You can either be sentimental or bitter about the movies, but you can rarely charm people by being both at once. Unfortunately, the people behind the Indian moviemaking comedy “RK/RKAY” took that risk, and wound up making a mawkish, inert fantasy about a filmmaker whose protagonist escapes his movie within the movie. Writer/director Rajat Kapoor stars as both RK, a past-his-prime filmmaker, and Mahboob, a guileless refugee from a 1950s-style melodrama. RK and Mahboob have a few heart-to-hearts and teach each other how to live better … in theory, at least.RK/RKAY 2021 Full Movie Download
High-handed heroine (Mallika Sherawat as Gulabo), hassled producer (Manu Rishi Chadha as Goel), smirking crew and a lost director (RK)… Rajat Kapoor pretty much plays himself in this crowdfunded Meta movie that debunks the rosy perception of filmmaking. However, unlike films made on filmmaking in the past like Zoya Akhtar’s Luck by Chance for instance; Kapoor’s film is more of a satirical-self-talk than a broader commentary on the workings of the film industry. The characters they create aren’t real enough is a common critique screenwriters face but what happens when these characters consider themselves to be real individuals? RK/RKAY dabbles with this thought.“People watch bad films in the name of independent cinema”, points out an AD (assistant director) to RK as the latter mulls over his film’s destiny. Despite the self-indulgence, the narrative’s undramatic, self-deprecating tone makes the film a delightful watch. With the producer breathing down his neck to make their film commercially viable, and his characters defying their fate, can RK hold it together?Let’s be honest. There’s no concrete takeaway or profound thought that emerges from this passion project. It doesn’t set out to send across a message or make a point. It simply captures the inner turmoil, the existential crisis of a director who is expected to constantly compromise on his creative freedom. However, artists are lonely, stubborn individuals, who don’t take ‘inputs’ too kindly. RK is more real when conversing with the screen characters he wrote as opposed to his understanding wife (Kubbra Sait). Who is real and who isn’t? All the actors — Kubbra Sait, Ranvir Shorey, Manu Rishi Chadha, Mallika Sherawat and Kapoor himself — make this self-reflective dramedy an interesting watch.
