ÂI canÂt do a Tom, Dick and Harry, said actor Sanjay Suri during the Press Meet of his forthcoming movie ÂBas Ek PalÂ. It seems the humungous praise showered on him post ÂMy Brother Nikhil has led to him being bracketed as a ÂSerious actor. ÂI am also doing ÂSpeed an out and out commercial film, he justified trying to break shackles of protruding journos with dime-a-dozen weighty questions about the new breed of multiplex cinema aimed at suiting urban sensibilities. Also present at the event was director Onir (Extremely intelligent, respects his sensibilities and doesnÂt try too hard to sell his wares), actress Juhi Chawla (How can she still look so lovely .And no attitude Wow!), music directors Mithoon (Young-n-restless, a bit too willing to please, yet very passionate about his work) and Vivek Philip (Very talented and relaxed).
It was a different kind of Press Meet for a change. No waiters bothering you at every other second with a variety of starters. You just had to go and have your cup-n-saucer tea. Very middle class. A welcome change. And that was exactly the tenor of the entire afternoon, stretching into a quieter evening. There were no airs about any of the stars. Everyone was approachable and in spite of hundreds of flashbulbs and television cameras none of the star cast (There was only Juhi and Sanjay anyway) were dressed in too-gaudy-a-dress. Sanjay wore a simple blue T-shirt, faded jeans with his hair having a self-admitted ÂTintin PuffÂ. Juhi was immaculately dressed in a ravishing long skirt with a silver top, flowing tresses and matching accessories.
The atmosphere was relaxed as nobody drilled it down the throat that ÂYou must watch the film as itÂs an out-of-the-world filmÂ. Everyone said that itÂs a good film matching the urban sensibilities of todayÂs youth, their problems, their relationships, emotions and how they deal with their precarious situations. When you talk to Onir, the director of the film, one feels as if you can go an talking to him. He explains each and every thing in detail without being catty about other peopleÂs work. He gives you respect, not because you belong to that illustrious Fourth Estate that supposedly believes that it can change careers of politicians, celebrities etc. But he is the same with everyone. Even when he talks to a bar tender, you can notice that humility and gentleness.
Sanjay Suri is warm, refined with that typical open hearted Punjabi sense of humour. ItÂs another story that he discreetly promotes himself now-n-then, like when he tells the interviewer of a prominent Bollywood Portal, ÂHey boss, give a link to sanjaysuri.com  but lighthearted banter aside, this cool dude still hasnÂt got his due. He is far more talented than what one has seen him so far. LetÂs see if ÂBas Ek Pal helps him in pushing the envelope further.
Juhi Chawla is a delight in every sense of the word. She answers the simple questions without much hesitation and then a missile in chaste Hindi is thrown towards her: ÂHow do you cope up with the new heroines who believe in cut throat competition? She laughs in that typical QSQT manner and replies, ÂWhereÂs the competition .I am not like them I am not doing the kind of films that they are doing so whereÂs the competition.Â
After listening to a lot of blah-blah I personally feel ÂBas Ek Pal is one movie I am eagerly looking forward to. Like ÂYun Hota Toh Kya Hota it may push the envelope of sensible cinema forward. Hope it meets with better fate at the Box Office as compared to ÂYun Hot . And all you guys who keep logging on to IndiaGlitz in huge numbers .Check out the exclusive video footage of the ÂBas Ek Pal Press Meet very soon where you shall get up-close-n-personal interviews with Onir, Sanjay Suri, Juhi Chawla and Mithoon.
