00:00foreign
00:17Yes, I am a woman producer from Maharashtra and I have been shooting this film in Bihar.
00:50I was sold for the story.
00:52But when this film was shooting in Bihar, a director and a producer started a little bit.
01:00As you see in Maharashtra, women are already very progressive.
01:06The first doctor was from Maharashtra.
01:09I was clear that this film is a woman centric.
01:13But if it is a woman centric, then Bihar is a very beautiful place.
01:18When the director took us there, it was the administration and the people who helped us and supported us.
01:27And this time, you will see that in Bihar, 70% of women voted.
01:32So, definitely, our first point was that if you are making a film,
01:39you are making a film, you are making a film, you are making a film, you are making a film.
01:46But at the end of the day, they should have one thought that we want to put in their mind.
01:50Of change.
01:53Kuntah, you thought that in the picture, you are looking at the scooter and scooter.
01:57Yes.
01:58And how do you portray this character?
02:00How do you portray this character?
02:01How do you portray this character?
02:20And how do you portray this character?
02:23Nowadays, it is often when there's a rebellion of a woman who comes to that.
02:26My name is in that room.
02:29And I am so glad that I got the opportunity to play Rajnikki Bahrat.
02:34Look, I am a woman alone.
02:36So, I understand Bihar and the family of Bihar.
02:41And it was just the time that Bihar came to evolve.
02:44It evolved compared to a lot of other states.
02:46Our Sanskritis is a lot of rich.
02:48But at the same time, it has been very difficult for girls to come out and take stand in fact
02:55education
02:57But now, the fact that Rajni Bahrad is based in Darbhanga and their town
03:04So, I think that there will be an icon for their children
03:14So, Rajni will leave her home and leave her home with her husband
03:20She wants to marry with her husband
03:23And when you watch the film, which is why Rajni will have to go to Barat
03:28It will become very difficult
03:31So, I am very excited to see what reaction to the audience
03:34How do you touch the traditional set-up of patriarchy and control issues
03:42How do you think that the audience will not accept the social media
03:48Yes, I mean, you can see that when women have been
03:56And again, I want to say that women's empowerment is not possible without men
04:02So, I am very excited to see that women have been empowered by women
04:06Because we all know that the world was very patriarchy
04:09And now things have changed, the world is changing in the 21st century
04:14You can see women's good, you can see women's good
04:17But women are not reaching where they are
04:19And that was necessary
04:21And at the same time, Rajni Bahrad, Rajni Bahrad, I think it is a very social shock message
04:26It is definitely a challenge for patriarchy
04:29And Tanaya, what do you want to say?
04:32Definitely, I think that today men and women have equal opportunities
04:38So, we are making equal opportunities for this film
04:43You know, a man and a woman are complete when they come together
04:47That's what I feel
04:48You know, that's what I feel
04:49You know, only man or woman are complete
04:51You know, I don't support this concept
04:54At least, we don't support this concept
04:56It's about equal opportunity for everyone
04:58You know, so we, and society also want to
05:02You know, some films come socially driven
05:05Because now, this is a film
05:07We also take it to a channel, the music label
05:11So, we think that if we shoot from Bihar by Bihar
05:17political drama but people want to see a plain love story also from Bihar.
05:47It's very simple but I would say that his head is so strong that he knows how to answer the
05:56answer and how to get rid of it.
06:02So I think that it's a right in our country, in our country, in our country and in our country.
06:08And we need to be able to prove it with such small examples.
06:12We need to be able to prove it.
06:14The film is vibrating and energetic.
06:18But there is a lot of emotion in this town.
06:21So you remember shooting this scene?
06:25Yes, absolutely.
06:26We have done a full film in a schedule.
06:29And we have shot Darbhanga city.
06:33So I remember especially the scene of Baraat.
06:35I remember the scene of Baraat.
06:36We have shot the scene overnight.
06:40Over a pan of two days.
06:42So when we were shooting,
06:44people already had so much interest.
06:46They were looking forward to seeing what they are doing on the scooter.
06:50What are the people doing on the scooter?
06:52What are the people doing on the scooter?
07:04They were dancing and dancing and dancing.
07:07They were dancing and dancing.
07:08So we have shot the actual locations.
07:11We have gone and shot entirely on real locations.
07:14There are no sets.
07:15Real people have been involved in this whole thing.
07:19So especially Baraat's song,
07:21it's been shooting live, real reactions.
07:28I was like that and I know that everything is taking place.
07:36And I know that it's difficult to make this.
07:39But I know that it was a very necessary decision.
07:43So why did it not happen to me now?
07:45To me it's a little question.
07:47But after that, I started to hang out.
07:48And I had a lot of excitement on my friends.
07:51I mean, it's true that in our film, Ashwat Sahar, Sunita Ma'am, Zarina Ma'am
08:01I got to learn a lot, there are a lot of senior actors
08:04But also in our film, Bihar's local talent is active
08:11And I feel that they all have the charm
08:13They all have the highlight behind the scenes
08:17They all have the highlight
08:20And I think it's a very good decision
08:23What happens when you watch Bollywood
08:26If it's a Punjab film, there are castes from Mumbai
08:30In Bihar's story, there are a lot of Bihar people who don't cast
08:33I think I'm very lucky that Bihar always had to give a tribute to me
08:38And Rajnik Barat is my tribute to my Bihar and Mithla culture
08:44So, when you watch the film, you will know how talented you are
08:49Because you all have the French circle actors
08:51They are very talented
08:52And they have the gift of their language
08:55And they don't feel like you are going to be completely
08:59Correct, I want to add something
09:00Because I want to say that we won't take a lot of crew from Bombay
09:03We have hired locals
09:06We have trained locals
09:08And we got them to shoot within the stipulated time
09:12Because you know, you go to an independent cinema
09:15So how difficult the cost is to bring it to us because this film is an independent film.
09:22We don't have any backing from any big support from any bigger banner.
09:27So I would like to say that we have local theatre artists,
09:32some people who have never faced the camera.
09:36This was their first film.
09:37We have tried and accommodated as many locals, not only in production, but also as actors.
09:45Kunta, you need to know that you have a camera like a film.
09:49A series is rated film.
09:51There is a lot of use.
09:54After that, you can see that you have a typical masala type.
10:01How do you use it?
10:02How do you use it in the industry?
10:06How do you use it in the industry?
10:06You know, this film was the first time I watched Kerala.
10:10Last year, in March-April,
10:12I actually did a film shoot with it in Vishakha.
10:15That film will be very soon.
10:18And I got a call in the academy.
10:22And then, for the film, I got my hands on my hands.
10:25It was like Rajani Jha.
10:28It's a mixed-like film.
10:31And it's a Hindi film.
10:32So, I felt like this was the same thing.
10:35And I felt like that one-liner was very good.
10:38That the girl is only taking her back.
10:41And the fact that we were shooting directly in Dharmandha.
10:44In general, someone who listens to this actor,
10:46says that she is shooting in Bihar.
10:48No, no, Baba.
10:49But I don't know how to say Bihar.
10:50I don't know how to say Bihar is.
10:51Because my city is in Dharmandha.
10:54And I was very happy.
10:58And I was very happy in Dharmandha.
11:01Well, after the film,
11:04I lived again in Dharmandha.
11:07And I was very happy.
11:07And I just sent in Japan an appointment.
11:08They called me to be here.
11:10And I thought,
11:13would you like to come?
11:14And then I was very happy to talk to you.
11:16It's been a long time for a long time. It's been a long time for a long time.
11:22It's been a long time for a long time and it's been a long time for a long time.
11:25I really hope that the audience has seen the story of the first time.
11:34Raji will definitely entertain you.
11:37You know, in OTT and cinema, there are lots of great stories.
11:42In Hollywood, it's been a male-oriented and male-oriented audience.
11:47Does the industry change or does it change?
11:52I've always thought about it from my childhood.
11:55I don't want to give a lot of intellectual answers.
11:59I've also done TV and films.
12:03It has to do a lot with the demography of our country.
12:05It's not that filmmakers don't want to make a women-oriented concept.
12:10They want to make an examiner.
12:13So, film is a society's identity.
12:16In which society can make a film,
12:19or they can connect people with relevant stories.
12:22Some filmmakers don't think about box office, numbers and profits,
12:29but it's completely different from the society.
12:31In that time, it was a time when films are made for men, for men.
12:38So, when you watch films,
12:40there was always a male gaze for women.
12:44How do they look aesthetically?
12:46How do they get a dream girl?
12:47How do they get item numbers?
12:49Contrary, if you watch TV series,
12:51there were shows and concepts like this.
12:54They were made by the people who were most popular as women.
12:55Because their main audience had women.
12:57They were not having a family.
12:58So, the audience of the other people who are making films,
13:01but even when we are watching content,
13:04I feel like society has changed a lot.
13:09They are very good in their own ways.
13:10Step 3 What do you like?
13:14This is a beautiful story of a girl and she is a feminist in the sense that you believe in
13:37equality.
13:37She happens to me in a beautiful way and she's always a feminist.
13:40and of course, you have to be very smart and intelligent
13:43that is all romantic
13:45the other thing is that when I was married, when I was married, I felt like being married is a
13:53very good concept
13:54when I was married, I had to plan what I can do in the house, what I can do in
14:00the house, what I can do in the house
14:02but I felt like when I had married, I would not have to think about what I can do in
14:08the house
14:08it was a fun idea, there is only one of the girls' girls' girls' girls' girls' girls' girls and girls'
14:13girls' girls' girls' girls' girls' girls together
14:14it was also very interesting
14:16absolutely we are ready for this year for the marriage
14:19my friends are being done in their house, in their hands, in their hands, in their dance competitions
14:26that is the main question of the change
14:32It is a very simple story, but it is a very simple story.
14:37As a producer, what was the unique story of the drama?
14:44Because in epiphany, we were looking for something interesting.
14:48We were already looking for something.
14:50When Aditya had this script,
14:54I said that it was so unique.
14:59I know that Bihar is supposed to be very important in Bihar.
15:05We are not so big in Marathi.
15:09But their marriage is over night.
15:12It is a big celebration.
15:17When I came to one-liner,
15:19I thought this is a reflection of how I am thinking about it.
15:28What is the change that we are moving towards?
15:31Equal opportunity, which I am saying.
15:34So, I thought that if I make a first film,
15:38I think this is an apt subject.
15:40I think this is a very important story.
15:41In that sense, you are now in Bihar.
15:42And Bihar's marriage is a very important story.
15:49Do you remember these stories?
15:50What do you remember?
15:51What do you remember?
15:52I remember that
15:55Papa used to take us on vacation.
15:59And when we knew that we had married in our family,
16:03We had married in Bihar.
16:04So,
16:05We had to take a good vacation.
16:07Why not have we taken a trip to Kerala?
16:11We had to take a trip to Kerala.
16:13We had to choose to take a trip to Kerala.
16:15We had to choose to take a trip to Bihar.
16:16And we had to choose to take a trip to Kerala.
16:20And we had to choose to take a trip to Kerala.
16:21We had to take a trip to Kerala.
16:23We had to go to Kerala.
16:24We had to go to Kerala.
16:24We had to go to Kerala.
16:25But I am proud to say that
16:28Our Bihar is a very big emotional and emotional.
16:32In a life.
16:33For every Bihar person,
16:35I think that for every Indian,
16:40There are very emotional and emotional.
16:43But in Bihar,
16:48There are very emotional and emotional experiences.
16:51I think that
16:53I don't remember that
16:55I don't remember that.
16:56I don't remember that.
16:56Because I am in Bambaya and Bihari.
16:58But
16:58You will see this film.
17:01In our film,
17:04There will be a beautiful
17:05That will be seen.
17:09But
17:09You know what?
17:10When you experience Bihari,
17:12You will see that
17:13There will be a lot of memories.
17:14It will be less than a large party.
17:17And
17:17There's a lot of memories.
17:19It will be eating water with your cousins.
17:21To eat in Baraat.
17:22To eat in Baraat.
17:23To eat in chapel.
17:24And
17:24Just
17:25after the wedding night,
17:27Then it will be awesome.
17:28Today,
17:30People say that
17:31That
17:32If you have a big deal,
17:33or
17:33A big deal,
17:35I don't think that
17:35That's not a lot.
17:36Or
17:37I don't think that
17:49I think that there is a lot of financial reasons that people don't have a lot of financial reasons
17:53And look, the youth is changing a lot
17:57Yeah
17:57And here in cities, people don't have so much connection
18:03Life is so fast that people don't have a month for marriage
18:07People don't have a month for marriage
18:09I think it's a very personal decision
18:11And I think it should not leave everyone on it
18:15It should be their marriage
18:17You can understand it
18:19But if you ask a little girl, she would love a big fat female wedding
18:24What do you think?
18:26Good question
18:28That's why I have to give back balance
18:30Thank you
18:32OTT and OTT are both platforms
18:35OTT and OTT are both platforms
18:38They have a lot of competition
18:39So as a producer, how do you focus on the story
18:44About the show and audience
18:48Can you get different parts of the show?
18:49I want to support a new perspective from this independent film
18:57As you can see, we can go to the OTT channel, music label
19:03Where we can go to satellite rights
19:05As we say that we have shot a film in Bihar
19:10So the first thought is that
19:13Is it a crime series?
19:16Is it a political drama?
19:19Is it an IS officer?
19:23Is it an IS officer because you have an IS officer?
19:24Is it an IS officer?
19:24Or study for a web series?
19:27Yeah, of course
19:29I also asked if you have a dance number in the film.
19:35I think it's a very good idea.
19:38The idea is that if you are making something Bihar,
19:42you will sell these things.
19:45Obviously, it is important to break the mindset.
19:48I want to break the mindset.
19:51Dharbanga is so beautiful.
19:53In fact, I don't know five non-Biharis
19:55who told me that we were going to go to Bihar on vacation.
20:00Why?
20:01It is so beautiful.
20:03It is untouched.
20:04It is the birth of Sita Ji.
20:07It is the strength of Bihar.
20:10And I think that I have been there for 30 days.
20:16I have gone and shot it.
20:18I can definitely say that it is very safe.
20:22It is beautiful.
20:22And OTTs and the rest of the market
20:27that there is not a pure love story.
20:31People do a lot of cheat.
20:33I will tell you that Bihar will be a story two days.
20:36And then in Maharashtra or UP,
20:38they will go and shoot it in MP.
20:40But after this experience,
20:42and since we are the first Hindi feature film,
20:45hundred percent,
20:46which has been shooted in Dharbanga.
20:48Definitely.
20:49I am going through every single film.
20:51Either we will bring a new idea,
20:54or we will try to change or mould.
21:14We will try to work on this film.
21:15We will try to transform into Dharbanga.
21:17And we will try to do this with the show.
21:18And then I will try to transform into this film.
21:22That is the film because we want to do this.
21:22And so we are looking for interesting films.
21:24And to transform into these films.
21:25And negative videos,
21:26you will be out of this film. We want to make a film for pure masses, we are bringing it
21:34to you as an independent film.
21:38So please go and watch it for the 29th Meeko.
21:43I would like to say that your Uliqa is Rajni and she is married to Rajni. If you are your
21:54daughter, you should support your daughter in every situation.
21:58And this film will show you a different view of Bihar.
22:02A different view of Bihar will show you a different view of Bihar.
22:04And the main artist is my film. So please watch it.
22:09Please watch it.
22:10And come and join us with our daughter.
