Although Neena Gupta was shortly expecting a child getting married to Vivian was never going to happen.

When Neena Gupta was growing up it was unheard of to have an unmarried child. Her parents were traditional. Given the kind of attention celebrities receive today, even celebrities would think twice before having a child in a romantic relationship. Neena Gupta however was not someone who was intimidated by society or its traditional conventions.

Best Movies

Mandi (Short Film)

The classic Urdu short story ‘Aanandi’ by Pakistani author Ghulam Abbas served as the inspiration for this movie. It involves a brothel in the centre of a city in a location that some politicians consider to be prime real estate.

In the name of morality, they organize a protest against the brothel and its occupants and soon everyone in the neighbourhood joins them.

The politicians promise to build a different location for the prostitutes to live but it is miles distant and remote from the city. The madam of the house is forced to agree but by the end of the story, things start to make more sense.

Men will still be men after all. In another Bengali movie, Neena Gupta portrayed a sex worker. Shabana Azmi Soni Razdan and Smita Patil were among the movie’s star-studded ensemble cast but Gupta’s performance cannot be disregarded.

Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda

A fantastic novel has been expertly adapted into the film ‘Suraj Ka Satvan Ghoda.’ The adaptation by Shyam Benegal deftly explores the topics in Dharamvir Bharti’s book.

Rajit Kapur’s portrayal of Manek Mulla the storyteller recounts his companions three tales of three women he knew at various times in his life: Rajeshwari Sachdev a symbol of the middle-class class Pallavi Joshi a smart and wealthy woman and Neena Gupta (the poor).

As seen from the perspectives of the many key characters in the movie the three stories are actually three separate strands of a single story. A group’s or society’s overall speed or development is determined by the lowest sluggish or weakest members. The movie’s title which serves as a metaphor for the whole thing compares modern civilization to the mythological imagery of the Sun’s chariot pulled by seven horses.

The Last Color

The movie tackles a long-standing taboo that surrounds widows in Varanasi and Vrindavan India. It describes how a young tightrope walker just 9 years old befriends one such widow and vows to make her life more colourful.

The Last Color a novel by Chef Vikas Khanna that explores the bond between a teenage tightrope walker and a widow named Noor in Vrindavan is the basis for the movie. On the occasion of Holi, the couple longs to play with colour but Noor and the other widows are constrained by custom. Indian-American chef Vikas Khanna is the producer and director of the Indian feature film The Last Color.

The movie tackles a long-standing taboo that surrounds widows in Varanasi and Vrindavan India. It describes how a young tightrope walker just 9 years old befriends one such widow and vows to make her life more colourful. Khanna’s own book ‘The Last Color ‘ which was published by Bloomsbury Publishing served as the basis for the movie. Additionally, some Banaras Hindu University students served as interns on this project.

Jaane Bhi do Yaaro

This is the tale of two buddies trying to launch their own photography business Vinod (Naseeruddin Shah) and Sudhir (Ravi Baswani). Even though business is extremely slow prospects appear promising until Shobha (Barve) editor of the publication ‘Khabardaar ‘ contacts them.

Shobha gives the two of them a speech about morality and integrity before giving them the task of observing and documenting the dubious interactions between Tarneja a property developer and Police Commissioner D’Mello (Satish Shah) (Pankaj Kapoor).

The two discover bribery and corruption while working on their task to win the flyover construction tender. D’Mello Tarneja and his opponent Ahuja are the primary participants in this (Om Puri). Sudhir and Vinod detect the scent of a murder while spying on the sinister three but they are unable to identify the culprit.

They succeed in getting the body back as evidence but then they misplace it. What happens next and pretty much the entire rest of the film is a protracted chase between the good guys (Vinod and Sudhir) and the evil guys (Tarneja and Co.) who are after the corpse.

Mulk

Mulk which is based on a true tale follows a Muslim joint family from an Indian hamlet as they try to regain their honour after one of its members turns to terrorism. Lawyer Murad Ali Mohammed (Rishi Kapoor) resides amicably with his family in a Varanasi neighbourhood with a varied population.

When her own family becomes embroiled in a dark dispute one family member attempts to assist them. Mulk is based on a true event and the film highlights the fight of a Muslim family to reclaim their privilege when one of their family members is caught up in terrorism.

His wife Tabassum (Neena Gupta) his younger brother Bilaal (Manoj Pahwa) and his wife Chhoti Tabassum (Prachi Shah) their son Shahid Mohammed (Prateik Babbar) and daughter Aayat make up his family. Soon after his daughter-in-law Aarti Mohammed (Taapsee Pannu) returns from Germany following a squabble with her husband.

However, when Shahid becomes embroiled in terrorist operations and is shot down by the investigating detective Danish Javed’s life in the Mohammed family takes a sharp turn (Rajat Kapur). The Mohammeds find themselves in a situation where they not only have to defend themselves but also demonstrate their devotion to their ‘mulk’ due to the perception their faith unintentionally leads them to be connected with. Deepak Mukut and Anubhav Sinha are the producers of Mulk under the auspices of Banaras MediaWorks & Soham Rockstar Entertainment.

Badhaai Ho

PlayAmit Ravindernath Sharma is the director of the 2018 Bollywood coming-of-age comedy-drama Badhaai Ho. Ayushmann Khurrana Sanya Malhotra Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta play the key characters in the film. Actors like Alka Amin Sheeba Chadha and Alka Kaushal played prominent supporting roles.
