I remember Guddi that looked into lives of the un-credited stars of Indian Cinema. People who work like dogs and a few lucky of them get their name in tiniest possible font in the fast rolling credits that is sometimes (literally) sidelined just to accommodate some stupid item number. Unfortunately, despite of many realistic movies coming into picture their story never got a narration. Even in OSO where the lead plays role of a junior artist, under the layers of gloss and heavy buffers of overacting somewhere the importance of junior artists never surfaced.
Pardon me if I forgot any, but I don't remember when a story of an assistant director portrayed on screen. Imran Khan in IHLS tried to emulate what Punit Malhotra must have been during his stint as Assistant Director; partially if not totally. I liked IHLS for being a story of people who make movies but their names never get attention. They work as hard as the big ones, maybe even harder. When a director wins an award, he thanks a number of people who have no role in direction of his film but he always forget to mention his assistants who make his work possible. Ever wondered?
Warm regards…
