Shah Rukh Khan wins his first Indian National Award, shares honour with Vikrant Massey
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday bagged his first-ever Indian National Award for his performance in the film Jawan. This feat is an ode to his illustrious career spanning over three decades. The actor shares the Best Actor award with Vikrant Massey, who won for his role in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's directorial 12th Fail. The names of the winners of the 71st Indian National Film Awards were revealed at a press briefing at the National Media Centre in New Delhi. "This is huge! Shah Rukh finally receiving his first National Award win," an X user wrote. "So so happy. Both SRK and Vikrant deserve it," another social media user commented. In January 2023, Shah Rukh made his comeback to the big screen after a four-year hiatus with YRF's Pathaan. The film created a storm at the box office, drawing in a huge audience. After the blockbuster success of Pathaan, he treated fans to another blockbuster, Jawan. Directed by Atlee, Jawan also starred Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and Ridhi Dogra. Previously, post the success of Jawan, the makers held a press conference in Mumbai, where SRK expressed his gratitude to the makers for their love for the film. "It's a celebration. We rarely get a chance to live with a film for years. The making of Jawan has been going on for four years due to Covid and time constraints. There were a lot of people involved in this film, especially people from the South who came and settled in Mumbai and have been living in Mumbai for the last four years and working day and night for this film, which is the hardest work ever," he said. Jawan was one of the highest-grossing films of 2023. 12 Fail was also released a month later. With his versatile acting skills, Vikrant left everyone speechless. Based on a book by Anurag Pathak, 12th Fail chronicles the life of Manoj Kumar Sharma, who overcame extreme poverty to become an IPS officer. The film puts the spotlight on his journey and how his wife, IRS officer Shraddha Joshi, was instrumental in his rise. The film emerged as a word-of-mouth hit towards the end of 2023, grossing nearly Rs6 billion (Dh25,272)worldwide at a time when mid-budget films were not even getting theatrical releases.

Siddhant Chaturvedi, Tripti Dimri's 'Dhadak 2' is powerful cinema
'When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.' Dhadak 2 opens with this famous quote by Thomas Jefferson. I can't remember the last time the words 'resistance' and 'injustice' were invoked in a big-ticket Hindi film. Seeing these lines written boldly on screen, one immediately gets the sense that this movie from Dharma Productions — a banner known for fluff and fantasy — is going to strike a very different note. Let's give credit where it's due. Bollywood has long been (rightly) called out for its pusillanimity in depicting uncomfortable social issues. While the parallel cinema of the '70s and '80s produced powerful films that questioned the status quo, they were largely categorised as 'arthouse,' with mainstream movies avoiding or whitewashing trickier subjects like politics, caste and communalism. In recent years, the industry has more or less fully acquiesced to the dominant narrative, with filmmakers choosing to play it safe rather than risk inviting the wrath of the online or offline troll brigade. This stands in sharp contrast to the South, where Tamil and Malayalam cinema in particular, continue to produce hard-hitting films on these very issues. (Do watch Jai Bhim in Tamil and Nayattu in Malayalam to see the difference for yourself.) So once again, kudos to producer Karan Johar for backing this 'spiritual sequel' (the new term for unrelated part 2 and 3 of a popular title) of Dhadak that has one of the most polarising fault lines facing India — caste discrimination — as its premise. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 is a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. I haven't watched the original to comment on it but going by the plot, it appears Iqbal and co-writer Rahul Badwelkar have added a nuanced layer of gender to the potent mix of caste and poverty. What's most applause worthy is that the makers do not flinch from taking the tensions head on. The screenplay and narrative grants each character an identity that defines their fate and action - strikingly different from the standard Bollywood template, where identity and representation are often flattened to fit into a homogenised narrative. Of course, this is a huge irony in itself, considering Indian cinema emerges from a country as multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural as India! Set in an urban landscape, Dhadak 2 follows the life of Neelesh Ahirwar (Siddhant Chaturvedi), a lower caste law student seeking to upgrade his life through education. The National University of Law, where he enrolls, has students from all backgrounds but it's people like him who get singled out and ridiculed - sometimes subtly, at other times blatantly - because of his identity. Triptii Dimri plays Vidhi, his classmate, an upper caste privileged girl who falls for his simplicity and unassuming nature. However, the term 'privilege' loses its meaning when you realise that while Vidhi may belong to a rich family that 'allows' girls to study and become independent, she is caged by her gender; in her home, it's the men who decide the women's fate and the limits of their independence. Yet Vidhi is no wallflower. When push comes to shove, she knows how to stand up for herself and the man she loves. Neelesh hesitantly enters into a relationship with Vidhi but soon enough, faces the consequences when her all-powerful family harasses him physically and emotionally for daring to cross the line. The fightback comes but not before an internal awakening (resistance) that is a direct call to action to stand up against injustice. Dhadak 2 is far from perfect. For one, the romance is rather wishy-washy for a film that was promoted as a forbidden love story. Neelesh and Vidhi fall in love way too quickly and their interactions lack the passion which make you want to root for them. Secondly, the focus of the movie is on the role caste identity plays in Indian society - from the smallest of interactions to the biggest life decisions - which leaves the screenplay with little to no time to spotlight the emotional conflicts of the protagonists. This approach weakens the first half considerably as, despite the good intentions, you don't really feel that invested in their stories. Fortunately, the portions post the interval pick up steam and pack an absolute punch. Neelesh's slow but steady evolution from a timid student to a man ready to fight for his pride and self-respect is entirely believable. In some parts, it does get a bit too 'Bollywood' but thankfully the hero remains human and not a superhero. The female lead too is given enough agency that leads her to question the choices she's been dealt with. But what makes the film an important one is the conversations it triggers. Through supporting characters and situations, the makers try to answer the regular questions surrounding discrimination, reservations, affirmative action, campus politics and the like. At times, the film seems to counter the arguments dominating WhatsApp discourse in the country. But by simplifying the complexities of these subjects, it makes a plea for greater understanding - from the perspective of the oppressed. It also calls for more political engagement, confronting the privilege of those who can afford to ignore society's harsher realities. 'You got into politics the day you were born,' says a character to Neelesh, who later reminds his upper-caste friends of their luxury to overlook what they never had to endure. Definitely, there is a lot of empathy in the writing which is rather rare in this day and age of aggressive cinema. What helps the case immensely are the dialogues and the performances. Some of the lines hit hard which is precisely the purpose. The supporting cast deserves a special mention. Saurav Sachdeva as a cold-blooded killer under the garb of 'protector of culture and caste supremacy' is excellent as is Vipin Sharma as Neelesh's helpless father. Others including Saad Bilgrami as the hotheaded Ronnie (Vidhi's brother), Harish Khanna as her sensible but rigid father and Zakir Hussain as the college principal are fabulous too. As for the leads, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri have done a fair job. Siddhant brings out the vulnerability of a Dalit man hopeful of a better future pretty well but he can't shake off his inherent urban sophistication. Nevertheless, it's a commendable performance and in some sequences of torture and harrassment, his rage-filled eyes speaks volumes. A few years ago, when Dhadak was released, a number of critics lamented it diluted the impact of Sairaat, the Marathi blockbuster of which it was a remake, by almost obliterating the caste reference and instead, making the conflict all about class. Dhadak 2 corrects that mistake. Given the divisive and very vicious rhetoric around caste and its politics, it's a brave (even if not the best) attempt to highlight an important aspect of Indian society that everyone knows exists but is reluctant to acknowledge.

Dhadak 2 review: Bollywood love story sanitises real-live horrors of caste violence
Article 15 of the Indian Constitution minces no words with its prohibition of discrimination 'against any citizen on grounds only of religion, caste, sex, place of birth, or any of them.' Drafted in 1948, a year after India's independence, it is a marked condemnation of the country's deeply-entrenched caste-based hegemony and gender-based violence. Seventy seven years have passed since, but India and the world continue to witness the horrors of honour killings and violence borne out of caste-based discrimination, among countless other crimes committed in the name of protecting the pride of a nebulous title. Produced by Karan Johar under his studio Dharma Productions, Dhadak 2 is a romantic drama that makes a valiant attempt to address caste-based prejudice. It stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri as star-crossed lovers. Chaturvedi plays Neelesh, a man who is from a lower caste and dreams of becoming a lawyer. Sparks fly when a meet-cute between him and Vidhi – she is a Brahmin, the most elite caste in the social class – turns into a freewheeling romance. Institutional oppression, unfortunately, has other plans for the pair, which forms the crux of this film. The underlying social message Dhadak 2 is trying to sell has played out on screen in countless other, arguably better films. From acclaimed filmmaker Bimal Roy's 1959 drama, Sujata, to more modern independent stories such as Dibakar Banerjee's Love Sex Aur Dhokha (2011) and Anubhav Sinha's Article 15 (2019), the list is endless. The problem here is that director Shazia Iqbal and co-writer Rahul Badwelkar sanitise the grim reality of institutional horrors in favour of a schmaltzy melodrama like an early-2010s Bollywood romcom. Cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca's picture-perfect framing with multiple sun-kissed shots doesn't help either. What emerges is something between glossy romance, harrowing drama and a friendly neighbourhood Indian daily soap opera. It isn't all bad though. Chaturvedi and Dimri are incredible leading performers. They are backed by a stack of phenomenal supporting actors, including Vipin Sharma, Zakir Hussain (from Prime Video series Farzi), and Harish Khanna (from the acclaimed film 12th Fail). They all bring their A-game to their respective roles. But the leads' charms does not fit with the grounded nature of their characters. This isn't exactly on them. The movie insists on romanticising the narrative too much. So much so that it becomes easy to forget what the intent really is – an unfortunate problem that was also a part of its previous instalment, Dhadak (2018). In terms of plot, the two movies share nothing apart from their sociopolitical message. The film is competent enough. But walking out of the cinema brings to mind the fate of nine-year-old Indra Meghwal, who was beaten to death in Rajasthan in 2022 for touching a pot of water used by the upper caste. It is a reminder of the 19-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh who was brutally assaulted and murdered by four men in the name of caste. Dhadak 2 's style undermines both its story and the systemic oppression of people of lower castes.
