Kunal Kemmu: I Can't Relate to 'Dil Chahta Hai'!
2 Apr
Summary
- Kunal Kemmu questions relatability of elite travel films.
- He contrasts Mira Road life with Barcelona and Melbourne.
- His film 'Madgaon Express' targets a common man's perspective.
An old interview clip of actor Kunal Kemmu has resurfaced, where he expressed his inability to connect with popular Bollywood films such as 'Dil Chahta Hai' and 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.' Kemmu humorously pointed out the disconnect between the characters' experiences, which often involved international travel and profound realizations after activities like scuba diving, and the reality of someone from Mira Road.
He articulated this sentiment by questioning how his own experiences, and those of ordinary people, could be reflected in such narratives. This perspective led him to pitch his directorial debut, 'Madgaon Express,' to the same production house behind the aforementioned films. Released in 2024, 'Madgaon Express' was conceived to offer a relatable story for a broader audience, focusing on the everyday lives and aspirations of common individuals.
The viral video has garnered significant attention online, with reactions split between agreement and disagreement. Supporters praised Kemmu for his authenticity and grounded perspective, while some netizens questioned his reasoning, suggesting financial background might influence relatability.
