Bewafa Film

[Giancarlo Stewart]

Thestory unfolds when Sonam reciprocates his feelings, leaving Sintoo all the more confused. What happens after is a series of comedy of errors where a line 'Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai' written on a note goes viral and starts a chain of events.

Opening up about the project, Surbhi said, "'Sonam Gupta Bewafa hai' went Viral and there were a lot of controversies, also initially when I heard that 'Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa hai?' is the title of the film I was very intrigued and It was the first so-called famous meme of India what was going to turn out into a film's concept. To be honest, I was and am very excited about it. It's in a very ROM-COM Space, it has comedy, emotions and everything. Well knitted. I would say that the film absolutely justifies the title."

Set in a small town in Uttar Pradesh, the film is about a young man, Sintoo (Gill) who falls in love with Sonam Gupta (Jyoti) and the story unfolds when Sonam reciprocates his feelings, leaving Sintoo all the more confused. What happens after is a series of comedy of errors where a line written on a note goes viral and starts a chain of events, the official summary of the film read.

Sikri, who died in July at the age of 75 following a cardiac arrest, will be seen in pivotal role in the movie. Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5 India, said they are thrilled to present a fictional story based on a true incident with elements of romance and humour.

'Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai' is based on a true incident but it picks up from there and completes the narrative. We are sure that people are curious to know why something written on a currency note was trending," Kalra said in a statement.

When Sintu (Jassie Gill) asks Sonam Gupta (Surbhi Jyoti) why she left him, she replies, "tumhara chota hai". She meant his brain that was small, gesturing towards his skull, but Sintu, being your usual penis-obsessed cookie-cutter rabid heterosexual assumes she is talking about the size of his tool, and is immediately wracked with fear, shame, and regret. He consults people who tell him to apply ointments regularly. His mother almost slips on some of this penis-enhancing oil. Freud would have had a field day.

Written and directed by SSaurabh Tyagi Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai, set in Bareilly, is stuck in narrative tropes that have aged into offense, in genres like small-town feisty romance slowly going rotten, with sedate acting that couldn't possibly be resuscitated even by cinematic CPR. It's quite simply put, the worst.

The hero, Sintu early on says, "Sincerity se peecha karo, toh ek din zaroor dekhegi," about stalking his love-interest Sonam Gupta, the feisty small town girl, into submission. Her entire personality is her grit to outgrow the small-town, while his entire personality is to inbreed in Bareilly, to grow the roots deeper. He has never had an original thought in his life, living out life lessons from lotharios in film.

Sonam Gupta, through an awful twist of circumstances, turns out to be a bewafa, unfaithful, and so Sintu, wretched, heartbroken, turns to the Indian currency as a solution, writing 'Sonam Kapoor Bewafa Hai' on all the notes that circulate around the small town. A scene later, it becomes national television news. (There is even a joke about Modi being inspired to demonetize 500 Rupee notes because of this, which would make sense, even as a joke, if there weren't "Apna Time Aayega" t-shirts, a post-2019 reference in a pre-2016 film.)

While the idea of a comedy over a jilted lover is nothing new, the concept of taking a viral meme and running amok with it is something that writer-Director Ssaurabh Tyagi has pulled off well, when it could have so easily turned into a blueprint of why converting a meme into a full-length feature film isn't a good decision.

A debut opposite Salman Khan in the 90s was a dream for most aspiring actresses. To get that and then have the film work at the box office would mean the dream has come true. This is what happened with this one outsider, an alien to films, who became an overnight sensation. But then, just as quickly as she had found fame, she lost it all. And all of it, due to one technicality.

Before her debut, Chandni signed a multi-film deal with Sawa Kumar Tak, the director of Sanam Bewafa. This meant that even after the success of her debut film, she could not sign any other movie. By the time, Tak freed her of the contract, a significant amount of time had passed and she was no longer a sensation. At this point, Chandni did supporting roles in big films like 1942 A Love Story, Jai Kishan, and others, but could never recapture her former glory. Her last film release was in 1998.

Bollywood film Kya Meri Sonam Gupta Bewafa Hai will release on streaming platform ZEE5. Beside late actor Surekha Sikri in her last screen appearance, the movie also stars Jassie Gill, Surbhi Jyoti, Vijay Raaz, Bijendra Kala and Atul Shrivastava.

Bollywood, a playful word derived from Hollywood and the city of Bombay, refers specifically to the Hindi-language films produced in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India, the city known as the heart of the South Asian film industry. The term Bollywood has come to represent Indian cinema as a whole, but India has many thriving regional and linguistic cinemas and there is no one type of Bollywood film nor are they all made in Mumbai. A recent trend has been to film in North America to take advantage of the large South Asian population and a well-developed film infrastructure. A corresponding trend has seen major US studios finance Bollywood films for the Asian market.

Since the 1990s, there has been an upsurge in Indian-produced films shot in such "exotic" locations as Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, Niagara Falls and even Hamilton, Ontario. A typical example is the film work of Akshay Kumar, an action star of Indian cinema, who has made 3 of his popular "Khiladi" movies (Khiladi, a Hindu word, means a "player" or clever fellow) in Canada: Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (Player of Players, 1996), Mr & Mrs Khiladi (1997) and International Khiladi (1999), all shot in Toronto. His other films with Canadian locations are Bewafaa (Unfaithful, 2005), shot in Montreal, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (You Made Me Crazy, 2006) and 8 x 10 Tasveer (8 x 10 Picture, 2009), which were shot in Calgary, and Thank You (2011), made in Vancouver. So popular is Kumar with Canadian South Asian audiences that he was named the brand ambassador for the Canada Tourism Commission in India in 2010 and invited to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the 2010 G20 summit in Toronto.

Noted Indo-Canadian filmmakers have brought Bollywood sensibilities to their films. Srinivas Krishna's Toronto-shot Masala (1991), a film that uses many Bollywood cinematic tropes to reflect on the 1985 Air India terrorist bombing, was voted the best film by a non-resident Indian in a 2002 British Film Institute poll of South Asian cinema, while Deepa Mehta's Bollywood/Hollywood (2002), also set in Toronto, is an exuberant romantic comedy deploying Bollywood's song-and-dance tradition combined with Hollywood's traditional insistence on a happy ending.

Canadian-born actors with Indian ancestry such as Lisa Ray, the star of Bollywood/Hollywood and Water, have built their careers in both countries. Neeru Bajwa, a Vancouver actress of Punjabi heritage, began appearing onscreen in Indian soap operas and moved to India to star in the Bollywood features Prince and Mel Karade Rabba, among others. And while Canadian talent makes its mark in Bollywood, the Indian film industry takes advantage of locations like Niagara Falls. According to Toronto film commissioner Peter Finestone, Indian film companies spent more than $850 million in Canada in 2010.
