movie preview courtesy the director:“I love the world of movies at that time. I think the directors, the actors, actress all of them were wonderful. They put their lives on the line every time they made a film. They had no other option in life other than being in the movies. There was no show; there was no fashion, no endorsement and no branding. They were just pure movie people who loved the movies. I am not making any sleaze show or a peek into somebody’s personal life. I am talking about that time. It’s about movies then and movies now. It’s about people who want to follow their dream”.
“It’s about two young people. It’s about the wild world of films in the 50’s. It is a love story and a complicated film about ambition. The theme of the film is that it is better to die dancing than to live a life of mediocrity. Maybe this world of movies, passion and ambition will kill us, but its great and its magical and that’s why we are here”.”
“The title Khoya Khoya Chand implies that much of our motivation is stars and to shine in the memories of people by becoming kind of immortal. That’s the main passion of the people who want to be in the movies and be creative by stamping themselves in the memories of people even when they are gone”.
“Soha plays a young girl. You will see her in the beginning of the film as a young eighteen year old girl, with her mother trying to get her into the movies. She catches the fancy of a big superstar of that time who sort of gives her a break in films. She also gets involved with him and then she is in his control. Then she bumps into this writer who is arrogant but is hugely talented. She encounters this kind of a man for the first time and that kind of opens her up. Then it’s about their complicated journey in life.”
“Shiney plays this young writer who becomes a director. He teaches Soha that you don’t have to be grateful. You are where you are because you are talented and serve a function and are useful in the films that you do. Shiney’s character doesn’t want to be here particularly, he doesn’t follow the law of the film industry. He is not a chamcha as they say. He is working purely by his talent. And in the accident called life he makes it big because he is very useful to people and corrects their films and finally becomes a writer much in demand.”
