RAAKH (Ashes to Ashes) Teaser
Bombay, twenty years ago, a twenty-four year old from Carter road, Bandra got together with a slightly older beardo from Byculla, put together a team and realised their dream...
Most of us, were first timers (you may recognise some of the names in the credits below) and there was an innocence, an energy that brought us all together. Every day of shoot, of post-production was pure unadulterated joy and was somehow untouched by the cynicism that marks our trade.
RAAKH is presently unavailable to rent or buy and has never (officially) been on Tv. Asif & I are working on a twentieth anniversary edition. Till then, here’s a small snippet, enjoy
and welcome to 20 10!
Aditya B.
Here's a New York Times, Reader Review from June 18th, 2008:
Aamir as Aamir at his adamant best-Ashes to Ashes.
This dark movie is set in the bizarre twilight zone of the degenerate and venomous world of the Bombay underworld ,where there is only one vice that rules-might is right,
it's protagonists search for their own existence in alignment with their ideals for justice and an uneven fairplay and use each other as pawns in a game of violence and corruption .
Amir is a rebellious scion of a well to do muslim family who in a rash act of rage provokes the gang rape of his hindu girlfriend by a group of mafia men .
The graphic unsentimentality of the act at night in a desolate public spot is chilling .
The relationship breaks up ,the girl shuns him and her indifference to any mode of justice drives the youth to extremes ,he elopes and lives with social outcasts,where he is helped by a rather shady cop who works outside the parameters of judiciary.
Amir is totally natural and very affective as the angry,violent and impulsive youth ,this is his definitive best act as yet and he needs to go back to his roots as this was his second movie itself,his raw dynamic talent resounds in every scene and the minimalist cinema with expressionist photography enhances his violent deadly role,he is matched by the rather insanely dishonest cop played by Pankaj Kapur and Supraya Pathak as the rape victim who blames him for the incidence in a powerful role,the police are indifferent as there are no witnesses and the victim will not report the crime ,although it is acknowledged .
the brilliant young director has a frustrating setting for a social comment on a grim subject, the perception of acquisition of justice and the means to aquire it , both are unimportant as the net result is more violence and the act leads to anarchy and nihilism, this is a very profoundly affective cinema beautifully shot with minimal dialogues and light , the brooding shadows reflect the title itself which refers to the ashes of the remnants of the living characters in a metaphor as their existence has been reduced to a void which can never be filled .
The finale is bleak and the desperation of the human existence is shown to be damned forever with no hope of redemption , the conclusion is left open to the audience .
This is an anthology of violence , justice and lost youth within the framework of an unjust social hypocrisy where law is invalid and might is right , that might be unreasonable but it could be a universal truth , nevertheless Aditya and Amir create a dark masterpiece which goes beyond it's baroque , brooding beauty with hypnotically lit frames that remind you of the psychological impact and spirituality of the works by Caravaggio and La Tour , an eerie light that explores the human soul and questions it's conscience , the answer is inconclusive but still great cinema .

Amongst the New Indian films…Bombay came up with at least one original and lively example…Ashes to Ashes tries hard and successfully to go beyond the clichés of Hindi melodrama and its young director, grandson of one of India’s most famous filmmakers, Bimal Roy, deserves congratulations for that.

Raat bhar diye jalte sooraj ko humne jo kaandhe
Paaon mein andheron ke jo humne hain jugnoo baandhe
Khudaya jo bhi jalta nazara raha
Hamare is lahu se nikhra hua
Zameen jagti hai ye aasmaan janta hai
Zameen mangti hai jo aasmaan maanta hai
Rago me jo thahra wohi beh raha hai
Salaam uspe jo is zameen pe mita hai..
Khoon mein nahaye hue jismon se poocho
Is zameen pe jaan lutane ka maza hai kya
Nafraton ki saans phooli hai aaj kaise
Raakh jisne ghar kiya hai uski saza hai kya
Andhere ki jo intahaan hai..
Savere ki wo ibtedaa hai..
Khudaya jo bhi jalta nazara raha
Hamare is lahoo se nikhra hua
Zameen jagti hai ye aasmaan janta hai
Zameen mangti hai jo aasmaan maanta hai
Rago me jo thahra wohi beh raha hai
Salaam uspe jo is zameen pe mita hai..
Milke chalein to manzilein khud aa mili hain
Sung chale to ban gaya wo kafila hai kya
Hausla ab naa thake tum ye to socho
Paaon bhar ka rasta bhi faasla hai kya
Dukhoon ki bas yahi saza hai
Kiya khushi ko ab riha hai
Khudaya jogi jalta nazara raha
Hamare is lahoo se nikhra hua
Zameen jagti hai ye aasmaan janta hai.
Zameen mangti hai jo aasmaan maanta hai
Rago me jo thahra wohi beh raha hai
Salaam uspe jo is zameen pe mita hai..

RAAKH REDUX L.A. TEASER
RAAKH Redux (Ashes to Ashes,) the brand new version of my 1989 first feature (its now 20 minutes shorter and Widescreen,) has been invited by IFFLA (the 8th Indian Film Fest of LA) for its world premiere 20th anniversary screening, at the ArcLight Hollywood on the 24th of April.
The ArcLight is probably one of my favourite cinemas in the world.
Last week whilst 'making' the newer version with Sreekar Prasad, my editor, I asked him how many movies he had edited? (Sreekar started his career with moi, in fact won the prestigious National Award for RAAKH - and then went on to win atleast 6 more!) He asked including shorts and commercials? I said no, just features and he said 'I'm not sure but I think its over 350...'
Yes, Thats ThreeHundred&Fifty; features!!!
Can you believe that. And he's my age.
Ouch!
Writer/Director Aditya Bhattacharya’s dystopian vision of modern India made Raakh an instant cult classic when released in 1989 and immediately became a benchmark film for gangster noir from which celebrated directors like Sudhir Mishra, Ram Gopal Varma and Vinod Chopra drew inspiration. The film was one of Bollywood multi-hyphenate Aamir Khan’s first starring roles and won for him a Filmfare award Best Actor nomination and a jury mention at the Indian National Awards. Pankaj Kapur won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film also marked the debut of Sreekar Prasad, who won the National Award for Best Editing and ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan...

Aamir Khan (pronounced [ˈaːmɪr ˈxaːn]) (born: Aamir Hussain Khan on 14 March 1965) is an Indian film actor, director, and producer who has established himself as one of the leading actors of Hindi cinemaStarting his career as a child actor in his uncle Nasir Hussain's film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973), Khan began his professional career eleven years later with Holi (1984) and had his first commercial success with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). He received his first National Film Award as a Special Jury Award for his roles in the films Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Raakh (1989).[3] After eight previous nominations during the 1980s and 1990s, Khan received his first Filmfare Award for Best Actor for his performance in the major grosser Raja Hindustani (1996)[4][5] and later earned his second Best Actor award for his performance in the Academy Award-nominated Lagaan, which also marked the debut of his own production company.Following a four-year break from acting, Khan made his comeback playing the title role in the historical drama Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005), and later won a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his role in Rang De Basanti (2006). The following year, he made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par, for which he received the Filmfare Award for Best Director. This was followed by the thriller Ghajini (2008), which became the highest grossing film of that year, and the comedy 3 Idiots (2009), which was the highest-grossing Bollywood film as of 2010On 30 November 2011, Khan was appointed as national brand ambassador of UNICEF to promote child nutrition.[7] He is part of the government organised IEC campaign to raise awareness about malnutrition.The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2003 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010 for his contributions towards the arts.[9][10][11] In April 2013, he was among TIME magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. Aamir Khan began his film career at the age of 8, as a child actor in a home production, made by Nasir Hussain, titled Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973)[22] and Madhosh (1974). Eleven years later, he made his adult acting debut in a role that went quite unnoticed in Ketan Mehta's Holi (1984).Khan's first notable leading role came in 1988 in the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak which was directed by his cousin and Nasir Hussain's son Mansoor Khan. This film was a breakthrough commercial success, effectively launching Khan's career as a leading actor. Having the typical 'chocolate hero' looks, he was publicised as a teen idol. He also starred in critically acclaimed film Raakh, for which Khan got his first National Award for Special Jury Award. After that, he went on to appear in several other films in the late '80s and early '90s: Dil (1990), which became the highest grossing film of the year,[23] Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993) (for which he also wrote the screenplay), and Rangeela (1995). Most of these films were successful critically and commercially.[24][25][26] Other successes include Andaz Apna Apna, co-starring Salman Khan. At the time of its release the movie was reviewed unfavorably by critics, but over the years has gained a cult status , Bhanurekha Ganesan (born 10 October 1954), better known by her stage name Rekha, is an Indian film actress who has mainly appeared in Hindi films. Noted for her versatility and acknowledged as one of the finest actresses in Hindi cinema,[1] Rekha started her career in 1966 as a child actress in the Telugu film Rangula Ratnam, which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu for that year, though her film debut as a lead happened four years later with Sawan Bhadon (1970). Despite the success of several of her early films, she was often panned for her looks and it was not until the mid-to-late- published: 05 Dec 2013
