On October 18, 2024, India’s favorite classic, # Cult Khosla Ka Ghosla( KKG) returns to the big screen exactly after 18 years, and the film’s fans are ecstatic. With an IMDb rating stabilized at 8.2 & Rotten Tomatoes at 90%, Khosla ka Ghosla was a breakthrough film when it was released setting the tone for films rooted in reality and with humor beyond slapstick. The film’s satire and dialogues are integral to India’s collective conscience and are reflected in memes, comedian lingo, and daily conversations. Directed by #DibakarBanerjee and creatively produced by #JaideepSahni, Khosla Ka Ghosla was produced by #TandavFilmEntertainmentPvtLtd.

Summary of the film – Kamal Kishore Khosla’s land is grabbed by a thug named Khurana. In a bid to retrieve their land, Khosla’s son Cherry and his friends step in armed with a clever plan to fool the crook.

Anupam Kher (Khosla saab) admitted the film’s popularity and said about the re-release, “It is such a great feeling to know KKG is releasing again. It has achieved the status of a cult film. Wherever I go, people talk about Khosla ka Ghosla, and its lines are used as memes. I am delighted that it’s being re-released and that the audience will enjoy it all over again. A new generation will also feel the magic of the film.” Adding to the sentiment, Ranvir Shorey said, ” I am thrilled that Khosla ka Ghosla is getting a re-release almost 18 years after it was first released. I remember that the first time it was released was a difficult task for the producers because it was not a mainstream project, and getting a release was very tough. This time, when it is being released, the film is preceded by its reputation, so it is an exciting time. I am delighted that an entirely different generation will experience Khosla ka Ghosla on the big screen, and I hope everyone goes and watches it again.”

Raaj Hiremath, Director & Ceo at Tandav Film Entertainment Pvt Ltd., adds, “#Cult Khosla Ka Ghosla is back again in Theatres due to demand from the public.! The film KKG had the highest viewership on television a few years ago..! We want screen lovers to now view it with their Families & Friends.! The message is ”Bar Bar Dekho Hazaar Bar Dekho” # Cult Khosla Ka Ghosla..!”

The film’s producer, Savitaraj Hiremath, recollects her struggle to release the film, “The re-release is joyful and nostalgic for me as I remember how I began with such confidence and to my dismay realized how difficult it was to release the film. No distributor was willing to pick the film but to our delight when it finally released, it became a cult film, and became a super hit overnight..!! It was the best work by Jaideep Sahni and Dibakar Banerjee that has stood the test of time, and its dialogues and scenes have exploded on the internet. Not a day passes when I don’t come across some reference to the film. The film was made as a family with contributions from everyone, including our cast: Anupama Kher, Boman Irani, Ranvir Shorey, Tara Sharma & Parvin Dabas was immense. To have produced and released the film will always be a huge milestone in my life.”

The film’s actress Tara Sharma said, “I am so grateful to be part of a pathbreaking film Khosla Ka Ghosla…We had such fun shooting it, and the fact that 18 years later, it continues to resonate with and be loved by audiences everywhere is testimony to it’s being eternal.

Parvin Dabas says, “Land grabbing is a real menace that almost every landowner, big or small, has experienced in some way. I am thrilled it is being re-released, and I will always feel close to our excellent KKG cast, crew, and captains!

‘Chak De India’ became a bridge between the world of women athletes and the rest of the country

CineBuster Online | Updated — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 14:39:01 +0000

On the 13th anniversary of a cult ‘Chak De India’ film, writer of the movie Jaideep Sahni, speaks about the impact the film has had in cinema and society. Jaideep Sahni’s 15-year creative collaboration with Yash Raj Films’ has seen him write some brilliant hits like Bunty Aur Babli, Rocket Singh : Salesman of the Year, Shuddh Desi Romance, Aaja Nachle and the cult classic Chak De! India starring Shah Rukh Khan. On the 13th anniversary of this generation defining film, Jaideep says director Shimit Amin and him had all the creative freedom from Aditya Chopra to make this film which is now regarded as one of the best films that the industry has ever made.

“I had wanted to tell this story for a few years. So, when Adi asked me after Bunty Aur Babli what I wanted to do next, I told him that I wanted to do this film which could somehow form a bridge between the world of women athletes and the rest of the country. As I told him more about what I’d seen and felt, he agreed that it was a shame that not enough people knew about this world, and also that it could make a really great film if we got things right,” says Jaideep.

Jaideep has made a mark in Bollywood in his own right, much like director Shimit Amin who too wowed everyone with his brilliance as a visionary director. The duo was encouraged to push the content envelope by Aditya, who wanted their distinct voice and vision to shine through.

“Shimit and I have been friends since the time I was writing Company and he was editing Bhoot at Ram Gopal Varma’s office but it was Adi’s conviction after seeing Ab Tak Chhappan that he must be the director for this film. Adi’s and Shimit’s faith in the film as producer and director at that early stage was very reassuring for me since I knew my writing was going into the hands of people I trusted and respected,” says Jaideep, who like Shimit, is a complete outsider and both were handpicked and groomed by Adi because of their sheer brilliance.

Jaideep, thus, feels he has always been given a free hand at YRF which is why he has written such diverse films. He says, “5 of my scripts, all very different from each other, have been produced by YRF. These have been directed by 4 different directors. There’s something different about a studio built and run by filmmakers, which cannot be described superficially but working filmmakers understand and appreciate.”

Media has often speculated if Chak De! India was way ahead of its time from a creative vision because they feel had the film released now, it would shatter every box office record. Jaideep is happy that Chak De! India became a milestone moment in Indian cinema.

“Sometimes people call Chak De! ahead of its times but I don’t know how to judge that. It’s just that as audience we get too busy in our daily lives and forget how happy something new can make us if we give it a chance, and as storytellers, we are always under pressure to be entertaining which can impose an artificial ceiling on our choice of subjects. But subjects are always bigger than the storytellers, and if we respect them, they gently show us the way,” he says.

Interestingly, Jaideep completes 20 years in the film industry. He debuted as a writer for Jungle in 2000 for Ram Gopal Varma. He collaborated with YRF in 2005 with Bunty Aur Babli and has since then worked closely with Adi.

He says, “Well, on my first film’s set someone mistook me for the DTP operator even after seeing me every day for two months because I used to work on a computer. To witness screenwriting come back from that forgotten corner to the forefront of everyone’s attention today is the greatest satisfaction of all for us writers.”

Jaideep adds, “To have imagined and written films of different genres, set in so many different environments, with different rhythms and dialects and slangs, has been a great joy. So many of these characters, dialogues or phrases of songs having become a part of peoples’ everyday conversation is something I didn’t aim for but have finally learned to enjoy gracefully without getting shocked. But I am always conscious that this is also because of the reach of this medium, and we should not let go of any opportunity to put this clumsy power to some good use, to build a few bridges of trust or maybe start a useful conversation.”
