Sandeep Mohan‘s directoral debut, an indie feature titled Love, Wrinkle-free is releasing this friday. It stars Ash Chandler, Shernaz Patel, Seema Rahmani, Sohrab Ardeshir, Ashwin Mushran, Marianne Borgo, Arika Silaichia, Giju John and Theron Carmine.
Making an independent film is a difficult task for sure. But releasing it is almost impossible. Thanks to PVR Directors Rare section, the film is getting a limited release. But what is the director thinking? Will he survive? Over to a casual conversation between his Right Brain (RB) and Left Brain (LB).
LEFT RIGHT LOVE WRINKLE FREE…
Right Brain Sandeep (RB):
Hey bugger, heard that your movie Love, Wrinkle-free is releasing today or something?
Left Brain Sandeep(LB):
Yeah man, labour of love of 2 years…
RB:
…even I have a story….you wanna listen…see it is about racism, discrimination between white dogs and black dogs…
LB:
Not today ya…you know, I worked bloody hard on Love, Wrinkle-free for 2 years..do you even know what that means…two fucking years of my youth…
RB:
ok, now you are telling me that you are in your youth?!!
LB:
See, precisely why i wanted to make Love, Wrinkle-free…how can one stay young forever…why this obsession to photoshop every damn wrinkle out of your butt..i mean why…
RB:
but why blame Adobe Photoshop bugger…they are not like some Taliban…
LB:
love, wrinkle-free is for people like you…Seriously man, Love, Wrinkle-free is the Hyderabad Blues of this generation…
RB:
it is good to be an optimist, but don’t be stupid bugger…
LB:
What stupid…If a middle class guy like me could make a movie, things are changing in india and Indian films…
RB:
Yeah but the roads to the Love, Wrinkle-free theatres are full of craters…
LB:
Fuck roads ya…roads will soon be obsolete…helicopters will be the norm…people will go to watch movies in helicopters soon…
RB thinks about it…
RB:
Are you planning to make a Love, Wrinkle-free part 2
LB gives him a cold stare…
LB:
i hate sequels…the only sequel i liked was Waisa Bhi hota hai part 2! in any case, does life have a sequel?
RB:
deepak chopra thinks so…
LB (ignoring him):
…the reviews have just started coming in yaar…
RB:
Does it matter if they say good or bad…you still have to take care of your 2 year old daughter when your wife goes to work tomorrow no?
LB (ignoring it again):
The initial reviews have been pretty good…
RB:
Come bugger, don’t stress yourself, let’s go and have a fruit salad now
LB:
Here I am talking of my dreams, and you are thinking of Fruit Salad?!!!
RB:
…why can’t you dream of Angelica Jolie’s bee stung lips instead?!
LB:
Movies are my passion idiot…passion…you know what that word means?!!! Bee stung lips it seems?!
RB:
Eating fruit salad is my passion…what is wrong?!
LB:
…my movie, I am setting her free today to be judged by the world….i feel naked…
RB:
Put on some edible lingerie….
LB smacks RB on his head.
LB: i hope…Word of mouth is going to take Love, Wrinkle-free to a lot of people. It is a fun film man…and there have been so few fun films in the indie space…
RB(Moaning):
Who do you think you are…some kinda indie-saint to spread happiness all around…anyways, don’t worry, not many know about your movie? There is not even a bloody hoarding…even underwear companies have hoardings these days
LB:
Love, Wrinkle-free is not an underwear…it is my movie…my dream can’t be hung up there in some bloody hoarding for all and sundry to stare at…
RB:
You are losing it bugger, big time you are losing it…
LB:
I can feel it…lakhs of people are waiting for the Box Office to open tomorrow, and just like when the new version of the iPhone hits the stores, there will be a stampede to buy tickets…I can feel it…there is like a love, wrinkle-free wave out there…
RB(looks around):
Where?!
LB feels the air around him. Closes his eyes
LB:
Feel it…and you can feel it only when you stop talking…
RB closes his eyes and tries hard to feel it
RB:
..ok ok…now let’s go…even your bloody uncle Woody Allen never said that you can’t have feni or fruit salad on the day of the release..
LB:
Watch your words!!! And don’t get Woody Allen into this mess man…
RB:
…Everyone should pick their own nose….or Everyone should wear their own underwear
LB:
What is that?!
RB:
i have quotes too…like Allen
LB:
Allen is classy man…you are cheap…
RB:
Hey how are you guys related?!
LB gives him that look….and walks away hurt
RB:
Bugger, I was just kidding of course,…chill ..where are you going?
LB:
I am going home…I think I have some edible lingerie at home…i am starving…
RB:
Got some feny?
LB nods. RB runs after him and joins him…
RB:
…you did your best bugger…put your heart, soul, brain and groin into the film, now let’s have some feni and edible…whatever that thingy is…, dig into your next script, and soon you will be into your second film mode….c’mon man…this is the 21st century, you gotta be cool..
So who will have the last laugh – Sandeep Mohan’s Right Brain or Left Brain? It all depends entirely on you.
