Default Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola: 5 insanely cool scenes that prove Pankaj Kapur's brilliance

Did you know Pankaj Kapur is a teetotaller in real life? You wouldn't if you saw him teetering drunkenly at the edge of a village well, barking obscenities at it and getting offended that it was answering back.

There are several spoilers ahead. So if you haven't seen Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, do come back to this write-up later once you have.

For those who do not care about spoilers, there are several scenes that teeter on the brink of greatness but they dissolve before your eyes as Bhardwaj cannot decide whether to give in to the absurd, romanticise Maoism, play safe with a bankable lead pair or make a seriously political film.

The man who made Jahangir Khan a legend, Kapur easily gives one of his career's brilliantly delightful performances in what can only be termed as absurdist cinema.

Scene 1: Landowner Harry Mandola has a side to him known to all, feared by the people of the village named after his forefathers and occasionally indulged by his educated driver Matru. The slightly cruel and mostly money-minded Mandola sparks terror in the hearts of those around him when sober. But down a few drinks he becomes the amiable Hariya, forgetting his bearing and instigating the villagers to raise a cry of revolt against him. In slurred speech, the ridiculously drunk Kapur then bursts into a war song and leads a protest march to his own mansion to demand the land rights of the peasants. Kapur is unfettered in his madness and the scene gets better when he dives drunkenly into his pool, emerges sober and sets out with a glint of steel in his eyes to meet these unfortunate villagers, shotgun in hand.

Scene 2: The two-seater plane he has taken for a joyride catches fire and like a character straight out of a Gogol or Kakfa novel, Mandola, drunk as ever, reaches around at the back of his seat to get one last drink before he and Matru jump to safety, parachutes strapped to their back. He has a cigar in hand and looks around for a box of matches, notices the flaming tip of the plane and reaches out to light his smoke.

Scene 3: The slightly slimy and deliciously nasty Deviji, the chief minister of Haryana, played by the brilliant Shabana Azmi matches Kapur wit for wit as they flirt in the corn fields. The sensuality of the two ageing characters, united in their lust for power and money, is underplayed by the sheer charm of a recovering drunk and a plotting antagonist.

Scene 4: A quiet, emotional scene between Mandola and his daughter Bijlee on the day of her wedding when the father in Harry has an internal debate with the ambitious industrialist in him on whether to trade his daughter for the greater good (as per his conviction) of the village. He's fooling no one and a disappointed Bijlee reads his thoughts as if they were etched on his forehead.

Scene 5: All his moments facing Gulabo, the pink buffalo, are delightful. In reality, buffaloes aren't much of a threat to anyone, but to Kapur they symbolize the inner demons he has been keeping at bay for years. We are given a hint during a tirade by his daughter on her mother's untimely death. As Kapur fights his alcoholism he also wrestles the devil in him which threatens to spring forth the moment he lets his guard down.

मटरू की बिजली का मनडोला

पियक्कड़ बाप के साथ हॉट बेटी कैसे रह सकती है आखिरकार पियक्कड़ बाप को होश कहां रहता है. पर हाल ही में कुछ दिनों से चर्चा में रही पियक्कड़ बाप और हॉट बेटी की जोड़ी सभी को पंसद आ रही है यहां तक कि लोग जमकर तारीफ भी कर रहे हैं. वैसे जो भी हो जब अदाएं हॉट हों तो फिर वो जोड़ी पियक्कड़ बाप के साथ ही क्यों ना हो लोगों को पसंद आती ही है. कुछ ऐसा ही आपको ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ फिल्म में देखने को मिल रहा है . 11 जनवरी को विशाल भारद्वाज की फिल्म ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ रिलीज हुई है और यह फिल्म हरियाणा जैसे शहरों की वास्तविक स्थिति से संबंधित है जिसमें पंकज कपूर, अनु्ष्का शर्मा, इमरान खान, आर्य बब्बर, शबाना आजमी मुख्य भूमिकाएं निभा रहे हैं.

फिल्म का नाम ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ सुनने में काफी दिलचस्प लग रहा है और कुछ लोगों का यह भी कहना है कि फिल्म का नाम दिलचस्प होने के कारण इसे बड़े पर्दे पर देखने जाया जा सकता है. ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ फिल्म में मंडोला बने हैं पंकज कपूर जो कि एक गांव के पैसे वाला उद्योगपति है और जो सिर्फ शराब को ही अहमियत देता है. इस कारण वो अपनी बेटी ‘बिजली’ से भी दूर हो जाता है. इस फिल्म में ‘बिजली’ का किरदार ‘अनुष्का शर्मा’ निभा रही हैं. गांव में बहुत सारी पऱेशानियां हैं जिन्हें दूर करने का बीड़ा उठाता है पढ़ा-लिखा गंवई मटरू और इस किरदार को इमरान खान निभा रहे हैं. ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’फिल्म की कहानी कुछ इस तरह है कि पहले तो बिजली अपने शराबी पिता के खिलाफ नहीं जाती है लेकिन बाद में उसे मटरू से प्यार हो जाता है और वो अचानक मटरू की मदद करने लगती है.

फिल्म ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ में अनुष्का शर्मा, इमरान खान और पंकज कपूर का अहम किरदार है पर साथ ही इस फिल्म में शबाना आजमी और आर्य बब्बर भी अहम रोल में हैं. इस फिल्म में आर्य भी बिजली से प्यार करने लगता है जिसके कारण मटरू, बिजली और आर्य में जंग छिड़ जाती है. वैसे इस फिल्म का एक और रोचक कैरेक्टर है और वो है गुलाबो भैंस, जो कि केवल पंकज कपूर को ही दिखायी देती है. फिल्म ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’ को बड़े पर्दे पर देखने के लिए लोग इसलिए भी उत्साहित हैं क्योंकि इस फिल्म के निर्देशक विशाल भारद्वाज हैं जो अपनी फिल्म के निर्देशन में कोई भी कमी नहीं छोड़ते हैं. ‘सात खून माफ’, ‘कमीने’, ‘इश्किया’ जैसी सुपरहिट फिल्में विशाल भारद्वाज के निर्देशन में बनी हैं तो फिर जाहिर सी बात है कि लोगों को ‘मटरू की बिजली का मंडोला’फिल्म से उम्मीदे तो होंगी ही.
