After having failed to make any impact with his film Jayate, Hansal Mehta has tried to do a remake of Ram Gopal Verma's Satya, in his latest offering Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar.
Not so much so in terms of
content, but rather the treatment of the subject. Starring Tabu, Saurabh Shukla and Manoj Bajpai in a romantic role, the film deals with the unpredictability of life.
It is a story about the people living in a huge metro like Mumbai – original residents as well as immigrants --- trying to make some sense of their daily struggle for survival. The movie tries to reflect the various social strata that exists in the city, and how gradually each individual becomes a part of this bustling metropolis.
While Manoj Bajpai plays a small-town lowly mechanic, Tabu, his love interest, plays a journalist in the movie. Saurabh Shukla, 'Kallu Mama' of Satya, plays Bajpai’s friend.
Despite reality being a canvass for the film, it is not a heavy film. An attempt has been made to capture all the little foibles of life, yet giving out the message of taking life as it comes.
The music of the film has been scored by Vishal. Some songs like Chal Padi have done quite well in the music charts.
Slated for an early October release, the director too, of TV cookery show 'Khana Khazana' fame, hopes to reach a foothold in Bollywood.
