Rani Mukerji dan Kunal Kohli

(Disclaimer: Artikel yang sama telah dipublish pada 2016. Artikel kali ini adalah versi lebih ringan untuk dibaca.)

Kunal Kohli minta Rani untuk main di filmnya dan Rani mengiyakan 3 film itu: Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Hum Tum, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Kunal Kohli ni mungkin sama deh kayak RB, suka sama aktingnya Rani makanya Rani melulu hehehe.

MDK (9 Agustus 2002) film dimana Kunal Kohli debut sebagai sutradara, diproduksi oleh Yash Raj Film (YRF) tentunya. Menggandeng Rani Mukerji (Pooja) dan Hrithik Roshan (Raj) sebagai pemeran utama, serta Kareena Kapoor (Tina) sebagai peran pendukung. Walaupun secara komersial (alias penjualan nih) MDK tidak bagus amat dan tidak buruk amat di zamannya, tapi di Indonesia sendiri MDK banyak pencintanya. Lagu Oh My Darling aja terkenal sampe mana-mana. Cerita MDK tu ringan tapi tetep berasa film India banget ya gasih?

Hum Tum (28 Mei 2004) Kunal duet bareng YRF lagi untuk naskah Hum Tum. Lagi, Rani udah dipilih untuk peran Rhea. Peran Karan, yang kita tau dimainkan sama Saif Ali Khan, justru pernah ditawarkan ke Hrithik lho. Tapi, Hrithik nolak karena ngerasa gabegitu nyaman sama perannya.

Hum Tum sukses borong piala penghargaan, sampe menangin National Film Awards 2005 kategori Best Actor untuk Saif. Tenaaang… Rani dapet penghargaan juga kok, tapi di ajang awards lain. Hey hey, ada Abhishek Bachchan juga lho di Hum Tum.

TPTM (27 Juni 2008) Kunal nih ya emang demen banget Rani main untuk film-film dia. Karena suksesnya jodi (Hindi: pasangan) Saif-Rani, YRF featuring Kunal Kohli Productions jelas gak kapok percaya ke Saif-Rani untuk naskah TPTM. TPTM ini suasana filmnya lebih fun, kocak liat tingkah Ranbeer (Saif) dan Geeta (Rani) yang perannya jadi bidadari turun dari surga untuk bantu Ranbeer. Seriusan tau, emang ceritanya begitu. Tonton aja sendiri.

Yup, itu dia hatricknya kerja sama Rani Mukherjee dan Kunal Kohli. Dari ketiga film itu, kalian udah nonton yang mana aja?

RB Bahas Film: Bombay Talkies (2013)

(Disclaimer: Artikel yang sama telah dipublish pada 2016. Artikel kali ini adalah versi lebih ringan untuk dibaca.)

Bombay Talkies (3 Mei 2013) dirilis untuk merayakan hari jadi Industri Bollywood ke-100! Film ini terobosan baru dalam gaya produksi film di Bollywood. Bombay Talkies terdiri dari 4 film! (hah gimana gimana?) Intinya Bombay Talkies ini kumpulan film pendek, yang mana tiap film pendeknya disutradarai oleh orang yang berbeda. 4 film 4 sutradara, menjadi 1 film berdurasi kurang lebih 2 jam.

1. Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh
Nah, Rani main di segment yang ini nih. ADHY disutradarai oleh Karan Johar. Ceritanya tentang keluarga yang terlihat harmonis, Dev (Randeep Hooda) dan Gayatri (Rani Mukerji) suami istri yang kelihatannya aman-aman ajani. Tapi keluarga mereka jadi kacau setelah Dev ketemu Avinash (Saqib Saleem), teman Gayatri. Sesuai arti judulnya: kisah yang tak biasa. Isu dalam segment ini bener-bener relate dengan keadaan sosial di hampir semua tempat. Tapi teteeep, untuk di tahun ini kisah kayak gini masih anti-mainstream.

2. Star
Disutradarai oleh Dibakar Banerjee. Salah satu pemainnya adalah sang legend Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Ceritanya tentang perjuangan hidup Purandar untuk dia sendiri dan keluarganya.

3. Sheila Ki Jawaani
Disutradarai oleh Zoya Akhtar. Ceritanya tentang Vicky (Naman Jain), anak laki-laki yang nge-fans banget sama Katrina Kaif. Saking nge-fansnya, dia pengen jadi kayak Katrina.

4. Murabba
Disutradarai oleh Anurag Kashyap. Ceritanya tentang Vijay (Vineet Kumar Singh) yang ayahnya nge-fans sama Amitabh Bachchan. Keinginan ayahnya adalah Vijay harus ketemu sama Amitabh Bahchcan. Di segment ini kita disuguhin realita kalau ketemu seorang bintang besar itu tidak mudah! (yaiyalah-_-) Mulai dari rebutan dengan fans lainnya, penjagaan yang ketat, dll.

Apa yang membuat keluarga Dev-Gayatri hancur? Bisakah Purandar sukses dan membahagiakan keluarganya? Mungkinkah Vicky memenuhi impiannya menjadi seperti Katrina Kaif? Terus, Vijay bisa ketemu Amitabh Bachchan atau enggak? Kita gak akan spoiler hehe, tonton sendiri ya. Bombay Talkies title track asik lho lagunya, bertabur bintang juga! Happy watching.

RB Bahas Film: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

(Disclaimer: Artikel yang sama telah dipublish pada 2016. Artikel kali ini adalah versi lebih ringan untuk dibaca.)

2020, bahkan sampai puluhan tahun film ini gabisa kalau gak dibahas. Mulai dari fakta produksi film ini sampai pertarungan abadi Team Rahul vs. Team Aman. Kalau RB udah pasti Team Tina, gamau tau pokoknya Team Tina hehe. Artikel ini gak akan membandingkan siapapun, justru mau bahas fakta produksi yang udah jadi rahasia umum, atau malah beberapa dari kalian belum tau.

(nb: Fakta yang tertulis berikut diambil dari wawancara casts/crews KKHH. Bisa cari videonya di youtube dengan kata kunci: “10 Years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”)

1. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (16 Oktober 1998) diproduksi oleh Dharma Production. KKHH adalah film pertama karya Karan Johar. Karan udah mantep milih SRKajol sebagai peran utama, tapi waktu itu dia masih nyari peran pendukung.

2. Peran Tina diambil dari nama Twinkle Khanna, karena Karan nge-fans banget sama Twinkle. Karan nawarin peran Tina ke Twinkle Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Urmila Matondkar, Tabu, Raveena Tandon. Boom! Mereka semua nolak.

3. Shah Rukh ikut andil dalam memilih Rani untuk peran Tina. SRK kagum sama akting Rani di Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. Bisa dibilang habis SRK rekomen Rani ke Karan, Karan nawarin naskah KKHH ke Rani. Boom! Rani menerima peran Tina.
Awalnya Rani sempat gak PD buat main sebagai kekasihnya SRK di film, secara SRKajol udah hits sejak Baazigar & DDLJ. Boom! Semua meyakinkan Rani kalau itutu gak masalah, kuylah main aja jadi Tina. Eh bener dong, Tina banyak memenangkan hati penonton juga kan.

4. Rani sempat takut pas syuting lagu Koi Mil Gaya, soalnya dia pake rok pendek dan mesti nari di panggung setinggi 6kaki.

5. Scene favorit Rani di KKHH: scene saat Tina meninggal. (nah loh?) Rani suka scene itu karena itu adegan emosional, sampe para crew, SRK, Karan, dan Rani sendiri beneran nangis (gapake tetes mata guys).

6. Karan nyari peran Aman, kriterianya: pria ganteng dan punya sisi tradisional. Salman Khan langsung mau main sebagai Aman, tanpa tau naskahnya terlebih dahulu.

7. Saat syuting lagu Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana – yang adegan bersepeda di pantai – itu Kajol bener-bener jatuh sampe pingsan selama 3jam. Karan & SRK panic dan langsung nelpon Ajay waktu itu.

8. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai title track karya Jugal Hansraj (itu lho pemeran Sameer di film Mohabbatein), dia tiba-tiba aja dapat inspirasi katanya.

Hayo, di masa #dirumahaja gini udah berapa kali nonton ulang Kuch Kuch Hota Hai? Terlepas dari kesuksesan KKHH di pasar global, KKHH juga sukses bawa pulang penghargaan. Salah limanya adalah:
Film Terbaik
Sutradara Terbaik – Karan Johar
Aktor Terbaik – SRK
Aktris Terbaik – Kajol
Aktris Pendukung Terbaik – Rani Mukherjee

RB Bahas Film: Talaash (2012)

(Disclaimer: Artikel yang sama telah dipublish pada 2016. Artikel kali ini adalah versi lebih ringan untuk dibaca.)

Film ini mungkin gak banyak dibahas, karena film ini beda dari film Rani kebanyakan – nyanyi, nari, dan hingar binger – malah bisa dibilang film ini hemat lampu hehe. Talaash (30 November 2012) film yang pasti mengena di selera penonton, karena trio Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor. Akhirnya, 14 tahun setelah Ghulam, Aamir & Rani kembali dipasangkan!

Talaash, film bernuansa sendu dan misterius. Tapi, kami jamin Talaash bukan film yang bosenin. Makin ditonton makin penasaran plus plot twist di akhirnya. Pernah tau berita anaknya Iis Dahlia ditegur sama akun fanbase Kareena Kapoor gak? Nah, salah satu hal yang terkait ya film ini: Iis Dahlia nonton film ini, dia cerita kalau setting film ini memang terlihat kumuh karena settingnya menggambarkan lingkungan pel4curan.

Talaash  nyeritain Surjan, seorang inspektur (Aamir) dan Roshni (Rani) yang anaknya meninggal karena tenggelam. Hubungan Surjan dan Roshni renggang sejak itu. Masalahnya adalah Roshni masih merasakan kehadiran anak mereka, Surjan nganggep Roshni ini udah mulai gak beres karena belum merelakan kematian anak mereka. Di tengah tugasnya, Surjan menolong Rosie (Kareena), si wanita malam. Dengan ngobrol banyak bareng Rosie, Surjan bisa dapat petunjuk untuk memecahkan kasus. Ternyata! Surjan sendiri gak jauh beda sama Roshni nih.

"the dead come to those who are troubled" -Talaash (2012).

Quote ini maksudnya orang-orang yang meninggal mungkin saja “terhubung” dengan orang yang masih hidup dan menyampaikan pesan.

Kita gamau spoiler ah hahaha, silakan tonton sendiri filmnya.

And also Kajol cried when she knew the script for the first time. SRK admitted that he was responsible for casting Rani because he was falling in love with Rani’s acting in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. SRK felt that Rani had great emotion and stunning in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. And then Karan looking for Aman’s character, he looking for cool guy but still has traditional sense. And Salman Khan wants join in KKHH without know the script first, he just accepted any role and yeah Karan got Aman’s character in Salman self. When shooting for Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana song, Kajol was really fall from the bicycle. She unconscious and woke up 3 hours later. And KKHH song created by Jugal Hansraj, he just gets inspiration and produce the tune. In Koi Mil Gaya song, Rani was scared because of she wore short skirt and had to dance on the 6 feet stage. But yeah again, she against her fear and did the song well! -rrr- Siapa yang tidak tahu film ini? KKHH adalah film paling dikenal.

KKHH diproduksi oleh Dharma Production dan ini adalah proyek/film pertama karya Karan Johar. Karena kalian sudah tahu ceritanya, sekarang Rani Bhara akan memberitahu mengenai proses film ini. KKHH adalah film pertama karya Karan, SRKajol bersemangat untuk bermain di film pertama Karan. Karan Johar memilih SRKajol sebagai peran utama dan ia masih mencari peran pendukung. Peran Tina diambil dari nama Twinkle Khanna, karena Karan sangat mengidolakan Twinkle Khanna. Ia menawarkan naskah peran Tina untuk Twinkle Khanna, Aishwarya Rai, Urmila Matondkar, Tabu, Raveena Tandon tapi mereka semua menolak. Rani Mukherjee menerima peran itu dan bermain sangat baik! Sekarang kita tahu Rani, semua orang tahu dan menyukai Rani sejak KKHH. Scene/adegan favorit Rani adalah scene dimana Tina meninggal karena scene itu sangat emosional, crew film, SRK, Karan, dan Rani sendiri benar-benar menangis (tanpa tetes mata guys :v) Dan Kajol juga menangis saat ia tau naskah KKHH pertama kali. SRK mengaku ia juga ikut andil dalam memilih Rani untuk berperan sebagai Tina karena ia sangat suka akting Rani sejak di Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. SRK merasa Rani memiliki emosi yang baik dan sangat mempesona di RAKB. Lalu, Karan mencari peran Aman, ia mencari sosok pria tampan tapi tetap memiliki sisi tradisional. Dan Salman Khan ingin bermain di KKHH tanpa tahu naskahnya terlebih dahulu, Salman hanya menerima peran yang ia dapat dan ya Karan mendapat peran Aman dalam diri Salman. Saat syuting lagu Yeh Ladka Hai Deewana, Kajol benar-benar jatuh dari sepeda. Ia pingsan dan tersadar 3 jam kemudian. Dan lagu KKHH tercipta karena Jugal Hansraj, ia tiba-tiba mendapat inspirasi nada-nada. Di lagu Koi Mil Gaya, Rani sempat takut karena ia memakai rok pendek dan harus menari di panggung setinggi 6 kaki. Dan ia melawan rasa takutnya dan melakukan syuting lagu KMG dengan sangat baik!
