Bollywood’s glam girl Sameera Reddy has given a praiseworthy performance in Bengali filmmaker Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s movie Kaalpurush.
While introducing his film at the closing ceremony of the recently concluded Osian’s Cinefan Film Festival in New Delhi, Buddhadeb Dasgupta made a special mention of Sameera Reddy and asked her and actor Rahul Bose to come on stage.
Dasgupta said Sameera, known mainly for her hot roles in Hindi films, was required to speak chaste Bengali for Kaalpurush.
“She (Sameera) took just fifteen days to catch up on the language and get the pronunciations right,” Dasgupta said.
The movie has Sameera playing Supriya, Rahul Bose’s wife. She is a teacher by profession and is absolutely smitten with America. She also has an extra-marital affair because of her lack of any physical intimacy with her husband.
In the movie, Supriya (Sameera) goes to the USA and upon her return back home in Kolkata she sets about to write book after book on America.
There is also a small sequence in the movie that shows Sameera playing a prostitute – Dasgupta’s poetic attempt to draw parallels between Supriya and the prostitute.
Going by her performance in the movie, it can be inarguably said that Sameera does have the potential of acting talent inside her. She looks absolutely convincing in her non-glamorous, America-obsessed and self-centric character.
