STORY: Back in the 80s and 90s, Sudheer (Sanjay Mishra) was an ‘aloo’ – a moniker given to character actors – and while he has enjoyed his fair share of popularity for his larger-than-life roles, Sudheer is now a recluse. However, an unsuccessful video interview with the media stirs up old memories and instils a new ray of hope in his heart, to reach a new benchmark and face the camera, even if it is for one last time.
REVIEW: Once a household name, and known for his eccentric portrayal of some of the most outlandish characters Indian cinema has ever witnessed in the golden era of Bollywood, Sudheer knows he’s been moderately famous. But, ‘the old man’ has now accepted his fate – his prime days, as a character artiste, are long over. A widower, living alone in his family home and drowning himself in alcohol, Sudheer shows very little interest when an enthusiastic broadcast journalist shows up for an interview with the ‘Forgotten Stars of Bollywood’. The journalist also requests him to mouth his iconic dialogue – ‘bas enjoying life, aur koi option thodi hai.’ But, a mere piece of paper highlighting his career graph (which she sources online), grabs his attention and he realises that he gave up on acting just one film short of his 500th movie. Apprehensive and out of touch, an avid Sudheer conjures up the strength to chase his newfound dream and hit the movie studios one last time before hanging his boots. But, with the industry undergoing drastic changes over the years – both in terms of acting and its treatment of character actors – how will he find his feet in what now seems like an alien world?
‘Kaamyaab’ cherry-picks the fascinating and lesser known world of character actors (aka ‘sidekicks’) and delves deep without generating too much chaos and commotion around it. The tonality of the narrative is light, subtle, funny and emotional. It carefully navigates through the era of 80s and 90s cinema and focusses mostly on the supporting actors of that generation. While the protagonist’s character is sketched in such a way that he has to be over-the-top, there is something about this film that strikes as refreshingly different.
Writer-director Hardik Mehta has beautifully weaved Sudheer’s character, who is an indifferent artiste with a sudden interest in dreams, goals, aims and ambitions and would stop at nothing until he achieves what he’s set out to do. True, the forgotten actor is deeply flawed – an adorably compulsive liar and a chronic drinker – but one’s heart cannot help but melt when the details of his personal life unfold – a wife gone too soon, a loving daughter torn between her love for her father and all the ‘disappointments’ he has put her through. And so, when life presents itself with an opportunity to achieve a personal milestone, Sudheer knows he has to redeem himself and get this one right; one way or the other.
Sanjay Mishra, as the aging and mostly forgotten small-time actor, channelling the inner conflict of a man whose 499th film was a disaster and brought disgrace to the family, is a vision to behold. In hilarious scenes, Mishra wears a poker-faced expression throughout but pitches his dialogues in a way that hit you hard and also tickles your funny bones. In emotional scenes, where he is grappling with the reality of his situation, Mishra totally draws you in with every single expression. Deepak Dobriyal pulls off an excellent portrayal of a former friend-turned-casting director, Gulati, and their camaraderie leaves you in splits. Sarika Singh, who plays his daughter Bhavna, stands out for one scene in particular, where she has an emotional meltdown in front of her father.
Set in the present day, the mood of ‘Kaamyaab’ is 90s – big wigs, flashy clothes, caricature-ish characters, a lot of ‘buddy time’ on sets and some serious loud theatrics. The film’s music, by Rachita Arora, balances the otherwise blaring depiction of the industry with its soothing numbers and barely-there background scores; a perfect.
