Hi Friends,
Miss Lovely will be rated high when we will discuss Blue Notebook in December. Ashim cracked the pot. The film's biggest achievement was perhaps beyond the performances and technical brilliance. It was more about bringing in an off beat idea in mainstream and provide decency to sleaze.
80s was a difficult time for Indian cinema. Unwanted element and bad films took over the theatres and made nuisance out of probably the most favored medium of entertainment. But at the same time, these bad films provided food and shelter to many. In fact with VHS and VCR and failing economy, these helped many remain afloat. That was the unexplored aspect.
In The Dirty Picture by Milan Luthria, in a rather passing moment this era and people working the C-grade cinema is presented. Maybe it captures only a shade of spectrum, it remains with you even after the credits. It shows us the difference between glitter and gold. However, the scene was from a certain point of view and failed to show the other side.
Miss Lovely nailed that. Probably some day, as a tribute, we will do a series or a special edition.
Love
Sujoy
