tolly lights
tolly lights esteemed director a chakraborty brings the famous novel “rangeen prithibi” to vivid life in this bengali feature film .
this bengali movie is about tollywood stars struggling to get a break in tollywood movies. featuring their crushed dreams, aspiration to get to the top of the list, by hook or by crook, tolly lights is story that has drama, emotions, sensuality, betrayal and deception .
tolly lights is a drama, social bengali movie, directed by arjun chakraborty, starring arjun chakraborty, sreelekha mitra, arindam seal, biswajit chakraborty along with others. tolly lights story goes like this: there are two stories which run parallel. the one story is of abhimanyu, a wannabe film - director, and the second story is of krishnakali, a happy home maker, lured in to the world of films. it was krishnakali' s husband jayanta, who initially instigated his wife to join the films and later struggled here, on the movie page, you will find every thing that you need to know. check out what others are saying about the movie on twitter .
he has established himself as a singer by cutting nine albums. he has written a novel in bengali. he has directed a film named tolly lights and is gearing up for his next directorial venture. having worked in more than hundred films, he wants to pursue his passion to do something for rajasthan. he thinks rajasthani is his mother tongue. his bharavi thumri vocal performance has been widely appreciated. kaushik chattapadhyay caught up with him at the sidelines of his performance .
“in making tolly lights, i wanted to ensure that at no stage did it seem like a ‘staged’ film. in my opinion, a good - looking film – one that involves top - quality cinematographers, art directors, and lighting technicians – is not the same as a good film. taking on top - of - the - line crew and coming up with a beautiful – but unrealistic – film is not the reason i am in the business, and i made sure tolly lights had a healthy dose of reality, of the kind that bites. plenty of people asked me things like, “why is your heroine so plump? ” my answer was always, “because she is sreelekha mitra playing a helpless housewife and a reluctant celebrity, not aishwarya rai. ” i’ve been associated with the bengali film industry long enough to know exactly how my co - stars look, act, and dress depending on the occasion. so when sreelekha, lying on her hospital bed, turns away from
i would turn to tolly lights, not merely because it was his debut feature film as director, but also because he had made a film that he was proud of, and had assumed that anyone who watched the films in which he acted would automatically want to watch a film that he has directed. he now realises that he was perhaps misguided in so thinking, and ought to have taken the conventional route – called a press conference, and done significant groundwork in explaining what his film was all about. later, when he found reviewers criticising his film without any real logic to support their criticism, he realised that they had missed his point altogether. so here’s what he want to say to them…
“in tolly lights, the protagonist abhimanyu is unpolluted, and uncorrupted, just like people from the hills, where he comes from. i wanted to concentrate on realistic details like the look of abhimanyu’s flat (bare and stark because it’s a borrowed and hence temporary dwelling and bears no imprint of abhi’s personality), or the difference in the look of the bedroom before and after krishnakali is forced to leave her husband and son, or the extreme oppressiveness of the hovel that geeta dey’s character lives in. once the film released, i was really taken aback when not a single review mentioned these aspects, not even the flattering ones. and just by the way, if a review is flattering without giving any reason why, it is as meaningless to me as an illogically negative one. ”
“gulzaar saab gave tolly lights 11. 5 out of 10, which more than made up for the lack of comprehension i noticed in many people. and colleagues like mithun chakraborty, swapan saha and sunny deol made guest appearances free of cost. in fact, sunny’s father dharmendraji asked me to shoot my scene with sunny inside his (dharamji’s) pajero, which nobody is supposed to have access to. even sunny was surprised when he learnt about it. and as sunny and i shared a laugh over the whole thing, i kept thinking back to the time when, as a college student in udaipur, rajasthan, i was the only one in my class who didn’t turn up to watch dharamji shoot at a nearby location, because i was too proud to do so. when i told dharamji this story many years later, he laughed forever. ”
sreelekha mitra is on a high. shes all over tv playing wife to saif ali khan in a lays ad, four years after becoming aamir khans bangali bou in a coke commercial .
it was great working with aamir; with saif it was more fun. saif is like most of his screen characters  funny and always cracking jokes. he told me  aami ektu ektu bangla bolte pari ... he liked my attitude to work and asked me to work more in bollywood!  gushes sreelekha, who got a call from parineeta maker pradeep sarkar to do the ad. i had done the coke ad with him. pradeep da is very fond of me and i respect him a lot... . we shot for two days in bangkok. 
back home, sreelekha is looking forward to arjun chakrabortys directorial debut tollylights, where she plays screen sizzler krishnakali. and if the posters are anything to go by, sreelekha is too hot to handle .
the picture that shows me hugging a man is a poster shot and i was wearing a backless top. its no big deal! nowadays, we see so many women wearing off - shoulder tops on city streets. i too wear such clothes off - screen. and i dont mind shedding clothes for meaty roles,  smiles sreelekha .
tollylights focuses on krishnakalis trials and tribulations. she goes through a lot to be an actress. and then one day her reel and real lives merge; they become one. im not going to reveal more... . i knew the script needed me to do some bold scenes. arjun had told me before we started shooting. but the film is for everyone; its not an adult film with steamy scenes only. 
the backless poster shot is not all; sreelekha even soaks in a bathtub. though it looks daring, i was very comfortable as i was wearing a sari! the scene was necessary to depict krishnakalis loneliness. and not just me, my family didnt have any problem either. i had done much more in kantataar (read, foreplay and lovemaking). as an artiste i shouldnt have inhibitions,  says miss bold & beautiful .
the comedy of errors starring prosenjit, arunima and pauli has entered the second week, riding the semi - urban crowd .
directorspeak: the film upholds middle - class values,  says basu chatterjee .
we liked: chatterjees signature cine comedy — creating humour out of everyday situations .
we didnt like: the slow pace and storyline (its a rehashed plot with bits and pieces from chatterjees earlier films) .
just like any other swapan saha film, this is picking up with word - of - mouth publicity from week two .
actorspeak: its very much a swapan da film,  says main man priyanshu .
we liked: hot bod priyanshu and his hot item number with rituparna sengupta. also, the pretty priyanka trivedi .
we didnt like: the same ol love - and - revenge saga of an angry young man and the accompanying melodrama .
a spate of holly releases has knocked out arjun chakrabortys directorial debut from most plexes. one show at inox (city centre) is all its got .
directorspeak:  tollylights is for all kinds of audiences — the masses and the classes,  says arjun .
we didnt like: sreelekha mitra in western outfits and her raunchy act in chalo kheli aaj love game .
the first film to roll out of swapan sahas factory in 2008 has crossed seven weeks. cheers !
producerspeak: we expected better collection in the fifth week, but jor has done better than the other jeet films released recently,  says raju das of t. sarkar productions .
we liked: jeets brawn and varsha priyadarshinis beauty. the colourful outdoors that are a relief from the drab tollygunge studios .
we didnt like: the meandering storyline thats so difficult to keep track of .

arjun chakraborty was born and brought up in a hamlet called malsisar in the jhunjunu district of rajasthan. he grew up unlike any other city boy, playing gilli–danda, flying kites, chasing puppies and riding camels, and horses. for his higher studies, he went to udaipur. he wanted to become a filmmaker. he went to bombay and joined the renowned lyricist and filmmaker gulzar as an assistant director. with him, he worked in films like namkeen, angur, libaas. he was introduced to k. balachandar by gulzar who gave him a pivotal role in his hindi venture (zaraa si zindagi) along with kamal hassan and anita raj. he had earlier done a small role with sanjeev kumar in angur. after zaara si zindagi, ankush by n. chandra came where he was pitted against nana patekar. ankush was a huge hit. he worked as an actor in mrinal sen’s ek din achanak with shabana azmi. apart from k. balachandar, n. chandra and gulzar, he worked with many renowned directors like tapan sinha, sandip ray, nabendu chatterjee and the list goes on .
to give his career in kolkata a physical mooring, i must begin with his departure from mumbai. after ankush (which he feels set the trend for every ‘young rebellion’ film in india including rang de basanti), he was jobless for six months, which may not seem an unusual thing in itself for a young actor, but he had no one to get behind him and say, “fight on, i’ll handle the fall. ” in other words, he had no godfather, and more importantly, no camp (or association, or organisation, or group) to which he belonged .
but such considerations are secondary in the mumbai film world, where an individual who evidently does not wish to belong to any ‘camp’ is still viewed with deep suspicion. so he made his way to kolkata – not home then, but home - to - be .
barun chanda, you know she can’t really turn away from him because she has nowhere to go. no matter how independent we think our women are, the sad truth is they still need to depend on a man in certain situations. and i was determined to show things as i saw them, rather than follow a particular ‘school’ of filmmaking. the idea was to break away from the mould because i had had enough of imitative work. ”
“cinema is a director’s medium, and i may have taken my time to arrive as one, but now that i have, i fully intend to go on. having said that, i have to add that i am a compulsive actor, though my aim has always been to add the x - factor to my acting, to make it look like non - acting. i’m sure there’s a technical term for it somewhere, but i don’t want to go there. and yes, the one other thing i will dedicatedly pursue is music. right now, swagatalakshmi (dasgupta) is teaching me the nuances of rabindra sangeet, and she has been courageous enough to feature in an album with me. i also have 13 solo albums of rabindra sangeet out already, and music is one area of my life where i am ready to promote myself shamelessly, something that i’ve never done for my film roles. but i have to have music in my life, the more the better. ”
