then got a break on the big screen and he appeared in films like ‘Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai’, ‘Tere Naam’ and ‘Samrat & Co.’. And “Filmistan”. Today, he is recognized as a versatile artist and recently reunited with his first love, theater, appearing in Seema Pahwa’s Koi Baat Chale. Produced by Zee Theatre, this exciting literary anthology showcases six of his stories by the iconic author, with Gopal narrating Harishankar’s Parsa classic tale ‘Ek Film Katha’. I am.

Dutt is happy that the anthology has been translated into Kannada and Telugu and says ‘Ek Film Katha’ is a populist film with a brave hero, a suffering heroine and a protagonist who weaves one story after another. Because it is satirical, I believe it will resonate with a wide variety of audiences. A cliche villain. He strongly believes that audiences from Telangana, Andhra, his state of Pradesh and Karnataka will connect with ‘Ek Film Katha’. He says, “I know there is a trend of remaking Bollywood movies into South Indian languages ​​and vice versa. Overall, Indian movies are the same everywhere. Many typical masala movies are It has been remade in regional languages ​​without making any major changes to the plot. It is the same everywhere. So they will relate to it 100 percent.”

The story reminds him of funny Hindi films from the 1960s or 70s, he says, adding, “Even after all these years, you might not see much change in formulaic Bollywood movies. When you read “Katha,” the story unfolds as follows,” he added. This is a review of recent masala movies. It’s incredible that the stories Partai wrote in his 70s and his 80s seem to be written about today’s movies. He tells the truth and makes his readers and even himself laugh. This Is His is a story of great power that makes it timeless and relevant even today. ”

In his opinion, the younger generation of filmmakers should maintain a connection with the works of eminent writers like Harishankar Parsai. “What our films lack now is a connection to literature. Older films still had that connection, but it has been lost now. The younger generation is not aware of the great writers of Indian literature. It is very important to find that lost link. And ‘Koi Baat Chale’ is a great way to find that lost link. “This is a very good initiative to rethink the stories of great writers. Reading these will help people rediscover India’s myriad literary treasures,” he concluded.
