B.A. Pass 2 Hindi Film Download
Raiquen Courcelle
B.A. Pass is a 2012 Indian neo noir erotic thriller film, produced by Narendra Singh and directed by Ajay Bahl, and starring Shilpa Shukla, Shadab Kamal, Rajesh Sharma, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in lead roles. It is distributed by Bharat Shah's VIP films banner. The film is based on the 2009 short story "The Railway Aunty" by Mohan Sikka.[2]
Director Ajay Bahl had two choices for the lead role, Richa Chadda and Shilpa Shukla, whose work he had liked in Khamosh Pani. Shukla had recently done Chak De! India, and since he didn't want to go with a known face, he opted for Chaddha. However, when she was asked to act in Gangs of Wasseypur, he then suggested that she do that film instead of B.A. Pass, and cast Shukla in the lead role.[2]
This film was mostly shot in the city of Delhi. It was shot by director-cinematographer Ajay Bahl in the bylanes of Paharganj, Barakhamba Road and the Sarai Rohilla area of Delhi, and the principal photography which started in July 2011 in Delhi, after two months devoted to look test, was completed in January 2012.[5]
At the 2012 Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema, the film won the Best Film Award in the 'Indian competition' section, while debutante Shadab Kamal won the Best Actor award.[6][7] Later at the 2012 Montreal World Film Festival the film was part of the 'First Films World Competition',[8] where it was nominated for the Golden Zenith for the Best First Fiction Feature Film.
So, I got to know about this film from shorts. I thought it would be a Lemmo film but from starting situation till the end, you will find yourself in it. After this film, you must pray to god for this beautiful life film man. ??
Neo noir films in Hollywood and other countries have always been distinctive in terms of its story telling, style and dark visual content. The use of lights (dark & shadow) is very essential in these kinds of films and BA Pass has been successful in that regard. Most parts of BA Pass have been beautifully shot by the director himself in the suburbs and the dark lanes of Delhi depicting the middle class life of Delhi.They do give a quite realistic and noir feel to the story. But although BA Pass excels in the technical department and has all the ingredients to be a successful crime thriller (with twists and turns specially the unexpected climatic twist), it never really proves to be a satisfying film eventually.
On the whole, BA Pass had a decent plot for a thriller but turns out to be an average film. It is frustrating to see films like this one which had so much of potential turning out as a run-of-the-mill piece. But I would definitely applaud the attempt of Ajay Bahl to do at least something different and bold instead of opting the easier route on his directorial debut.
The film is held together by the brilliant Shilpa Shukla. Her fierce yet cold, emotionless portraiture of Sarika, wherein she seeks an escape from her own sad reality stands out throughout and fascinates the viewer. Shilpa had said in an interview that she poured out all her passion into this film and that is quite evident. Shadab Kamal seems appropriate as Mukesh, at first. His vulnerability and boyish charm fit the bill appropriately in the first half, but as the film progresses, one wishes for more layers appearing in his acting, which seem to be missing. Dibyendu Bhattacharya is perfect as Jolly, the ever-supportive friend who keeps the viewer guessing till the end.
Timed at a crisp 95 minutes, Director Ajay Bahl and writer Ritesh Shah deserve all the accolades they are getting for creating a sharp, hard-hitting tale that stays with you long after leaving the movie hall. The sex scenes are filmed aesthetically and adequately portray the coldness they are intended to display. The editing is perfect. The camera moves like a human eye and the background music (Alokananda Dasgupta) is used to brilliantly overlap the happenings with the flow of emotions.
Life can be tough and people can be unforgiving. B.A. Pass proves both. The other major film in theatres has grossed a 100 crores in its opening weekend and B.A. Pass will perhaps be lucky to earn 10 crores in its lifetime. However, that doesn\u2019t take away from the efforts and intentions invested by the makers of the film and they deserve a salute! Do not miss this one if you have the appetite to digest it\u2026
The film is said to be dark human drama which will revolve around a small town couple who has recently shifted base to Mumbai. Co-produced by Bhatt,the film will have Rajkumar Yadav playing the lead but the actress is yet to be finalized. Mahesh Bhatt also revealed that the film will resemble his 80s films and will have truth and brutality.
First time director Ajay Bahl direct Shadab Kamal and Shilpa Shukla in the B.A.Pass. with the trailers that promised a bold look at coming of age drama and an erotic psychological noir film . What we end up getting is a half-baked, over stylized and a narratively incomplete attempt that leaves a lot to be desired off.
In the acting department Shukla has been garnering rave reviews for her portrayal of the strong character that is not afraid to use her sexuality as a weapon. This is the first film I have seen her in after the very impressive Chak De India. Here too there is nothing particularly bad about what she does except that in some of the more intimate scenes she hams it up a little too much for it to appear believable. As for Kamal he does a better job of being more believable in those intimate scenes. There is intensity to him even in quite scenes and he is someone who clearly has a lot of potential handling complex roles.
The background score by Aloknanda Dasgupta is brilliant and very effective especially when it is nothing more than a loud booming cello bass. I would have walked out had the music not been as great as it was and it did manage to elevate the movie above a below-average wannabe noir. The cinematography by Ajay Bahl lends a very Nicholas Winding Refn-ish feel with the Neon lights and the indirect lighting. The visual quality of the film is deserving of a much better narrative then the script by Ritesh Shah.
The deceased, identified as Shikha Joshi, lived with a friend in a housing society in New Mhada Colony in Andheri West and had arrived in the city from Delhi two months back. Shikha had worked in critically acclaimed Bollywood film BA Pass (2012) along with Shilpa Shukla.
Her so-sweet-almost-shady broker (Sasho Satiiysh Saarathy; showed potential in the Manjunath Shanmugam biopic) convinces her to become an actress. She has the looks, he insists. "I don't have any other skills; might as well try," she giggles. Interesting commentary on the star culture, I think. Clearly, the director has been around the circuit and back. For once, we aren't seeing a "struggler" in a conventional sense. Films about films usually revolve around ambitious people going right or wrong.
If only this intensely tacky film did justice to her journey, instead of turning it into yet another B-grade Madhur Bhandarkar B movie. If Heroine and Fashion had an illegitimate low-budget baby in the shady bylanes of Versova, B.A. Pass 2 is the name.
Much of what you read above is my pondering about a personality that doesn't deserve so much introspection. She isn't written this way, but I've seen enough films to want her to be less of a cliché. I had a lot of time to think about what could have been during this 135-minute film. There isn't an ounce of complexity otherwise; cigarettes and alcohol are still used as character-assassination tools, sex with a lower-caste man is the nadir of existence, sugar daddies are philandering cheaters, the line is blurred between "good-hearted" casting agents and glorified pimps, and sex is all about aesthetically locked fingers, closed eyes and the naked female back.
How far can one go to find inner peace? Many have dreams to come to Mumbai and be a superstar but what happens to those who fail to achieve anything in this ruthless glamour industry? BA Pass 2, that is directed by popular model turned director Shadab Khan, is about one such girl from Bhopal. However, Narendra Singh has produced the second instalment too under the banner of Filmy Box productions. Earlier titled as MA Pass, the film not only faced a legal battle with the CBFC because of its title, but also generated a lot of anticipation among the viewers since BA Pass (2012) was a sleeper hit.
Neha (Kritika Sachdeva) leaves her parents' house in Bhopal against their will and move to Mumbai. With writing as a hobby, Neha never really aspires to take up acting as her profession. She meets an estate agent Vijay (Sasho) who takes care of her and helps her with industry contacts too. Her life changes when she becomes the face of several brands overnight. In the meantime, she meets a businessman Ritesh (Indraneil Sengupta) who is willing to produce a small budget film with Neha and soon after signs her. She falls for him while being oblivious to the fact that he is a married man with a kid. Things become worse for her when she faces professional rejections. She goes into depression and what happens next is what BA Pass is all about.
