00:00First of all, welcome to INS and the first question is that the concept of September 21 is very intriguing.
00:09So, this title points a specific date.
00:12Is this story inspired by real incident or a symbolic representation?
00:18This question is that the director has answered.
00:23So, the title of September 21 is something that is very important for the story and the subject of this
00:36film is very important.
00:40So, the date of the film will be the meaning that you will see the whole film and the whole
00:52story you will know.
00:53This film will be the premiere of Cannes Film Festival.
00:57This is just a responsibility for the film.
00:59You will get news, you will all know the actors.
01:02You will also have a responsibility for the first reaction of your film.
01:07How did you feel that the film came with a global perspective, scrutiny and intense audience?
01:13Well, tell us.
01:14Well, tell us not.
01:14Ask the director.
01:15No, not the actors.
01:17Well, I will give you my own perspective.
01:19I did not think that pairs of film.
01:23I think it is my opinion as a film.
01:25It was a film from PR, a director, production, actors, a film from my heart.
01:34You will get some achievement.
01:36I mean, I was happy for all of us.
01:40And it's okay for me.
01:42But more than us, I was happy for Shiti.
01:45Because this is going to be, his short film is premiered.
01:48And his first feature is premiered.
01:51So, it was a very exciting moment for us.
01:57And how we react, I didn't understand.
02:02So, when Shiti sent me an invitation letter to me,
02:06it was in French.
02:09Then we had to translate it to Google.
02:13Then he sent me to NFDC and FIKI.
02:16And I'm sure they will give Priyanka ma'am and Shiti a good red carpet welcome.
02:25And, I mean, we are hoping that it does wonders there.
02:35I was happy for you, because it's a global platform.
02:44And we are getting to represent Indian cinema.
02:47And it's an important subject.
02:50And the audience is also very sensitive and eclectic.
02:54There are many filmmakers here.
02:55There are many filmmakers here.
02:56So, if we can show a big audience,
03:00if we can show a big audience,
03:01then we are very happy.
03:03And Kanz has a different connection.
03:06Because I'm from Bengal.
03:08And Satyajitre Ji's film is the first time in Kanz.
03:13I'm hoping for the best.
03:14And this is a new experience for me.
03:16So, I'm looking forward to it.
03:18Yeah.
03:48I have said that it was like this, so I am so happy, I am so happy, I am so
03:56happy, I am so happy.
04:02Since the cinema of entertainment has become a social mirror,
04:21So, according to me, this is the two people actually do, but at the same time, it is told
04:31in a way, where we also entertain the audience, and we are educating them there, it has light
04:38moments, this film is intellectually and emotionally, there have been light moments also, where
04:47you know, there is also humor, but at the same time, we always tell the story about what
04:54the results of their caregivers are. So, I think it is a complete package.
05:05So, I think it is a complete package.
05:19foreign
05:45ondleta लेकिन ये film उन तमाम filmों से अलग है अलग
05:53इसलिए भी है कि ऐसक्त ऐसा है अलजाइमर विशकी उपर कर में ये
06:00इसका पूरा जो खाका त्यार हुआ है और मैं उसका
06:06uaisन हूं तो इस पे रिसर्च वर्क करने से लेके फिल्म में
06:15ुपूरा प्रोसेस है न वही हमारे पिछले जितने भी काम है उससे अलग है तो उमीद करता हूं कि जैसे
06:23हमारे पिछले काम को लोगोंने पसंद किया है सेप्टेमबर 21 को भी उतना ही प्यार दें भरपूर प्यार दें
06:31You are a seasoned actor, who has a very impactful role in television and television media.
06:39In September 2021, your character is an emotional or moral anchor.
06:45And your role is different from previous work?
06:48What do you explore?
06:52The story is very personal.
06:56The story is very personal.
06:58And the director has been shooting.
07:03And our co-actors have become a chemistry.
07:06This is an emotional bond that is seen.
07:12And you don't do a documentary for cinema.
07:18You do a documentary.
07:21Cinema is about storytelling.
07:24It's entertainment.
07:26And this doesn't mean entertainment.
07:28It's just like ha ha ha.
07:30It's a struggle.
07:31It's a struggle.
07:32It's a struggle.
07:33Entertainment has a lot of meaning.
07:35And I think that many days later,
07:39I got a interesting work.
07:41And I think that this is my career.
07:47Basically, I think the way of it is to support the film to be a character,
07:50I think then the film is going to be a character.
07:54And I think that it's a really good thing.
08:01I feel like it's not going to be an actor.
08:02It's like I'm not a character,
08:03I was told that it was possible to go for Cannes.
08:07But there is always a chance to be acting good.
08:13So, it doesn't matter about that.
08:17So, we didn't know that.
08:18And the film depends on the journals.
08:20Yes, absolutely.
08:21If it's logical and historical,
08:32I think it's very real.
08:34And I think it's a reality.
08:36That's why we're all happy.
08:39We've said that we're going to make a good film.
08:42It's a good job.
08:44It's a good job.
08:46One more thing.
08:47When the film is released,
08:53we're not able to do anything.
08:55In Cannes Film Festival,
08:58there are many films that are good.
09:02There are awards and nominations.
09:05But what happens in India?
09:07What happens in your opinion?
09:08What happens in Indian audience?
09:13So, actually,
09:15Basu Charakter Ji told me that
09:17there are two types of filmmakers.
09:19One is caterers and one is creators.
09:21So, caterers,
09:23who create a cinema for the audience.
09:26And creators,
09:27who create a cinema for their creativity.
09:30So, I think Shiti,
09:31right now for this film,
09:33she's a creator.
09:33And she wants to give her own message.
09:36So, there was no doubt
09:37that it will go into Cannes
09:39or it will be commercially successful.
09:41So, if it's in her mind,
09:44she would have chosen another mainstream genre.
09:47I think there are many short genres
09:49that the new directors approach for commercial success.
09:54But I think she had something else in mind.
09:58And about your previous question,
10:00we try to be as natural as possible.
10:02Because the subject is a very real subject.
10:05So, it demands natural performances.
10:08So, in reality,
10:10as far as possible,
10:11we tried so much as possible.
10:13With lighting,
10:14acting,
10:14emotions,
10:15everything.
10:16And, yeah.
10:17So, commercial success,
10:18I don't think anyone can predict what is.
10:22I mean,
10:22it has also happened that
10:23it doesn't have a lot of big films.
10:26So, it depends.
10:27And it has also happened that
10:28people have watched a lot of sensitive films
10:29and appreciated.
10:31Apart from critical acclaim.
10:32But, yeah.
10:34I think she has done this for a bigger cause.
10:37Which is something she had in mind,
10:39in her heart.
10:40And so have all of us, actually.
10:43Preeti,
10:44a second question is that
10:45you work in Kannada,
10:46Tamil,
10:47and many regional industries.
10:49When you work in a project,
10:51when you are working on a project,
10:52you are working on a project.
10:54So,
10:54what do you think
10:55that Indian regional cinema
10:56has finally reached that level?
11:05I think that's what I was saying.
11:08The first film was in Kannes.
11:08Satyajitre's film was in Kannes.
11:10The thing is his first film went to Kannes.
11:12The other film was in Kannes.
11:14The other film is Raj Mowli.
11:15Yes.
11:16They have all of them.
11:18He's particularly acclaimed.
11:20And we have good film festivals in India also.
11:24Our film festivals have also good.
11:26Look at the film festival, it's very happy for us.
11:29But I think the main happiness comes from the fact that the content of the film is good.
11:36And that the performances are so wonderful.
11:38Praveen Ji's performance is phenomenal.
11:40I think definitely he should get a national award for this award.
11:47It's nice when people recognize your work abroad also.
11:51But there are some personal standards that we reach.
11:55As actors and human beings.
11:57So I think they keep a lot of meaning for us.
12:01When will you tell us about your character?
12:05My artist is called Kamala and she's a caregiver.
12:10A Tamil Brahmin caregiver.
12:12She comes from a low income group.
12:15Emotionally, there are a lot of things in her past and present situation.
12:21So if you watch the movie, you'll know what else is.
12:25But apart from that, I think she's a very strong woman.
12:30Whatever she has, she takes it as it is.
12:34And I felt that she's emotionally very strong.
12:37And she really cares for the people in her life.
12:40Like genuinely.
12:40It's not just because of the work.
12:44I think from internally, she's a very caring person.
12:47So that is what I felt she was.
13:03I think the platform especially, the Can't's women agenda.
13:09I mean its line up is so strong and firstly I am very grateful that I have a chance to
13:20get a chance
13:22with my first feature film to sit on that panel. Obviously this film actually is a very
13:32very much made of love and it has to be made in this statement that it is not only for
13:42Alzheimer's patients or for their caregivers. There is also a film about it. So I think
13:52it is all about my work that I have made a film and I think it is on the audience
14:00that
14:00they watch it. And how did it feel? I have put my word into the universe. Now it is on
14:09the audience.
14:10You should also know that the narrative of the film is both important. So during the shoot
14:16there was an important moment or scene that was emotionally intense and it impacted you.

19:29کرتے سے ہمارا یہ پورا وشواس ہے کہ ویسے میں یہ کہوں کہ ہر
19:35فلم کے اپنی قسمت ہوتی ہے ہر فلم کی قسمت ہوتی ہے اس فلم
19:40کی بھی ایک قسمت ہے اور کہتے ہیں کہ پوت کے پاؤں پالنے میں ہی
19:44نظر آتے ہیں تو جو ہماری فلم کا ٹیزر آیا یا ٹریلر آیا تو
19:49جو ریاکشنز within انڈسٹری ملا ہے باہر کے فین سے ملے ہیں وہ
19:54بہت ہی overwhelming ہے اور امید کرتے ہیں کہ ہماری فلم پسند
19:58کی جائے گی
20:00last year اگر آپ کو ایک لائن میں ڈیفائن کرنا ہوں
20:03september 21 audience کے لیے کیا لیکر آ رہی ہے تو ایک
20:06message یا ایک experience یا ایک uncomfortable truth کیا ہو
20:16uncomfortable truth یہ ہو سکتا ہے کہ this is what is happening in society
20:21and that alzheimer's is rampant
20:25بہت جن کو یہ ہے کسی جن کو پتا نہیں ہے کہ ان کو alzheimer's ہے
20:30families کو بھی پتا نہیں یا شاید پتا کرنا نہیں چاہتے ہیں
20:33ایسا بھی ہے کہ caregivers نہیں ہیں ایسا بھی ہے کہ homes میں چلے جاتے ہیں
20:38بچے فورین میں ہے and you know وہ email culture جو doctors کے ساتھ
20:42emails میں touch میں رہتے ہیں تو یہ تو uncomfortable truth ہے اور
20:48the other side of the coin is that ایسا بھی ہے کہ people are looking into it
20:52that there are people who still care for their elderly parents and their loved ones
20:57بچے you know they are taking care of their parents also so i think یہ film سے یہ
21:02message تو ہوگی کہ alzheimer's is a clinical issue that یہ خالی memory loss نہیں ہے
21:08اس میں بہت کچھ elements ہیں جو ہمیں اس کو سمجھنا چاہیے اور اس کا
21:13prevention کرنا چاہیے یا proper treatment کرنا چاہیے with love not with you know
21:18just by treating them just like a patient it's very sensitive because
21:23اس میں یاداش جو ہے وہ کتنا important ہے ہمارے لئے
21:26ایک minute اگر ہم سوچیں گے کہ without our memories ہم کیا ہے
21:29like ہماری memories ہمیں inspire کرتے ہیں ہمیں like
21:33جیویت رکھتے ہیں actually memories
21:35اگر memories ہی کھو جائے تو you know life will become very blank
21:39it's very scary to even think so یہ جو sensitive point ہے یہ بہت
21:44important ہے یہ movie میں and i think people should think about it
21:47try to not know about it try to understand what alzheimer's is so i think
21:52to give this movie a watch for that
21:55lastly fans کو کیا message دینا چاہیے کیا کیا کیا
