In this Subhash K Jha feature, he focusses in Paoli Dam’s powerful vendetta act on Hate Story. Paoli speaks exclusively about the film. Long before The Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri directed this interesting revenge drama released on April 20, 2012. The fascist avenging woman has always been a favourite figure of fantasy fashioning for our films. Who can forget Nargis gunning down her own son in Mehboob Khan’s Mother India?

In another great installment of This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha revisits 2007’s ghostly prem kahaani Naanu Ki Janu, which starred Abhay Deol and Patralekha. One moment can change your life. So says the film regarding our nasty habit of attending to the cell phone while driving. Oh well, read the bold, italicized writing on the wall.

Subhash K Jha, in another This Drivel That Year, looks at Lovely Singh’s Kya Love Story Hai, which released in 2007. Two of ‘hero’ Tusshar Kapoor’s sidekicks look at each other and say, “Nowadays, only Yash (Chopra) uncle has successes.” No truer words are spoken in this bogus love triangle that goes from corn to corniest with no break to feel the ache caused by every tepid take that screams fake.

Subhash K Jha shines the light on Mamta Kulkarni’s life and career in this special feature. Why did Mamta Kulkarni become untouchable for the film industry? At one time, she had the best banners (N Chandra, Salim Khan, Keshu Ramsay, Rakesh Roshan, Harmesh Malhotra, Shakti Samanta). Alas, she didn’t have the manners to go with the banners. A certain crassness was noticed in her behaviour. The industry clung to the crudity and disregarded the girl’s obvious confidence before the camera.

Hrishikesh Mukherjee loved telling the truth about people who lied. In Anand Rajesh Khanna makes up a friendship with strangers on the road pretending to have met them in fictitious encounters. In Khubsoorat Rekha circumvents Dina Pathak’s authority by sneaking fun sessions on the terrace with the oppressed family members. Hrishida later made a whole film on the art of lying Jhoothi with his favourite Rekha in the lead. Gol Maal is a very popular portrait of deception.
