Qala - Movie Review
Directed by Anvita Dutt Guptan, and produced by Clean Slate films, Qala is a movie based on the life of a successful singer who is troubled by her past. The costumes, songs, movie sets, cars, cameras, homes practically everything in this movie transports you to the India of the late 1940s.
The movie is dark and carries a depth that keeps you in its hold during its 120 minutes of screen time. Tripti Dimri as Qala, is simply wonderful in her role – she is a girl who comes across as a subtle and soft-spoken person who you would easily ignore in a room but behind her innocence is a woman who knows what she wants and will not shy away from getting it no matter what it takes. Her mom, Urmila, played by Swastika Mukherjee is a strong presence in Qala’s life as well as on the screen. She has a domineering influence on Qala, who wants to please her mother at all costs. Mother-daughter duo belong to a family of music maestros and her mother has high expectations from Qala. Almost all the mother daughter scenes take place in their heritage home in Shimla and every frame captured here is a painting in motion. Their dimly lit home, the boat ride with a renowned music artist, scenes shot in snow that seem so peaceful yet haunting, leave an impression on the mind long after the movie gets over. Equally gorgeous is the jewellery worn by Urmila, giving us a glimpse of the Himachali culture.
This movie marks the debut of the late movie actor Imran Khan’s son Babil Khan who gives a matured and restrained performance as Jagan Batwal. The actor knows what is expected of him and even when no dialogues are said, his eyes convey pain, betrayal and the foreboding look of an impending doom.
The movie touches upon gender inequality, venomous ambitions that enslave you, abusive parent child relations, casting couch in film industry and the presence of gay men in society.
But the message most strongly conveyed is that of karma, the great force that pays you back no matter what heights you reach in your professional or personal life. You have to taste the fruit of your karma, sweet or bitter, whichever it may be. You may be frustrated, sad or depressed when you took a particular step in your life, but karma doesn’t care about your intentions or your innocence. What you give is what you will get. If not today, tomorrow.
Lastly, coming to the music by Amit Trivedi, Qala is an album with meaningful lyrics, a catchy number (who hasn’t heard of Ghode pe kyu sawaar hai?) and soulful songs that you would love to hum and listen to in your most reflective moods or as you go about your day.
Overall, the movie is a beautiful piece of art, and has an old-world charm that strikes a chord within you as all movies with good stories and direction do. Surely a must-watch!

‘Qala’ director Anvitaa Dutt on telling a mother-daughter story in the upcoming film
Anvitaa Dutt has donned a number of hats throughout her 17-year profession in Bollywood. She has written dialogues, lyrics, and screenplays for movies like Queen and Philauri, however her more moderen initiatives are the place she has discovered her calling. “I realised all the things that I’ve ever achieved was for this second,” she says about her directorial ventures Bulbbul, and the upcoming…

any recs for bollywood movies similar to fire walk with me?
hmmm. I haven't seen fire walk with me but im almost done with the first season of twin peaks + i think i understand the basic tone of that film. Based on that, I'd rec:
Qala by Anvitaa Dutt; has some problems with caste-blindness (like her other movie Bulbbul) but it came out the same year as Blonde (which many described as a failed FWWM wannabe) and was a better movie based on similar text.
Maya Memsaab by Ketan Mehta; i have NOT seen this one but I've seen clips + music videos from the movie + read reviews online and it seems very similar to FWWM. also this review lives in my mind rent-free
Edit: forgot to mention, in Maya Memsaab srk plays this young twink obsessed with the protag and from what I've heard he's very great <3

Qala Movie Review
In the Qala film, a young playback singer with the name is the leading character. The film story takes place in the early 1940s and 1930S. It is about how their sad past catches up with her as she is getting the hard-won success and makes her fall apart.
Qala Movie OTT Channel
Late Irfan Khan’s Son, Babil Khan, makes his acting in the movie. He has worked on a short film as a cameraman. The movie is a horror-thriller such as Bulbul. It was made by the same team. The OTT platform Netflix first talked about the project a year ago, and it took all the digital rights to the movie.
Qala Film Digital Rights
The horror movie Qala where the lead role is well-played by Tripti Dimri, whose performance in the movie Bulbul impressed both critics and viewers. Similar individuals who worked on Bulbul are doing the project, and that may debut directly on the Netflix platform. But the individuals who made the OTT channel have not said when it might come out yet.
Review
Karnesh Sharma’s Clean Slate Filmz is back with Anvitaa Dutt after 2020 Bulbul to continue the initiative of backing women telling women’s stories. The movie gets Tripti Dimri in the front seat with the solid support of debutant Babil Khan and Swastika Mukherjee, son of the Late Irfan Khan.
You will see a fictitious period drama about a playback singer. Qala is an unspoken path and unfamiliar in terms of relations. It goes beyond the obvious things to discover the underlying complexities of a mother-daughter relationship, a rare sight in Hindi movies. The latter has either villainized or overlooked the conflict for the gallery. Also, Qala dares to see the raw, even the ugly inside of seemingly normal relations, with a heart-aching longing and regret at the center.

Anvitaa Dutt’s second feature is all design- Cinema express
Art is aspiration. It’s also antidote. Take the films of Anvitaa Dutt, for example. The director of Bulbbul and Qala—two exquisitely imagined, beguilingly old-world recent Hindi films—started her career as a lyricist and dialogue writer with YRF and Dharma. Neal ‘n’ Nikki, Tashan, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Luck, Dostana, Kambakkht Ishq, Badmaash Company, I Hate LUV Storys, Tees Maar Khan, and Student of…
