00:00Do you want to say anything to the cast members?
00:10Sorry, my phone. I don't know if it, I will speak in English. Yeah. I don't know if it
00:20breaks, more than breaking it sometimes, you know, like, mirroring what's also there.
00:25And we are even, I think, shy to, still shy to kind of explore and show what also happens
00:32for real. So, I don't know if it's, it's more that for me. That's what I would say.
00:39I think, like, carrying on to what she said, it's acceptance. Because we often punish women.
00:46We don't accept them the way they are. So, with the title Girls Will Be Girls, we want to say
00:52that we should accept what it is and embrace our awkwardness, our vulnerabilities, like that.
01:06I am also an actor.
01:08You are not an actor, you are quite an impersonator.
01:14Challenging scene would be, there was this scene where I had to drink a lot of milkshake.
01:23So.
01:24Strawberry milkshake.
01:25Strawberry milkshake. So, I had tested it, I liked it a lot. So, I was very excited that we will do this scene now.
01:32But, I almost forgot that Suchi ma'am is a director who does about 10 to 15 takes.
01:39So, in my first five itself, I drank so much that the rest of the takes were very difficult.
01:46And then I had to take a one hour break because my stomach was not responding well.
01:52So, that was the most difficult scene for me.
01:56The three of us actually, in fact, everyone sitting here, we are very good dancers.
02:00And there are very good dance sequences in this film.
02:04But it's challenging when we were shooting in the film because we couldn't use sound because we wanted good audio.
02:12So, everything was on mute. And Keshav and Kani were dancing very well.
02:16And I didn't want to be happy in that scene.
02:18So, I was standing quietly and they were dancing in silence.
02:21And it was very difficult for me to be in tension in that scene because they were dancing so well that I was laughing.
02:26So, I had to stop that and watch them perform.
02:35For me, I think this dance scene, I think mainly for me was how Anila would dance rather how I would dance.
02:41So, I don't have a specific scene.
02:45For me, all scenes were quite difficult to understand this character.
02:49I think that was the most difficult part of the whole film for me, the story.
02:53How do I play this person and it's not like she's right and wrong and how to find a grey side of a person.
03:01And Shuchi and actually Preeti, I would say these two really helped me to find the character.
03:06So, yeah, it was not one particular scene for me to always get her right in every scene.
03:12I don't think I have succeeded in all scenes.
03:14When I watch the film, I'm like, here it's going away.
03:26What is there to criticise in someone's growing up story?
03:31It's a very simple story.
03:33It's a very simple story.
03:35I don't think it will invite criticism.
03:37And we've travelled a lot and won awards at festivals.
03:41So, I'm confident that more or less the themes are universal and people will enjoy watching the film.
03:49And it's people's right to criticise.
03:51So, let's do it.
03:54Yeah, I think that sums it up.
03:57Reviews we would be looking forward to which are I suppose still left.
04:00But I think the whole year we've gone through that journey.
04:03And the film has already had some amazing critical acclaim.
04:07And yeah, look forward.
04:12What is the film about?
04:15The issue for women and for men also is patriarchy.
04:18And the film takes it on quite head on without being preachy.
04:23If you watch it, you'll understand.
04:25Yeah, wait and see.
04:31What is the film about?
04:34One takeaway.
04:36Talk to your mothers.
04:38Because they don't get to speak often.
04:42And they suppress their emotions.
04:44So, if after the film we can call them up and ask them how they are doing.
04:48That would be the best takeaway.
04:52For me, I think it came from Shuchi to me.
04:58We are complex people.
05:00We are not one of a kind.
05:03To keep an open eye to accept people with all their grey.
05:11I thought the story made me widen my spirit to accept all different kind of people.
05:19And she showed me there are such subtle differences in each people.
05:24And you can't really put them in a box or in a bottle.
05:28And that's what the story gave it to me.
05:32And I think a story can give people a lot of things.
05:35I don't want to reduce it to one thing.
05:37That's what they should take away.
05:41Entertainment.
05:42Strawberry milkshake.
05:46Keshav.
05:51As an actor or as a person?
05:53Audience.
05:57As a person, individual, I would say it is
06:00People could hurt others without having the intention of that.
06:05So, just be more mindful.
06:07That is the cutest way you could have justified and found.
06:10Oh, that was so sweet.
06:12Nice one.
06:16I mean, his character, at the end of the movie you find out he is a murderer.
06:20So, it kind of becomes unredeemable.
06:25So, I don't know.
06:27If you don't take that away from this, I am sorry.
06:32It's a slice of life film.
06:34And a very very sensitive film.
06:36What people should take away from it is just relationships.
06:40And all relationships have their own fingerprinting, I suppose.
