Director Oni Sen on making Operation Safed Sagar: “We wanted the audience to feel the grit, the danger and the raw physics of combat”

Image
Making Operation Safed Sagar was not simply a matter of recreating the 1999 Kargil War on a large scale. For director Oni Sen, the challenge was to make the audience believe what they are watching might have actually happened. And that meant pushing the production far beyond conventional filmmaking. So how did they achieve it? By simply keeping it real, says Sen. “We wanted the audience to feel the grit, the danger, and the raw physics of combat. Every visual choice had to be rooted in ground truth,” the director says to Bollywood Hungama . “So, when it came to conceptualizing and executing our sequence architecture, whether complex aerial action scenes or high-stakes ground engagements, my discussion with our cinematographer, Setu (Satyajit Pande) and the entire VFX team was simple: ‘Let’s keep it real.’” That philosophy shaped everything from the way aircraft were filmed to the texture of a cockpit and even the movement of sunlight at 30,000 feet. “Setu and our visual e...

REVEALED: Arshad Warsi’s Jeevan Bheema Yojana retitled Jeevan Ya Bheema Con on CBFC’s instruction over similarity to Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana; CBFC also censors ‘obscene’ visuals and dialogues

Jeevan Ya Bheema Con , featuring Arshad Warsi in a double role, releases in cinemas today, that is, September 4. Interestingly, the film was earlier titled Jeevan Bheema Yojana . The name was changed just three days before the film was released. It has now come to light that the film had to undergo a title change due to a directive from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The CBFC passed Jeevan Ya Bheema Con with a U/A 16+ certificate. However, the film had to undergo certain changes. To begin with, ‘inappropriate’ references were suitably modified in four places. An ‘obscene’ hand gesture and visual were asked to be replaced in two places. One more ‘obscene’ visual was asked to be suitably modified in the second half. Similarly, an ‘obscene dialogue’ was suitably modified, again in the film’s post-interval portion. Lastly, the CBFC’s Examining Committee instructed the makers to replace the film’s title fr...
