Jia
Aur Jia
Jia Aur Jia is a Bollywood road film directed by Howard Rosemeyer. It
stars Richa Chaddha and Kalki Koechlin in lead roles.
Two women with starkly different personalities, sharing the same name -
Jia, embark on a life-changing journey. As the two travel together, they discover
that no matter how short life is, it still can be one big deal. This is the
first film where women are taking a road trip. The truth is that women do take
trips together, they also travel for their bachelorettes now. Girls just want
to have fun, they want to take trips together. And it’s different when it’s
just women. The teaser of Richa Chadha and Kalki Koechlin’s road movie Jia Aur
Jia is as refreshing as it’s funny. Shot in Sweden, it revolves around two
women with completely different personalities tagging along for n a road trip.
It is a women-centric drama with both Richa and Kalki playing bold roles. Kalki
plays a quirky, fun girl, while Richa’s character is strict, monitoring Kalki. Jia
Aur Jia is just the refreshing girl buddy film after the long list of Bollywood
bromances. There is also a mystery guy, played by Frank M Ahearn, who is seen
romancing Kalki’s character.
The film has Richa Chaddha, Kalki Koechlin, Arslan Goni and Frank M
Ahearn.
Rukh
Rukh (English:Stance) is an Indian drama film directed by debutant Atanu
Mukherjee. The film stars Manoj Bajpayee, Smita Tambe, Kumud Mishra and Adarsh
Gourav in the lead.
After the sudden death of his father Diwakar Mathur (Manoj Bajpayee),
young Dhruv comes back from boarding school to be with his mother Nandini
(Smita Tambe). As days go by, he begins to suspect that his father's death is
probably not an accident but a murder. Away from home in a boarding school,
18-year-old Dhruv is ignorant about the ongoing crisis in his family. His life
takes an unexpected turn as he gets the news of his father’s death in a car
accident. As he copes with the tragedy, hidden truths begin to unravel. Even as
his mother Nandini struggles to shield him, Dhruv starts looking for answers.
Was his father's death an accident or a premeditated murder? The search leads
to a series of unexpected revelations, as he discovers the shades of his
father’s personality he had never seen before. There is a murder and there are
suspects, at least in the mind of the victim’s son, Dhruv (Adarsh Gourav). His
father Diwakar (Manoj Bajpayee), a textile businessman, has been killed in a
road accident, which might be staged. Digging deep into an incident, which has
affected you emotionally, requires a different type of courage. It’s like going
through the pain all over again and, at the end of it, you may not be the same
person anymore. The movie shows the mostly angry teenager Dhruv going through a
transitional phase. He is bewildered, amazed and even shocked while his dead
father’s friends peel off layers from Diwakar’s personality. He isn’t wide eyed
but he doesn’t seem ready to take in more information either. He is probably
standing in front of the wheel of fortune hoping for something better than what
he is probably going to get. His father had secrets. This in itself is a
disturbing thought, but it’s still early to pass judgements. It’s all about the
perspective. The mother knows something and the son might not be able to
process so much so early. Though the city and its brutal elements have made him
serious for his age, the mother can’t see it. Like everyone else, the boy also
has a past which doesn’t have many pleasant memories. Unpacking your mind isn’t
as simple as unpacking the cartons in which you have kept your childhood toys. The
dimly lit metropolitan houses, the lonely streets, under-construction buildings
and isolated beaches fill you with melancholy. A man has died but it seems like
just another accident in a mega city. Such things happen. But we move on,
leaving behind a teenager waiting for closure.
The movie has Manoj Bajpayee, Adarsh Gourav, Smita Tambe and Kumud
Mishra.
The music of the film is composed by Amit Trivedi while the lyrics have
been penned by Sidhant Mago. The film has songs like "Hai Baaki" and "Khidki".
