“frankly speaking, i don’t know when the film will be released because finding investor for a clean bhojpuri film is really tough. if i had item girls showing their skin and double - meaning crass dialogues, it was a cakewalk for me to release ‘deswa’, ” he said and added: “i will wait” .

the much awaited bhojpuri film
deswa
is set to be released in feb 2012. this movie is directed by nitin chandra and produced by neetu chandra. the film revolves around the lives of three young men from bihar and various dead ends in their lives that lead them towards a life of crime. music exclusively only on t - series. subscribe here for more updates & see latest videos: urltoken
deswa is the story of rajiv, an idealist school teacher in a village in bihar, and shankar, a meritorious student from a poor family. rajiv has cleared the upsc exams but could not get the job. his family is in dire straits to arrange the 15 lakh rupees for the dowry of his younger sister. he is in love with seema, a colleague from the school but is unable to marry her because of his financial condition .
though we were told that the film was simultaneously made in two languages, this looks like a hindi dub of the original bhojpuri film called deswa (2011). the social drama intends to make people across the country empathize with the bihari youth, because of the lack of opportunities in the state and the hurdles they must overcome to earn a dignified living. the idea is to tell why many end up migrating to other states and why the situation isn’t changing .
in just six years, neetu chandra has worked with some of the best directors in bollywood like madhur bhandarkar, dibakar banerjee, ram gopal varma, priyadarshan, jagmohan mundhra, etc. the dusky damsel recently has now donned the producer' s hat for her first bhojpuri production
deswa
, directed by her brother nitin chandra, which released last month. neetu, who has also done an item song in the film, says she wants to change people' e perception about bhojpuri cinema .
revolution, system, governance, change, these are not words which find mention in bhojpuri cinema with its choli, lahenga and bhauji (sister - in - law) fixation. it is against its peers that deswa comes up as a pleasant surprise. the film has its heart at the right place and the director manages to tell the story of the fall of bihar in an effective way. the helplessness of the bihari youth, their trials and tribulations, the frustration of not being able to secure a livelihood in their own homeland; the compulsion to get insulted, beaten up and even killed when they try to earn their daily bread in other states is all so vividly captured. the desperation which drove thousands of youth towards crime and the rampant hooliganism and gradual rot in the society has been portrayed very honestly. for someone like me, who was unfortunate enough to grow up in the lost years of the lalu - rabri’s jungle raj, the film has many moments where one can’t help but get choked up. deswa effortlessly manages to touch all the right chords…
i thought of getting into production because i want to bring sensibility and sensitivity in bhojpuri films. i have invested all my savings in
deswa
. it' s a revolutionary film. there is no violence or nudity, which is typically related to bhojpuri films, and when you make something which is not a part of the norm, not many people stand by you. but i believed in this film from day one and have done everything, including an item song, to promote the movie. the movie has been received very well in international film festivals .
coming to the drawbacks, the film has very few. the acting from the supporting cast could have been more polished. background score is a little loud at places and some dialogues sound clichéd. the ending could have been better. however, these trivialities do not take away from the makers of deswa, the credit they deserve. it is a powerful film, a brave effort which needs to be discussed, applauded and take inspiration from. at the very least, it should shame those so - called filmmakers of the bhojpuri cinema who are bringing a bad name to the region with the filth they are creating .
neetu, who has a guest appearance in the movie, says deswa is not a hardcore bihari film .
its a story that can be seen by kids and elders of the family together .
kranti jha, a well - known name in the world of theatre, plays the role of rajiv kumar in the film. along with him, deepak singh, a native of siwan, is essaying the role of sankar pandey. ajay kumar, a national school of drama graduate who is associated with a number of prominent national - international theatre groups, and arti puri too have a major role. it also stars ashish vidyarthi .
director nitin chandra says it is sad that despite a huge market in india and abroad, bhojpuri films, being frowned upon for its c - grade content, have not grown and that it’s time to revive it .
“i totally agree with bhojpuri cinema being b and c grade and i don’t mind that, ” he added .
chandra, elder brother of bollywood actress neetu chandra, says if the content is good, bhojpuri films can flourish in international market .
“so, far the kinds of films being made in bhojpuri are not even sold in bihar. bhojpuri has failed to create an inclusive audience for itself, ” chandra told ians .
“there are countries where bhojpuri is spoken. fiji, suriname, mauritius, trinidad and many other countries have millions of bhojpuri speaking people. market is created, it’s not god gifted. i am trying to create one, ” he said .
the content of films are being looked down upon, thanks to excessive skin show, raunchy item numbers and double meaning dialogues that titillate front - benchers and drive away family audiences .
“bhojpuri film industry is killing both cinema and language. it needs revival, ” chandra told ians in an interview .
“when i passed from the university in 2005, i saw the plight of bhojpuri films. i was aghast at the kinds of films being made in my mother tongue. that time i decided that i would make a bhojpuri film someday and finally i could make it, ” he said .
“no, my film didn’t have a commercial release. it was released in just a token of five theatres for national award, ” he said .
the industry started on a high note in the early 1960s with family drama “ganga maiya tohe piyari chadhaibo” and later paved hits like “laagi nahi chhute ram”, “bidesiya” and all - time favourite “nadiya ke paar” .
but from the 1990s onwards, the quality of bhojpuri cinema went downhill and chandra says that now it is tough to find distributors for meaningful bhojpuri movies .
“there are a few hindi films and bhojpuri, i hope i find investor for them, ” he said .

has been exploring the actress in her by acting in the play umrao, based on the life of umrao jaan. meanwhile, she is also reading scripts looking for quality work. to know more, go to
in front of the mirror from childhood. i used to imitate them, and was always fascinated by them. then, during my school days, i was into dramatics. altogether, here i am now — in bollywood .
it’s a bhojpuri film and has been entirely shot in bihar. we made this film to change the face of the industry and for the love of the language — bhojpuri is my mother tongue. besides, when you think about bhojpuri cinema, you think of soft porn. the imaging is really bad, and i really don’t connect with any of the bhojpuri films. we have got
to sing for the film, and have made a quality film. it has been screened at eight international film festivals. it was also the first bhojpuri film that was screened at the indian panorama in five decades .
i do feel bad, as i don’t have thick skin. luckily, i haven’t been linked too much. i had been in a relationship with a guy for five years, and have mostly been linked with him .
i have been associated with cpa (cancer patient association) for about 7 - 8 years. i was also associated with unicef and for an organisation working for hiv patients. i do it not because they need me or my help, but because i feel good doing so .
i stay with my family. but, initially when i came here and was looking for a pg accommodation, nobody was ready to give me their flat. firstly, because i was a girl, and secondly because they thought that since i’m from bihar, i must be carrying a katta (country - made revolver) and will usurp their property. however, my family moved here soon .
when i get some free time, i love to cook for my mother. cooking is a great stress buster .
i drink a lot of fluids and work out everyday without fail. besides, i don’t eat anything that’s fattening. one must remember that if you can’t respect your body, you can respect anything. you need to be consistent .
and, of course, myself. i have a different body type though. mine is unlike those kiddie bodies .
wear what makes you comfortable and suits your body type. when it comes to fashion, i don’t follow trends, i set trends .
one should keep oneself down to earth. one must work hard to achieve success, and be positive and give 100% to everything. i believe that 99% is equal to 0% .

later, at the end of the film, kumar said that he really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to others because of the fine storyline, acting, crisp dialog, and the music in it .
all the actors have done justice with their roles and this shows that bihari artists are in no way inferior to artists from other states. they have tremendous amount of talent and if given the chance, they could bring laurels to the state ,
he said .
nitin chandra, the director of the film, said that he had no interest in politics but being a bihari; he has drawn upon his personal experience and has tried to portray them in this film .

a bhojpuri film produced by bollywood star neetu chandra and starring ashish vidyarthi has allegedly been pulled from the ongoing patna film festival over its controversial political content .
the 2011 movie, which has been shown at different film festivals in india and abroad, revolves around the theme of lawlessness in bihar in the years before chief minister nitish kumar took over the state government, and was due to be shown on tuesday and thursday .
a fictional account, it depicts bihar’s turnaround over a period of six years through its protagonists, who take to law - breaking during the rjd regime in 2003 when there was a spurt in crime .
according to sources, the organisers of the film festival realised too late that the content of the film was not suitable for screening under the changed political circumstances at a time when the rjd was part of the grand alliance government in bihar .
as per the original schedule, it was scheduled to be screened at 6pm at elphinstone theatre on tuesday and 10am on thursday at mona cinema, but was unceremoniously dropped at the last minute .
in fact, the organisers had already booked the flight tickets and arranged accommodation for the movie’s director nitin chandra after inviting him to attend the festival .
chandra had the shock of his life when he reached the mumbai airport on tuesday only to be told by the airline staff that his ticket had been cancelled .
' inconvenience caused to you is regretted,' the two - sentence letter said .
' i do not know what mistake have i committed? after all, i had not asked them to show the film at patna film festival' he said .
' my bhojpuri film has been shown in eight countries,' he said .
' the government of india has also honoured the film. even chief minister nitish kumar applauded it.'
' i am still in shock,' she posted on her facebook wall .
' i do not know whom to ask. we are so sad and disappointed. who is answerable?'
art and culture officials said the screening had been dropped because of ‘technical reasons’. they said that since the film had already been screened in the past, it was decided not to repeat it .
however, sources said the film had to be pulled because of its theme .

screened at the recently concluded international film festival of south asia in toronto ,
the topical film with a strong message on the youth and the opportunities in bihar
bowled over indians residing in toronto .
rohit ranjan, an nri from ranchi, went to see the film with his friends and family and enjoyed the
very strong, free flowing and well - made movie that doesn' t drag even once
.
asked about the experience of watching a movie in his own dialect in a foreign land, rohit said :
got the goose bumps .
watching a bhojpuri movie in a theatre in foreign land was an incredible experience. it was even better to catch up with a lot of people after the movie and listen to them speaking in chaste bhojpuri ,
he added .
with 75 percent occupancy in the theatre, most of the people were from bihar or eastern uttar pradesh, but not necessarily bhojpuri speaking .
i did notice two to three small groups inside the theatre that were non - hindi speaking ,
said rohit .
people were warm and most importantly, they know good cinema and appreciate it. as a filmmaker, what else do i want? toronto is a world city and getting rave reviews from the audience here really made me proud, i want to come again and again here ,
he told ians in an e - mail interview .
the bhojpuri film industry came into existence in the early 1960s after india' s first president, rajendra prasad, asked bollywood actor nazir hussain why no films were being made in the language .
he mulled over it and the result was
ganga maiya tohe piyari chadhaibo
that hit the cinemas in 1963 and created history by becoming a blockbuster. directed by kundan kumar and produced by bishwanath prasad shahabadi, it starred nazir, kumkum and ashim kumar and paved way for many notable films like
laagi nahi chhute ram
,
bidesiya
and all time favourite
nadiya ke paar
.
but from the 1990s onwards, the quality of bhojupuri cinema went downhill and a filmdom that once entertained family audiences started catering to the front benchers by focusing on titilation and wishy - washy content .
i totally agree with bhojpuri cinema being b and c grade, and i don' t mind saying that ,
chandra said .
bhojpuri is my mother tongue, it' s my identity, it' s what i am or would be ,
he said .
his endeavour has yielded desired results with the film being screened and lauded at international film festival of india (iffi), south asian film festival of india, montage film festival, habitat world film festival and international film festival of fiji .
at most of the fests ,
responses have been really great ,
said chandra, adding :
people are shocked and in awe too because they never expected anything like this in a bhojpuri film .
if made well, the bhojpuri films can have takers in far off places like
fiji, surinam, mauritius, trinadad and more ,
said the director who made documentaries before plunging into feature film making .

crowdfunding has given wings to many dreams and it also came to the rescue of debutant director pawan shrivastava. pawan is the director of hindi movie ‘naya pata’, which portrays the life of an immigrant person who is originally from bihar and moves to delhi in search of a livelihood .
the story revolves around the life of the protagonist and his experiences in the city and the subsequent life he leads after retirement back in his home town. ‘naya pata’ has been made through crowdfunding which raised rs 10 lakhs. it was released recently under the pvr director’s rare platform .
pawan says ‘naya pata’ started taking shape in his mind during his college days when he listened to ghazals and watched serious cinema such as the ones made by satyajit ray. “the movies and songs i heard led to the formation of some stories, dialogues, characters and visuals even in my head. these characters, visuals, stories were mine and it was my duty to tell them, ” says pawan .
those stories and dreams moved to the background as pawan went about living his routine life. he completed his degree in computer science and got a job in mumbai. the mumbai stint helped him revive his passion for movie - making, as pawan started visiting prithvi theatre and making contacts there. he worked for five years in mumbai, but then quit his job in 2005 to return to bihar. while in bihar, he made three documentaries on social issues for different clients .
pawan says he penned down the story of ‘naya pata’ in just 15 pages. when he met some people to discuss the story and seek financing, he did not meet with much enthusiasm. “people told me there is not much plot in my story. but i thought a movie can also be made without a plot. in one evening nothing special happens in our lives, there is no plot but still there is a story, ” he reasons .
once pawan realised that raising money through film financers would be tough he started approaching friends he had made in the industry who could work for him for free. and thus he put together his team of art director, cinematographer, director of photography and the rest of the crew .
the first corpus of funds came from pawan’s brother and ex - colleagues who were encouraging of his passion for film making. “what i was making was rural cinema, it is independent cinema, which is evolving day by day. there are independent movies coming up these days, but those are still urban centric. in fact, in a debate on tv, prasoon joshi asked independent moviemakers like anurag kashyap and srijit mukherjee that though they are rebellious why aren’t they making rural - centric content? urban content is safe; it has a market in the multiplexes. whereas ‘naya pata’ was not like that, it didn’t have any good visuals to look at, nor were things flashy, ” says pawan .
pawan nevertheless embarked upon his journey. he brought down his crew to patna, they did a recce of the shoot location and uploaded pictures on the facebook page created for ‘naya pata’. pawan sent mails and reached out to people – known and unkown explaining the concept of the movie and the need for funds. he sent mails to 1, 500 people of which 30 - 35 people responded and he managed to collect rs 2 lakh before the film went on the floor .
while crowdfunding helped pawan take care of the finances for the film, he was also lucky to have met people who encouraged him at different steps through the journey. one such person was his friend from bihar who let him shoot the first schedule of his film in his house for free. another friend from mumbai gave him lenses for shooting at over 50% discount from the market rate. people from faraway lands like australia and finland sent money to help pawan fulfill his dream .
“within a few days of shooting the funds would get over, i used to talk to friends, post on fb and people would send money. then i would send my friend to the city with the atm card to bring the money and we continued shooting this way. people were contributing from rs 500 to rs 35, 000. because i was shooting simultaneously, it helped me raise funds because people were seeing online the progress of the film and how the funds were being utilized, ” says pawan .
generosity continued touching pawan when pawan sharma, an old contact for whom he had made short films, met him in mumbai. pawan had completed shooting the movie, but had to wait again to raise funds for post - production. he met several corporate organizations requesting them to be co - presenters for ‘naya pata’, but it did not yield any result. for four months after shooting nothing much happened until pawan sharma came along. “he was very inspired seeing the short films that i had made and he knew about ‘naya pata’ and how things were moving. so when i told him that i am still waiting for funds to do post production work, he very generously gave me rs 2. 5 lakhs and helped me complete the film, ” says pawan .
luck smiled again when india habitat centre in delhi let out their auditorium for free to ‘naya pata’ to do the preview screening. pawan invited more than 500 people to the screening and among them was the top boss at pvr director’s rare who told pawan they were willing to release his movie .
the entire ‘naya pata’ movie has been made on a lot of goodwill and pawan does consider it to be a blessing. “my music director, sound engineer, and everyone worked on goodwill basis, they supported me. i have not paid them anything. as an individual i was doing many things, making the film, collecting money, setting up catering and everything for my film. so you need to have lots of patience, be ready to do anything and yes raising funds is always tough, ” shares pawan .
from the time he put down his idea on paper to the completion of his film, it has been a long journey of four years. this is, however, less than the 17 years that filmmaker imitiaz ali took, and 13 years that anurag kashyap took to make their first movies, and that motivates pawan to do better. “things have been comparatively easier for me, but yes there are still many hurdles that i have to overcome as an director, ” says pawan .
unlike a startup where there is continuity in what an entrepreneur does, pawan’s maiden venture has reached fruition. but as a director, ‘naya pata’ was only his first step. pawan says he has already written the synopsis for his second movie and will start work on it soon. while crowdfunding will continue to be a source of funds, pawan has decided that for the next movie he will seek at least 60% funding from financers, and he is optimistic that ‘naya pata’ will help lend him the credibility that institutional financers are looking for .
