SYNOPSIS

Our life revolves around perception of truth, in our lives we act only on our ability to judge the truth. Truth though is a fickle thing, paradoxically because it only occurs in absolution; rest is only our interpretation that allows us to live in a certain subjective truth.

A techie has aligned some found footage, in chronological order, for the perusal of Addl. Commissioner of Police, Sanket Pujari and the rookie officer, Sameera. All three sit across the television screen to decipher a rare case of multiple homicides caught on camera …. and this case is going to test their fundamental perception of truth.

They witness the lives of six friends Sam, Dips, Tanya, Patty, Nina and the camera operator Jeeves being blackmailed by a seductress, Hera into a cocaine delivery job till the time they end up being murdered.

In the ensuing interrogation of the drug fixer, Sohail, the viewer is taken through a plethora of half-truths and lies to discover the absolute truth of what really transpired.

LOGLINE

Addl. Commissioner of Police, Sanket Pujari and the rookie officer, Sameera sit across the television screen to decipher a rare case of multiple homicides caught on camera.

PRODUCER’S NOTE

With Charlie Ke Chhakar Mein, I find myself on an unfamiliar yet an exciting territory. The film premise is an investigative thriller that truly makes a brave and a bold attempt to capture the essence of the story and present it in a way that has rarely been seen on the big screen, at least in India. I will go as far as saying that it is an unconventional storytelling that delves deep into the high urban life of today’s youth who wears rose tinted glasses and live with tainted values and fake truths. Having said this, the story and texture isn’t about evaluating and balancing the rights and wrongs, rather it focuses on glamourised raw deals, scandals and even sleaze.

The screenplay is a gripping drama of six characters who live a care-free, high on booze low on responsibility life and fall into a trap from which there is no way out.

I’m truly excited to bring such a unique narrative with a bold theme on a road less travelled that will hopefully pave way for more such stories and add to the already evolving and maturing Indian cinema.

सूत्रों का कहना है की " जब सोहा को फिल्म की कहानी सुनाई गयी थी उसी समय उन्हें बताया गया था की इस फिल्म में उनका लुक बहुत ही साधारण होगा और न ही मेकअप का इस्तेमाल किया जायेगा, जिस गाव में सोहा फिल्म की शूटिं कर रही थी वह को लोग उन्हें साड़ी में देखना चाहते थे , लोग जो उन्हें डेक रहे थे उन्हें सोहा में उनकी माँ शर्मीला टैगोर की झलक दिखाई  दे रही थी."

Soha Ali Khan goes Sharmila Tagore way 

Audience to see the glimpse of Sharmila Tagore in Soha Ali Khan as she performs a woman from the 80's in her upcoming film, 31^st October.

Soha Ali Khan will be seen in a complete different avatar in her upcoming movie, 31^st October. 

Writer-producer Harry Sachdeva's 31^st October is an edge-of-the-seat thriller also featuring the talented actor Vir Das, and its based on the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination by her two Sikh bodyguards, which completely shook the political scenario of the country and changed things forever for a particular community.

Since Soha plays a survivor of the 1984 Delhi massacre in the movie, she had to sport a deglam look. Interestingly, the actress, who got an opportunity to portray a real character on screen, took personal interest in the styling of her role. Soha wanted to have a particular look in terms of her hair, her attire, ear rings and every minute detailing that would remind one of the woman of the 80's era.

A source says, “Soha was briefed during the narration that her character would sport a simple lookand she would be sans makeup. The people of the village where Soha had shot the movie was quite excited to see her in a sari, as most onlookers felt of watching the image of her mother SharmilaTagore in her when she dressed up in the fashion of 80's.”

Soha Ali Khan’s Quotes :

Have you gone deglam in a film before? Apparently you wore just outfits in the film?

Not really. 31^st October is based on the real incident of Indira Gandhi’s assassination and it’s an emotional journey of a Sikh couple played by Vir Das and me. It’s a one day-one night story and certainly not a glamorous role.

What was the brief given by your director for your look in the film?

My character had to look real and resemble a Punjabi housewife from the 80s. Accordingly, I was required to sport a long plait and simple salwar-kameez look. Those days, women often used to wear Patiala suits in a floral print with minimal gold jewellery, leather strap watch and of course a kadaa.

What’s the role you play?

I play Tejinder, sardarni from a lower middle class family in Delhi in the 80s with her family – her husband Devinder and three young children. It was very exciting to play a real character and one such under immense pressure in an extreme situation. It was both challenging and humbling. 

Revealed : The reason behind Shahid growing a beard.

Shahid Kapoor is growing a beard these days as the actor is simply prepping up for a role in Vishal Bhardwaj's Rangoon. 

Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, this Casablanca-like love triangle has Shahid playing an army officer. The beard is integral to his look.

The film also stars, Kangana Ranaut who plays an actress from the '40s, while Saif Ali Khan is to be seen as a filmmaker. 

Rangoon is a dream Vishal has been nurturing for the last seven years, his most ambitious film to date.

Shahid is known to be a `method' actor who preps up for months for a character he's playing for reel.

For Vishal's earlier film Kaminey, he had to go shirtless and race with the horses in one scene. 

Since the character, Charlie, was lean, mean and a tough guy from the streets, the actor worked with his trainer for almost eight months, five days a week and two hours a day, for a chiselled, sinewy physique and the run of a sprinter.

Immediately, after the film's release, he went into a two-month overdrive to pack an eight-pack for his next musical.

More recently, he shaved off his hair for a scene in Vishal's Haider which required him to go bald, then grew it back, only to dye it red, for the upcoming Udta Punjab. 

Shahid's spokesperson confirmed that the beard is for Rangoon.“There was a lot of pressure on him to hold off growing it but he doesn't like paste-up jobs and wants to be ready with a beard of his own when the film rolls in October,“ adding “He's really excited about reuniting with Vishal again.“

Talvar's special screenings held across India much prior to its release.

Talvar is already creating plenty of buzz due to its subject and the makers have decided to go one step ahead and host special screenings of the film across India before its release.

The idea is to show the film to media bigwigs and influencers across the country. Based on the controversial Aarushi Talwar murder case, the film will be first screened in Delhi, particularly in Noida, where the murder took place. After that, it will be shown in cities such as Mumbai, Patna, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Lucknow, Indore, etc., as well as many other small towns.

Talvar also recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it received a tremendous response. Meghna said, “It was overwhelming because the audience reacted perfectly to every situation. Also, the ratio of the Indian audience to foreigners was 70-30. In a scenario like this, for a film to get a good response is very encouraging.”

The makers are confident of the product, and are resorting to the word-of-mouth tool to market the movie. Generally, as is observed, producers are reluctant to host their film’s screening close to the release date. However, the makers of Talvar think otherwise, since they are hosting the special screenings days before the film’s release.

The movie, directed by Meghna Gulzar, and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and Junglee Pictures, will release on October 2. Actors Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sensharma and Neeraj Kabi play the lead roles.
