I kissed a girl and was traumatised: Keerti Kulhari


I kissed a girl and was traumatised: Keerti KulhariKeerti Kulhari on her first gal-on-gal smooch in Bejoy Nambiar's 'Shaitan'

After playing a fairly gharelu Punjabi kudi in the madcap comedy Khichdi The Movie, Keerti Kulhari was compelled to get bold for her role in Bejoy Nambiar's Shaitan.

In the Anurag Kashyap production, she plays Tanya, a girl next-door who's part of a wild group and is compelled to lose her inhibitions.

Read on to find out how the lines between her reel and real life have blurred. Tell us about Tanya...
She is the most sober in the gang of shaitans.

How does she end up kissing another girl, Amy (played by Kalki)?
Tanya doesn't want to kiss Amy. They're playing truth and dare. Amy is a cool girl who likes to try different things. It's her turn and she 'dares' to kiss me.

How do you rate Kalki as a kisser?
It was hardly a kiss.

Is it the only time you have been kissed by a girl?
(Laughs) Yes. And it will be the last time ever.

Has any girl made a pass at you?
Yes. In Standard 10, there was a girl in my badminton team. I think she had the hots for me. Though she never said anything, the way she used to talk and give me attention, made her intentions very obvious.

She would feel very jealous if I talked to guys...

Were you told that you would have to kiss a girl?
No. Bejoy told me about everything else but the kiss. Well, he did bring it up once, but I thought he was kidding.

It wasn't until we were rolling, that Bejoy announced that the scene was on. Kalki kisses me in that scene.

Did you enjoy it?
I was traumatised. Thankfully, it was just one take. The reaction in the film was what I was actually going through at that time.

I haven't even kissed a guy onscreen. And I did my first kiss with a girl! That was an experience.

Did your co-stars tease you?
Yes, they were all teasing us after the shot. After the shot, Kalki even fooled around.

She started behaving like she had the hots for me. She tried to run her hands on my thighs. I told her to stop it and let me regain my senses. I was very amused.

How did your family react?
They were shocked. But they completely understand that it's part of the profession. They have been supportive.

What is your take homosexuality?
To each its own. I like to kiss a guy and want to be kissed by a guy, but I have nothing against people who have homosexual tendencies. I have gay friends.

Kalki Koechlin smooches a girl!

Interestingly her costar Kirti Kulhari was completely unaware of the impending kiss while the scene was being shot.

Smooches have become common phenomena in Hindi films now. But locking lips with a person from the same gender can still raise eyebrows. That's exactly what happens in Anurag Kashyap produced Shaitan where Kashyap's newly-wed wife Kalki Koechlin will be seen kissing costar Keerti Kulkari on her lips.

Anyone who has seen the trailer of Shaitan might have noticed the scene which makes a fleeting appearance in the promo. However the scene is not essentially an outcome of lesbian romance but is filmed in a more casual tone where some youngsters play truth and dare in the film.

Kalki initially thought director Bejoy Nambiar was kidding until she was actually asked to kiss costar Keerti Kulhari in the scene. However Keerti was not even informed about the scene and when Kalki planted a kiss on her lips, she was caught completely off-guard. So the expression that one gets to see in the scene is absolutely real.

Aamir Khan spooked out of his wits... flees Ragini MMS


Aamir Khan spooked out of his wits... flees Ragini MMS Did you know, Aamir Khan is scared of ghosts? And that he never watches horror films? However he had no choice but to watch Ekta Kapoor’s Ragini MMS on Tuesday evening when he dropped into a suburban theatre to check out the trailer of his Delhi Belly which is being attached to Ragini MMS.

Says a source present at the venue, “Aamir breezed into the studio before interval so he could monitor the point where the trailer was to be attached. Once he began watching he couldn’t stop. He kept telling Ekta he gets nightmares after watching horror films. But he just couldm’t stop watching. ”

Almost towards the end of the film when the goings-on got really spooky on screen Aamir fled from the scene.

Says the source, “He couldn’t take the scares anymore. He was really spooked. ”

Confirming the above incident Ekta laughed, “He was really spoooooooooked. Aamir is a true rockstaah. ”

Kissing scene with Kalki Koechlin was shocker: Kirti


Kissing scene with Kalki Koechlin was shocker: KirtiKissing is no more a taboo in Indian movies and most actors are doing it, but not for the one-film-old Kirti Kulhari because the newcomer was asked to lock lips with her co-actress Kalki Koechlin for "Shaitan". She says it shocked her.

"The kiss with Kalki in the film was quite a shocker for me because I was not prepared for that," Kirti told.

"Director Bejoy Nambiar used to joke around on the set that Kalki and Kirti will kiss, but I took it as a joke till I realized I have to do it. I was quite shocked and that's what you'll see on the screen - my shock and my real emotions coming out. It was too sudden," added the actress who made her big screen debut with "Khichdi - The Movie" last year.

Set in Mumbai, Anurag Kashyap's forthcoming production venture "Shaitan" is about evil in human beings and is full of disturbing scenes. Nambiar also roped in Rajeev Khandelwal, Gulshan Deviah, Shiv Pandit and Neil Bhoopalam for his maiden venture that revolves around five youngsters.

The kissing scene was not the only part in the film that Kirti was uncomfortable with.

"I have a lot of confidence in Bejoy as a director; so I have done a few things in the film, which otherwise I would have taken a lot of time to get comfortable with. Like wearing a bikini. I would not have done it, but considering the kind of film it is, Bejoy explained why it is important and I did it," said the 24-year-old.

"There is another back shot that suggests that my boyfriend and I are making out. Even about that I was quite apprehensive, but I knew if Bejoy is thinking something, then it will be right. So I went ahead with it," she added.

Before doing films, Kirti used to work as a model. She started her modelling career in 2007 and has done ad films for products like Videocon, Parachute hair oil and ICICI Bank.

"Shaitan" sees Kirti as Tanya Sharma, a lower middle-class girl aspiring to be a top model. But she is unable to fulfil her big dreams.

For the actress, shooting for the film, which is landing in the theatres June 10, was mentally and physically exhausting.

"I have scenes which were very tough. There is a scene where I'm being slapped and my head is being banged against the wall. In one scene, I'm lying in a pool of blood and then one is where I'm in the hospital with all bruises.

"For me, it was a very disturbing experience. Because even though you are an actor, you don't always act, there are moments when you actually feel what is happening in a scene. Many times during the shoot I cried to vent my emotions; it was very tough," she said.

Movie Review | Ragini MMS




Review: Ragini MMS

Cast: Raj Kumar, Kainaz Motivala
Director: Pawan Kripalani
When Dibakar Banerjee took a previously done concept to make Love Sex Aur Dhokha (LSD), he not only created cinematic poetry but its commercial success made its studio greedy enough to replicate the formula.

Sadly, what the studio did not realise is that unlike science, in cinema, formulas can not always be replicated. Proof - Ragini MMS, a clone between LSD, Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.

Uday (Raj Kumar) takes Ragini (Kainaz Motivala) to a secluded house rigged with cameras. He intends to shoot a sex video. What he does not know is that the house is haunted. The sexy twosome, soon turn into a murderous threesome.

There are too many things wrong with the film - the jump-cuts are often jarring, there are no subplots, it abounds in all cliches of the horror genre, though the performance of the lead pair is convincing, the others are bad, the ghost may not be wearing a white bed sheet and a candle, but her hazy, ugly witch avatar has been done to death before, the ghost is seen so much that she stops being frightening and the audio during the horror scenes is so loud that instead of the scene, it's the sound that scares etc.

Ragini MMS does not seem to be the work of one or a few creative soul, rather it looks like the handiwork of many heads trying to break creativity together that end up breaking apart the film instead.

One of the most key elements of a horror film is silence. The simplest trick in the horror filmmakers manual is to punctuate the film with lots of silent moments raising a false alarm in the minds of the viewer and striking horror when least expected. There is so much loud background noise put into the film that any sense of nuances is completely lost.

The lack of a credible back story or subplots ensures that you don't empathize with your butchered couple. Raj Kumar who almost essays the same videotaping voyeur's role he played in LSD, is underutilized and though a feeble attempt is made at the end to make you empathize with him, it's too late.

Also the concept of horror in the film is of western origin - that of pure evil. The Japanese version of horror, which is gaining currency in Hollywood after dozens of their horror films have been remade, is that of empathy for the ghost as well where the film also become a mystery, besides being a dumb slasher movie.

Also for horror films, besides a notable exception in Paranormal Activity, linear plots don't work. The unexpected twists in the story do.

Ekta Kapoor, who after landmark films like LSD and Shor In The City, has the chance to become the patron saint of creative directors, needs to remember that a director and his team is hired for their creative vision. She needs to learn to trust them for that.

Also, she needs to remember that you can copy a format and a formula, but not style and panache.

Ekta's really sweet: Kainaz Motivala

Cute and bubbly, newbie actor Kainaz Motivala appears surprisingly calm and composed for someone so young. In Paathshala, she got eyeballs as the girl who had a crush on Shahid Kapoor. In her latest film Ragini MMS, she's graduated from a character role to playing the female lead.

A Mumbai mulgi, Kainaz even worked in a magazine before she faced the camera. "Paathshaala landed on my platter just like that and since then life's been one hectic whirl. I am glad that this profession isn't monotonous — and I get to live a different character."

Her cosy scenes with her co-star Raj Kumar Yadav has her unruffled. "Raj and I are great friends and he made me feel comfortable during the love scenes." Now Kainaz wouldn't mind doing steamy scenes in other films, if the "script demands it".

Meeting Ekta Kapoor was a life changing moment for her. "I was a little guarded when I met her the first time, but she is very sweet and chilled out," says Kainaz who goes on to add that she is not "interested in doing TV shows made by Ekta. At least not yet," she says.

A trained contemporary dancer, Kainaz's short story Hope Comes In Small Packages has just hit the shelves. "For now, I am enjoying facing the camera, so even though I love to write, it will have to take a backseat for now," she grins.

Delhi's Deepika is Ekta's Ragini

Still from Ragini MMS and (R)Deepika
Still from Ragini MMS and (R)Deepika
She tried to hide it, but we managed to pull the cat out of the bag. Ekta Kapoor's forthcoming paranormal thriller Ragini MMS, which is already making news with the 'A' certificate and unrestrained sexual scenes, is based on 22-year-old Delhi girl Deepika.

Talking to Mumbai Mirror last evening, Deepika however decided to keep certain things about her a secret still. "I don't wish to reveal my surname. You can understand why. But yes, Ragini MMS is inspired by what happened to me one night when I went out with my boyfriend. I was 19 then," revealed the girl.

Like in Ekta Kapoor's forthcoming film, Deepika and her boyfriend (name withheld by request) had gone out for a weekend to a house in the outskirts of Delhi.

"The area was very dark. Somehow, I got a lot of negative vibes when I entered that place. But then when you are with a person you trust, you know how it is.

I did not pay any attention. But I was very uncomfortable throughout the night. All along, I felt somebody was watching us," said she.

After a night in each other's arms, Deepika was shocked to see the laptop they carried switched on. Her boyfriend had recorded the entire passionate interlude.

So why go with him in the first place? "I was with him for five months already. I guess we wanted to take the relationship to the next level. He suggested we go to this place his friend owned. It was our first night out."

The effect of this shocking experience remained with Deepika for almost a year after that. The girl who believes in ghosts, went on to add, "Agar kuch dikh nahi raha tha toh wahaan zaroor koi paranormal activity ho rahi thi. I felt that that the place where we went was very eerie."

No more with the guy she went on this shocking night out with, Deepika quipped, "In fact, I never met him after that incident."

While Deepika was recovering from this shocking episode in Delhi, Ekta Kapoor was toying with the idea of making a film on the MMS scandals in Mumbai. And that's exactly when Deepika's friend who works in the creative department in Balaji asked Ekta if she'd like to meet a girl who had gone through a real life MMS incident.

Grabbing the offer, Ekta met Deepika and incorporated her life story in Ragini MMS. "First I shared everything with my friend in Balaji, then I also spoke to Ekta," confirmed Deepika, who later even signed a contract with Balaji.

Deepika who is currently in Mumbai wants to see the final film. "I don't know why Ekta is not showing it to me. I am very stressed," added the girl.

"Deepika's concern is justified. We'll show her the film. But the release date is still a good eight days away. So, perhaps sometime next week," said a source from the production house.

The MMS, which led to a traumatic year in Deepika's life, however is not on the internet. A source from Balaji confirmed, "We guess she convinced her boyfriend never to do that, and he too understood her perspective."

Meanwhile...

A FEW hoardings of Ragini MMS were pulled down in the city yesterday on charges of vulgarity.

A big hoarding was pulled down near the domestic airport. Chaudhary, who was in charge of putting up the hoarding, said, "The airport authorities asked us to remove the hoarding because it was cheap."

Hours later a few residents from a colony ripped off another display near Andheri station. "They said it was too vulgar to be put up in a residential area," revealed a source. This has left Balaji very angry. An official from the production house demanded, "This is an absolute mockery of democracy. Do we not have freedom of expression here?"
