Description
In this episode of Desi Talkies, our hosts Ananya & Aneesa talk about Anvita Dutt's Qala, which released exclusively on Netflix on December 1, 2022. [Set in 1930s India, the film revolves around a talented singer who's haunted by her past while reaching successful heights in her career.] Ananya & Aneesa go through Dutt's past work, her successful director-actor duo with Tripti Dimri ("Qala"), and what her common directing styles are. We then breakdown the Psychological Horror Heroine, what it means, and how Anvita Dutt instills its characteristics in Tripti Dimri ("Qala"). Our hosts also express their feelings towards Qala featuring the acting debut of Babil Khan ("Jagan"), son of the late and great Irrfan Khan. Finally, our hosts carry their in-depth analysis of the film with a scene-by-scene analysis, casting breakdown, musical score review, and assumed symbolism behind the visual motifs. Listen to the full episode for more background on Qala and to hear our Desi Talkies rating and review!
