00:00Because they aren't men yet, one is losing his manhood, one is still a boy and both are
00:10behaving with each other like boys.
00:12Bollega matlab yahi hai, aur woh bolti bhi hai.
00:15You two baby, ab film dekhi?
00:18Toh yeh bolti hai ek scene mein, I am going to give you two babies, babies, the worst
00:27two days of your life.
00:28Matlab they are behaving like children.
00:31Iski wajah se humne naam aisa rakha, Mehta Boys.
00:40Not difficult, tiring.
00:44Because when you are acting, it can be tiring.
00:46Ek scene karo, toh aisa lagta hai ki ek emotional scene karo, ya ek high octane scene karo,
00:51toh aadmi thak jaata hai.
00:54Direction bhi karna hai, shot bhi karna hai, so it's tiring, not difficult.
00:58Uske ilawa, mera yeh maanna tha ki, main direct karna hu, toh set pe, camera, lighting, art
01:12direction, jo bhi, pehle se hi sab fix karke rakha tha, ki yeh mota mota yeh rehga, yeh
01:18camera movement rehga, yeh shot hum log handicamp pe karenge, yeh shot ka yeh movement rehga
01:23aur yeh shot hum log over shoulders karenge, toh wo preparation tha, toh aankhe assistant
01:29subah make-up ke waqt aankhe boli, she was very good, but I can't be deciding in the
01:38morning, toh prep ki wajah se, main free ho gaya tha.
01:47There are two or three films that come to mind like this, which are the standout father-son
01:52film or Shakti, okay?
01:57Of course it's different because the background is about duty and on either side of the law
02:02kind of situation, but it's powerful because of the bastardization.
02:08So his anger is with his father because he's abandoned the mother.
02:12So it's different.
02:13Of course it's different.
02:14And Mughal-e-Azam.
02:16And the most recent Animal.
02:17Animal.
02:18I have not seen Animal.
02:19You have not seen Animal?
02:20No, why?
02:21You have not seen Animal?
02:22No, why?
02:23You're shocked?
02:24I've not seen.
02:25I really haven't seen it.
02:26I was busy making Mehta Boys at that time.
02:30I didn't see many films during that period.
02:32So you will forgive me for not seeing it.
02:40Basically I play his daughter, inki behen and yeh do chaktaane hain, kabhi yahaan bhookamp
02:47aata hai, kabhi yahaan bhookamp aata hai, pathar girte hain.
02:50Main beech mein hoon, kabhi-kabhi pathar se bridge banane ki koshish kar rahi hoon between
02:54the chaktaane.
02:56That is what my character is.
02:57Real life me bhi behne yeh hi karte hain.
03:00I guess behne, friends, hum sab, I think sabki life mein kabhi na kabhi toh yeh situation
03:08aati hai where you have to be the umpire or step in.
03:13Nahi?
03:14Of course.
03:15The umpire cannot solve the problem.
03:18Umpire can go home eventually.
03:20Yeah, that's what finally my character who is trying to be also like her mother.
03:24Kyuki yeh unko lagta hai ki maa ki sunte hain, maa ki sunte hain.
03:28You know, ab maa nahi hai toh, okay, maa ne kaise kiya?
03:31So, and uske khud ki, it's not just, matlab this is not just, this is a part of her zindagi,
03:38uski zindagi aur bhi, matlab families in America, so wo sab bhi hai.
03:42So she's trying to, she tries, then she leaves yaar.
03:47Matlab, kamaal hoon.
03:50Tum sambhalo bhai.
03:57Copy no, inspired for sure.
03:59Copying is to say that we, but Manmohan Desai actually I love because he used to do some
04:07suspension of disbelief bolte, he used to buy into it, he used to buy into it but he
04:12wants ki, matlab dikhana hai ki, Amar, Akbar aur Anthony, khoon upar ja rahe hain aur phir
04:18neeche aa rahe hain aur maa ke andar.
04:21What is he saying?
04:22You see, yaar yeh science is impossible but he's saying the blood of all these three
04:32becomes the blood of the mother, the country.
04:36What a lovely thought.
04:37So you, you can make fun of that but see what he's trying to say.
04:42In his own way, Rishikesh Mukherjee, it is, it is, I would like to believe that it's,
04:48there's a, I would like to believe it's got the decency of Rishikesh Mukherjee.
04:55And simplicity of Rishikesh Mukherjee.
04:58Absolutely.
05:00Hopefully I would like to say, if at all people appreciate, there's a certain grace to the film.
05:05Even though there are some very, you know, there is the great Billy Wilder who I love
05:12very much.
05:14Woh writer-director the, aur Robert Benton, jinnone Kramer vs. Kramer kar film banayi
05:19thi.
05:20So, for me, I had an opportunity to meet him.
05:24Yeah, Alex called me one day and said, when are you coming?
05:27You coming tomorrow or you coming day after?
05:28I said day after.
05:29He's saying, come tomorrow.
05:30I said, I didn't come tomorrow.
05:32See I'm having dinner with Robert Benton.
05:35And because we bonded on these films.
05:39He's saying, just come.
05:41I couldn't go.
05:42He met Robert Benton.
05:44And I'm inspired by that.
05:45The simplicity.
05:47He's telling a story about a husband and a wife and a child.
05:51It might sound like a soap opera.
05:52It's not.
05:54What a beautiful film Kramer was.
05:57So these are the people I'm inspired by.
