rubin & ed is an american independent comedy-buddy film written and directed by trent harris and released in 1991 .

it is about an eccentric , unsociable young man who is forced by his mother to make some friends before she 'll return his stereo to him .

he is joined on a trip through a desert by a pyramid scheme salesman , to assist in finding a location to bury a frozen cat .

crispin glover appeared on late night with david letterman in 1987 in-character as rubin farr .

this caused much confusion to david letterman as he , after almost being kicked in the face by glover , walked off his own set while still on the air .

it has never been confirmed by glover whether or not this was a performance .

rubin and ed is a 1991 independent film starring crispin glover and howard hesseman , directed by trent harris . an offbeat and often - trippy comedy , it tells the story of self - imposed hermit rubin farr ( glover ) and middle - aged pyramid scheme recruiter ed tuttle ( hesseman ) . ed is desperate to find someone that he can drag to his group ' s upcoming seminar . meanwhile , rubin ' s mother is nagging him to make a friend and bring said friend over to dinner . while on their respecive missions , the two men meet . hilarity ensues . weirdness ensues too . the plot winds up going in an unexpected direction , and our heroes spend most of the movie lost in an arid utah desert .
at it’s core , rubin and ed is a bizarre buddy film in which two recent acquaintances trek across a desert landscape hauling the thawing corpse of a cat in a cooler . rubin farr ( crispin glover ) is a vehemently disagreeable recluse who lives with his mother and is grieving over the death of his only friend in the world , his pet cat . ed tuttle ( howard hesseman ) is a tightly - wound , loud - mouthed divorcée with low self - esteem attempting to make big bucks in the real estate game . after impatiently awaiting the return of his mother in order to introduce her to his begrudgingly made new friend , rubin steals ed’s car , set on finding the absolutely most pristine place to bury his quickly putrefying feline friend . ed goes along for the ride , desperately attempting to convince rubin to attend a pyramid scheme seminar with him .
i recently purchased trent harris’s rubin and ed on dvd after hearing that it was an obscure film starring crispin glover – so obscure and rare , in fact , that a used vhs copy will run you anywhere from $ 40 . 00 to $ 100 . 00 , while a “new” copy is $ 200 . 00 . perhaps best known for plan 10 from outer space , which debuted at raindance in 1996 , rubin and ed is actually harris’s first full - length film and has slowly gained cult status in certain circles .
despite ed and rubin’s characters being so absurd , you still relate to and empathize with them because they are both such losers . having relatable characters , along with an awesome villain ( which in this case is themselves ) makes for good film . you may want to peg rula , rubin’s mother or the world as the villain , but really rula and rubin’s mom want them to succeed whether it be socially or financially… they’re just bitches how they go about expressing that .

filmmaker : the other film that’s showing this week is rubin and ed . you’ve mentioned its initial reviews , and the 92nd street y’s website calls it “underappreciated . ” do you feel like it’s still underappreciated ? what do you appreciate about it as you look back on it ?
if you have a love of bizarre cult films and / or crispin glover you should check this movie out . you’ll be pleased as punch you did . you can actually get your own copy of rubin & ed on dvd right from the trent harris’ website .
the actual clapper used in the production of rubin and ed . the last shooting day was 11 / 16 / 90 . there ' s only one of these so trent will let it go for $ 2 , 500 . 00 including shipping , of course !
“ed has played a key part in the founding and growth of origin and we will all be very sorry to see him leave . he has been a great colleague and champion of our projects . i am pleased to say that we now have the strongest slate we have ever had across film and television and i want to thank ed for his key part in this , ” commented origin’s ceo david thompson .
harris : i actually got sued by ed wood’s estate . they came in saying , “you can’t use that title , ” and i said , “oh , come on . ” it wasn’t ed wood or anybody , it was some guy who had bought the rights to ed wood’s films . i can’t even remember his name now . but it was ridiculous ; you can’t copyright a title , but they sure tried to make me stop . which turned into good publicity there for a short period of time . i mean , gosh , getting sued by ed wood ?

for one or two shots , rubin ' s shoe faces the wrong way as it spins towards rula and jimbo ' s car .
rubin will be responsible for expanding the company’s activities across film and tv , working with head of film jack arbuthnott , head of tv kate crowe and head of business and commercial affairs carlo dusi .
featuring beautiful cinematography by bryan duggan the the film was shot in utah’s goblin state park and the quirky electronic score by frederic myrow makes for a stellar pairing . actress , singer , songwriter , and screenwriter karen black stars as ed’s nagging ex - wife , rula , whose screen time , unfortunately , is minimal , but whose role is quite pivotal to ed’s character development .
rubin will join in january to grow the company’s activities across film and tv , and oversee the strategic and creative direction of the company , working with head of film jack arbuthnott , head of tv kate crowe , and head of business and commercial affairs carlo dusi .
harris : well , i like all of my stuff . i think of them as children . each one of them has a problem but you love them all . and a lot of people like beaver trilogy , but different groups like different movies . there’s a whole kind of special cult around rubin and ed , and there’s another one around plan 10 , you know . sometimes they cross over and sometimes they don’t .
harris : no , not at all . actually what i was saying , since the critics gave me such a bad time for rubin and ed , was , “i’m going to make a movie and call it plan 10 , i mean what are they going to say , ` it’s worse than plan 9 ‘ ? ” i thought it would be great publicity . and that’s really where the title came from .
filmmaker : well there’s the mormon element but there’s the ed wood element as well , starting right with the title . were you embracing the campiness of your lack of a budget ?

fun fact : although the movie came out in 1991 , crispin glover created the rubin character years before . in his andy kaufman - esque stunt on david letterman ' s show in 1987 , he appeared in - character as rubin ( well , we think it was a stunt ; it ' s just as possible that glover is just plain weird ) . he also mentions

rubin added : “after spending eight incredible years at origin pictures , it is very sad to move on and leave behind all the terrific projects on the slate . i have such admiration and fondness for david , whom i’ve worked with now for almost twelve years since bbc films . his fierce passion , drive and wealth of experience has steered origin so effectively , and he’s also made it a thoroughly fun and fulfilling place to work . ”
professor rubin ' s research focuses on technical , economic and policy issues related to energy and the environment . his group pioneered the development of the integrated environmental control model ( iecm ) , a widely - used stochastic simulation model used worldwide for designing and evaluating cost - effective emission control systems for fossil - fuel power plants , including advanced process for carbon capture and storage ( ccs ) . dr . rubin also studies the nature and pace of technology innovation for energy and environmental systems and the factors that influence it , particularly the role of government policies . insights from this work have been used to estimate future cost trends for advanced power systems , and the influence of technological change climate mitigation strategies . additional research on renewable energy systems and other topics is being pursued in collaborations with the carnegie mellon electricity industry center ( ceic ) , the climate and energy decision making ( cedm ) center , and the scott institute for energy innovation .
rubin’s hire marks a sure vote of confidence for the london - based team , which has been increasingly productive in the uk with recent productions such as sean foley’s buzzed feature comedy mindhorn ; tv series taboo , written by steve knight and starring tom hardy ; and jonas akerlund’s lords of chaos .
you know , i could see that there was a certain kind of denial about their own history . and i thought this was the special stuff , they shouldn’t be denying it . so that was part of it . it was never meant to poke fun at the mormon church , and i don’t think it does , and a lot of people agree who really watch the whole movie . you know , most of it’s based on actual mormon doctrine . i made up a few things but most of that stuff’s real . part of what had happened was after rubin and ed came out , it got such terrible reviews and was yanked out of theaters quickly . and i had another project that i was working on that had been green lit , we were doing location scouting , they just immediately pulled the plug on that . basically i got extremely angry at l . a . and hollywood and the whole thing , and i said , “i’m just going to go back to utah and make a film with my friends that we want to make , and everybody else can just go fuck off . ” so i went back and i put that film together so quickly . i mean , it was written , shot , and premiered at sundance in about eighteen months . so that’s pretty dang quick . you know , raising money and everything .

crispin glover fans may recall a 1987 david letterman interview in which a nervous glover wore tight striped pants , a wig , and huge platform shoes and nearly kicked letterman in the face . what you may not know is that he was dressed and in character as rubin farr , never mentioning the possible upcoming movie… guerilla advertising at its best . the farr character also makes an appearance in glover’s music video “clowny clown clown” from his album the big problem ≠ the solution . the solution = let it be .

filmmaker : i saw a trailer for luna mesa a few months ago and it’s wild and zany ; it looks like it would fit in with your other films quite nicely .
harris : well , it’s kind of about the khmer rouge . it’s really about a young man who was in the khmer rouge . he laid landmines , and now he goes out and clears them . you find out a lot about the khmer rouge through the film , but it’s really more a story about his redemption . i mean , he was like eight years old when he was doing it , but he laid thousands and thousands of landmines and then he decided he was going to clear landmines . i mean , he’d go out in an afternoon and he’d get forty . they’re not hard to find . and he goes out and clears them with a stick and a pocketknife . there’s one video i had that actually went viral of him clearing landmines . you know , it’s just a short clip of him digging one of them up , and it’s pretty frightening .
“quotable , hilarious , and , yes , even moving , writer - director trent harris ' buddy picture like no other yearns for an audience and cult - classic status . like , immediately . ”
harris : well , i mean there’s the initial sundance premiere and then everybody went , “well , you’re out of your mind making a film about mormons . ” and i thought , “why ? ” and then it went on immediately and took first prize at the raindance film festival . people said , “nobody’s going to understand this unless they’re a mormon , ” and i said , “i don’t think that’s right . people in london liked it . ” so you don’t have to know about it in order for the film to operate . and since then it plods along . there’s a certain little cult that likes it . one thing is that it was extremely difficult to show a 16mm film or distribute it in any fashion at all . and then there’s no money for publicity or anything like that . and now it’s twenty years later and the book of mormon ’s the number one thing on broadway .

( laughs ) i mean , i made it three times , and then when it became popular and people started to show it , and then when people started to ask me questions about it…you know , i can’t watch the movie anymore .

harris : well , it came from a lot of different places . i mean , i grew up mormon so i knew quite a bit about mormon doctrine , and when i began to make the film i started to dig a little bit deeper . and to me , all of my favorite parts of mormonism were the parts that the mormon church didn’t want to talk about : you know , porter rockwell and polygamy and the planet kolob and the doctrine of eternal progression and the deseret alphabet—all of that stuff was my favorite stuff . i’m kind of disappointed that when i went to church when i was small no one would ever talk about any of that .

harris : the next thing is called welcome to the rubber room , and it’s a kind of a strange beatnik nightclub that’s full of eccentrics , and it’s the last night that this place is open . it’s going to be shut down and turned into a yuppified art gallery . so it’s about that and their kind of wild efforts to save it . i’m just working on the script , but if all goes well we’ll shoot it this summer so it can show at a retrospective of my work , including my paintings and collages , at the utah museum of contemporary art early next year .
filmmaker : let me ask you about plan 10 , or first let me tell you a story about it . i’m almost finished writing a book about mormonism and cinema and , in 2006 , i taught a class on it at byu . i opened the first evening with a documentary by the church— called to serve , directed by blair treu—about calling missionaries and preparing them to go out and be clean - cut with white shirts and ties , and most of the students had actually already seen that . and then i showed about ten minutes of plan 10 , centering around the nightclub scene . ( harris laughs ) i wanted to show the breadth of what we were going to talk about in the class . then we took a short break , and three people never came back , out of fifteen students . ( harris laughs ) they dropped the course right then . i wanted to show the strangest moment of cinema related to mormonism , and plan 10 was the best example i could find . so where did it come from in your mind ? what were you trying to say with it ?

filmmaker : i even really enjoyed plan 9 from outer space . there’s a lot of heart , and it’s a great little film .
this definitely fits in with the zany comedy trend of the late 80s to early 90s , but it ' s not hard to see why it ' s unknown . it really is strange and odd through and through , and whereas someone like me embraced that aspect , the general public may dismiss it as stupid . stupid is quite far from what this film is , i would say brilliant . the humor is just so odd and genius and it also says alot about human nature . it ' s really sad that this hasn ' t seen a dvd release yet , or at least if it has it ' s out of print . i demand a special edition with commentary !
trippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .
harris : well i just haven’t had a chance . it’s hardly been shown . i showed it in london , and that’s just about it . i actually showed it in orem once , and there was a little sneak preview in brooklyn . really it hasn’t been shown . i sent it out to various festivals and nobody wants it . i think seattle’s going to include it as part of their retrospective . but again it’s a very different kind of film and i’m not sure it’s accessible to people . what i think is going to happen is that in about ten years they’re going to look at it and say , “oh yeah , that’s fine . ” i mean , i think it’s one of those . that seems to be what happens to my movies . they’re never popular when they come out and after a while they gain a following—through word of mouth only .
it ' s a character study , a road comedy , and ( ultimately ) a story about two lost souls trying to make their way in the world .

plan 10 from outer space ( thursday ) is a satire of utah’s dominant mormon culture . it features a young woman who discovers a 19th - century artifact that reveals that one of brigham young’s polygamous wives was actually a space alien who is now returning to wreak vengeance on earth . it’s both a brilliant send - up of mormonism’s oddest beliefs and iconography ( space aliens with beehive heads and monocular “all - seeing eyes” ) and an homage to the b - science fiction films of earlier decades .
filmmaker : i’ve heard you say that you’re tired of talking about the beaver trilogy . but it’s the film that’s opening the series and that seems to be your most popular and enduring work . why do you think the beaver trilogy is the first thing most people think of , when you’ve done so much other work as well ?
“no reasonable person could deny the genius of any movie involving two republicans , bellbottoms , a water - skiing cat , a pyramid scheme , mahler and a squeak‑mouse . ”
harris : well , i think it’s taken twenty years that it finally has gained a following . and i‘m happy that it’s as appreciated as it is at this point .
harris : i started making films when i was eighteen , and i’ve made so many films i’ve lost count , in terms of documentaries , experimental films , and i think i’m on my seventh feature now . they’re all different and they’re all the same ; it’s hard to describe . except for the tv work i do , that just is cookie cutter to make money . i just try to make movies that i would like to go see ; that’s really it in a nutshell . and i just have fun making them . i mean , that’s the reason i make them . i’m not going to make any money off of any of this stuff . i just enjoy it . i wouldn’t quit doing it for a second .

it’s funny , i realize i haven’t watched any of those older films for quite a while . i mean , you don’t after a while . i did recently look at plan 10 ; i was surprised , i thought , “that thing still holds up . ” after a while you forget the movie so you’re able to look at it freshly . right after i make them , i look at them and all i can see are the mistakes . but now i’ve forgotten all of that stuff , so they’re kind of fresh to me . but the beaver trilogy is not fresh , to me . it’s something that’s just been such a part of my life for so long . i mean , there has been hardly any time in the last thirty years that it hasn’t been somewhere or other in the forefront of something that i’m doing . even when it wasn’t being shown i was worrying about it not being shown , or i was worrying about what would happen if it was shown . and then people would say , “show it , ” and we’d have to say , “no , ” and it was just a never - ending thing , it’s just gone on and on and on .

trent harris has paid his dues . the salt lake city - based filmmaker has made more films than he can count , mostly shorts , documentaries , and experimental films . but his narrative feature films are among the best examples of underground cult films , including three that will show tonight , tomorrow , and friday at the 92 street y’s tribeca location . harris will be in attendance for a post - screening discussion every night .
filmmaker : it’s a bit of a mixed blessing because a lot of your fame and notoriety stems from that . do you feel like it overshadows a lot of your other work , work that you might like better ?
harris : no . you know , i think he’s kind of gotten a bum deal , too . i look at some of his movies , like glen or glenda , and it’s a really good , wonderful piece .
harris : it’s not what i’d call a funny film , so i think that’s the difference . but i’m not sure beaver trilogy ’s a funny film , to tell you the truth . i mean there are funny moments in the first part . but luna mesa was a different thing . i was actually going to make a narrative , dramatic film , but i was going to make it as if it were a documentary . so what i did was i went out and started to document what happened to me , traveling around the world for a year and half with this beautiful girl , and turned it into a narrative . it’s a very strange experimental documentary , it’s almost like a diary in some ways . so right now i’m too close to it and i don’t want to look at it for a while , but i’ve got a suspicion that it’ll rear its head again .

harris : whatever my genre is . i’m not sure myself . but yeah , i like that movie . actually the one that i’m working on right now has gone back to that , it has the same wild absurd dialogue , strange people in strange locations . it’s something i enjoy doing . the last movie i made was called luna mesa , and it was a complete departure from everything . it was me trying to make a real serious movie in a strange documentary form . i’m not sure how successful it was . but it took me a long time and it was very painful and right now i want to get back to more fun stuff that i was doing earlier .
i know that in a way it’s a very different form that i don’t think anybody had seen before , so i think that’s part of it . and then the other thing is that the kid is just so compelling , the real kid . and his story is just so compelling . he’s also an outsider in his community and i think that resonates because so many people feel like outsiders . we all feel like we’re on the outside looking in , at least a lot of people do . in fact , i think people who respond to my work are usually outsiders , people who feel a little bit outside the mainstream—maybe they didn’t get invited to the prom or something . [ chuckles ]
a chance meeting in a parking lot in 1979 between filmmaker trent harris and a young man from beaver , utah inspired the creation of an underground film that is now known as beaver trilogy . but the film itself is only part of the story .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
filmmaker : it feels like they all do . one that stuck out to me today that i had never heard of before was the cement ball of earth , heaven , and hell . is that a straight - forward documentary about the khmer rouge ?
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .
harris : well i certainly see myself as an outsider . and i certainly understand , at least i think i understand , where he was coming from . i grew up in a very small town not unlike beaver . you know , it was a small town in idaho that had 2 , 700 people , so i sort of understood the social dynamic of what he was going through in a town like that . you don’t just dress up like olivia newton - john and expect people not to get cranky . i mean , it isn’t going to happen .
a brilliantly wacky movie . i absolutely love it . crispin plays a charmingly weird guy you can ' t help but love , and he ' s so funny too . the whole movie is full of zany comedy . one of my favourite movies of the 90s , i highly recommend it .
harris : boy , you know , i’ve asked myself that same question . what is it about that film ? to tell you the truth i’m not sure . i mean , i was completely surprised when it struck the chord that it did . well , i wasn’t surprised that people liked it , i guess . what i was surprised at was how much critical acclaim it got . i’m not used to getting anything but bad reviews . it’s still a mystery to me why it’s so critically acclaimed and as popular as it is .
the beaver trilogy ( wednesday ) , his best - known work , is broken into three parts , each filmed years apart . the first is a documentary about groovin’ gary ( richard lavon griffith ) , a young man from the small town of beaver , utah who unexpectedly performs as olivia newton - john in full drag . in the second segment a young sean penn plays the role of groovin’ gary in a no - budget remake of the documentary as a narrative film . the third section casts crispin glover in the role , increases the budget , and expands the narrative to include more plot developments .

back to one podcast : keith poulson on developing as an actor in the ny indie film scene .
harris : no , it really wasn’t . ( laughs ) i mean it was really crazy at the time . it actually made me angry : it wasn’t that the reviews were bad ; they were mean . you know ? it was like , why are you trying to kill this little film ? if you don’t like it , fine , but there’s no reason to , you know…it really felt vindictive in a strange way . “the worst movie of the decade , ” i mean , come on . actually when they said that i thought , “god , i’m on to something . ”
filmmaker : do you think that you were ? because that kind of originated the “trent harris film , ” your genre or style .
filmmaker : i believe i heard richard dutcher call luna mesa hands - down the best thing you’d ever made .
harris : cult filmmaker means that you don’t make any money . that’s what a cult film is : a film that makes no money . ( laughs )
filmmaker : so people aren’t necessarily talking about your newest work , but the things you made ten , twenty , thirty years ago .
filmmaker : which is what i was going to say . when i think of the “brand” of “a trent harris film , ” wherever that came from , i don’t think of a documentary about clearing landmines in cambodia .
harris : if you see it , i think you’d recognize my style in there .
filmmaker : i suspect that you have a broader view of what is fair game for your filmmaking than a lot of the rest of us have .

indrasish was not my boyfriend as he is not boyfriend material . he can only be a very good friend . he can ' t take a girl ' s tantrums . in fact , he was my best friend and i shared everything under the sun with him . then , things changed . . . but still we are good friends and party together .
bengali actress sampurna lahiri plays the role of anya in the plot of the play . she was present at the dubbing . in between the friendly banter with indrasish and anindya while dubbing for the film , the actress shed some light on the role that she is playing . anya is a smart confident model who is also involved with stage theater but not seriously .
indrasish roy - well , this is a good experience actually . when i worked under him , i was exposed to the film sets for the first time . i was so excited . i was an observer in his film . i did not have any idea about films . it was under him that i gained knowledge about films . i expressed my wish to become an actor to him . he said that at that moment it was not possible but he allowed me to be on his sets and observe . that helped me a lot . the life of an actor is like a script . see in his second film , i finally got the chance to work with him . this has indeed being a good journey .
roy is an english , scottish gaelic and french name of norman origin . this family name originated from the normans , meaning
northman
in several scandinavian languages , who were descendants of norse vikings from denmark , norway and iceland . the derivation is from the word rey or roi , meaning
king
, and in medieval times was used as a nickname either for one who behaved in a regal fashion , or who had earned the title in some contest of skill . it also appears in scottish gaelic , from the word ruadh , meaning red and galizan as roi . roy can also be found in india , a variant of the name
rai
, which was a historical title of honour in india conferred by the british raj .
as sonika shot to fame , her personal life too was speculated about . until recently , she would openly profess her love for shaheb bhattacherjee . though they were considered the ` it ' couple of kolkata , there were rumours of trouble in paradise in recent times . sonika would often be photographed with vikram and their friends suggest the two had grown close over the last couple of months . “sonika used to inspire us to become health conscious . she used to set targets like 500 crunches a day on our whatsapp group . i can ' t believe this , “ said indrasish roy . years back , at a beauty pageant , sonika was asked about a quote that left profound impact on her . “nothing can stop what your destiny holds for you , “ she had said back then . no one had any idea that affirmation would come like it did .
“the script of durga sohay is outstanding . the way all the characters have been mounted in the film is praiseworthy . each actor has his own space and carries the film forward . only recently , neerja and pink were feted at the 64th national film awards and this only means we too are in need of women - centric films . a woman ' s contribution in a man ' s life is unparalleled . the driving force in my life is my mother , “ said indrasish , who plays subho in the film . subho is married to manasi ( tonushree chakraborty ) and the two make for a lovey - dovey couple . “he is a positive man who tries to see the good in any person . i must admit that after working with arindamda , my approach towards life has changed . i have become more responsible as a human being , “ said indrasish .
���this film and my character have many layers . tajuda is a brilliant director and i have worked in projects where he���d written the script . i was about to act in a play directed by him but that , i guess , will happen later . indrasish and i are good friends off screen and that should help us portray the characters better , ��� said sohini , who is dubbing for selfie , starring soumitra chatterjee , right now .

director ranjan ghosh ( his first movie ) is good . his first time effort pays off quite well . mayookh bhaumik ' s music is praise - worthy . the entire cast has performed well , especially abir chatterjee and raima sen . indrasish makes you feel that his future as an actor is bright . on the whole hrid majharey is a must watch film . don ' t miss this film for anything . it will surely touch your heart as it has touched ours .
gaurav : indrasish and i were the first to reach . and we were waiting for everyone to arrive . soon the bell rang and i saw this beautiful girl entering the room . and since i was so shy i couldn’t look into her eyes . she came in with her father . i was quite awe - struck the first time i saw her . . . . and , kaushik kaku had informed me earlier that there was a kissing scene ! ridhima : there were three kissing scenes , and i thought of not doing the film !
and will go on the floors on july 11 . ���i have penned the script and dialogues for haar mana haar , which is based on subroto niyogi���s story swami o premika . the narrative is about a young couple that has an arranged marriage . you see them on their first anniversary , when everything seems perfect . there is love , understanding , friendship . then , as the story progresses , the misunderstandings crop up . the film deals with the dynamics of marriage in today���s world . what seems like a bed of roses is not so in real life . sohini and indrasish are both fabulous and i���m sure they will make a good on - screen pair , ��� said debapratim .

director ranjan ghosh deserves quite a few appreciative pats on the back for dealing with the shakespearean concepts in such an engaging manner . acting by the cast receives a big thumbs up and ably helps the director in this project . sohag sen as the soothsayer is just perfect . raima as the cardiologist does justice to her role . indrasish ray as shubhro also supports the acting department well . abir chatterjee as abhijit is fantastic in the romantic scenes . the soft look and the dimpled smile will melt many a girl’s heart away and debjani in the film falls for his charms . he must also be given credit for bringing out the troubled emotions in a man so well . the angst and the indecisiveness that he portrays with his eyes and expressions will actually touch your heart .
yes , thats why i had chosen them . honestly , when i thought of making the film , i had a different cast in mind . i wanted to make the film with rudra ( rudranil ghosh ) and a few others . but then i realised that the subject demanded a fresh cast as the audience should not know what to expect . would you believe it , i auditioned more than 200 youngsters from various colleges ! every evening i would sit in a south calcutta coffee shop and audition students . but i chose ridhima , gaurav , tanaji , indrasish and gourab despite the fact that they are not completely fresh . ridhima did a few films which i have not seen , tanaji did madly bangalee , the rest have done television . film ta dekhe shobai laden , laden kore chechachhe ( tanajis character in the film is called laden ) . i am glad that i took them . tanaji was my student at st xaviers . . . . making rang milanti has liberated me as a director . i had a lot of fun after the serious aarekti premer galpo .

rang milanti is the best among your three comedies ( jackpot and brakefail ) . do you think youve got better at comedy ?
yes , certainly . but rang milanti is not just another comedy . it has a deep message about love , divorce and separation . i think rang milanti is my best attempt at comedy because i have matured as a director and i made the film with a couldnt - care - less attitude . i took a lot of liberty as a director . hoi hoi kore chhobita baniyechhi . i love brakefail as a film , its very dear to me . but i realise that the format was very flat . jackpot is a very good film and it would have been a hit had i not succumbed to pressure . i should have made the film differently with fewer songs . see , every director has a gharana . my audience disowned jackpot because i had deceived them . the audience expects something unique from me , which is there in rang milanti .
no . i dont think a film works because of stars . its the story that is important . as a director , i have never really bothered about how my films will do at the box - office because i cant help it . so casting newcomers isnt a risk . theres something called a beginners luck . besides , rang milanti is not a slapstick comedy , you know , such comedies dont work in bengal . i have realised that the bengali audience loves to watch a paresh rawal or asrani in comic roles , no matter how repetitive their antics are , but when a kharaj mukherjee does that they call it bharamo . so its better to steer clear of that genre and do a comedy which is different and has other elements too .
most of the games the young cast play in the film are interesting , except one where the boys run on the streets to reach the girl . . .
basically , the games are played so that she ( ridhima ) can choose the right partner from the four boys . more than the games , what is interesting is that each game has a title borrowed from a film , like amanush , asukh , father , kapurush mahapurush . . . . thats very innovative . besides , there are a lot of fantasy elements in the film , like when saswata ( chatterjee ) poses as a psychiatrist . bastobe orom hoy naki , dhur ! i know that when kamalika ( ridhima ) is playing the 10 games , some among the audience are playing 22 mind games ! certain things in the film are not to be taken seriously .
separation and too many divorces . i thought of how a modern - day swayamvar would be like . thats how i developed the story .
but you seem to have a thing for games . even jackpot was based on a reality show .
well , rang milanti is more about an exercise . jackpot was about a reality show and about who won the game . here the game comes as a disguise . i am dealing with a serious issue in the guise of an exercise .
yes , i generally am because i am a very fussy director . i am satisfied with everyone in the film .
churni has mostly been seen in serious roles . what made you cast her as a commercial cinema heroine ?
churni is there in most of my films and i cant offer her similar roles always . her role is inspired by what i see around . its diagonally opposite to what churni is in real life . she is a very no - nonsense person , completely opposite to what saswata ( chatterjee ) is in real life , who loves cracking jokes and pulling ones leg . so , it made my job easy to cast them as husband and wife at loggerheads because in the film too they play very different people .
i think saswata is the most underrated actor in tollywood . i also think he is an indispensable actor . we havent given him his due yet . starting from the bong connection , where he dazzled in a bit role , to laptop ( yet - to - release ) where i have cast him in a very serious role . . . i mean you can just give him anything and he will excel . he is brilliant , be it in his comic timing or emotional scenes . he is the only actor who has successfully created a bridge between television and cinema .
• rang milanti premiere • kim ' s fashion disasters • ten years later . . . • the dulhan with a difference • handle with care ! • pretty priyanka • man booker shortlist • rituparna bares but . . .
prosenjit and rituparno ghosh are taking their celluloid partnership to the small screen with a mega serial for star jalsa . rituparno is writing the script for the yet - untitled serial , to be produced by prosenjits ideas creation production , which is likely to wind up in a year .
its dedicated to rabindranath tagore to mark his 150th birth anniversary . but its based neither on tagores life nor on any of his works . this is a unique concept . its a love story in the form of a musical and ritu ( rituparno ) has written an awesome script ,  said prosenjit .
rituparno has scripted about 40 episodes till now . i was interested in the subject , whether we should see tagore as only an institutionalised identity or be open to a fresh approach and contemporary interpretations . with this as the outline , i have written a story which has a wide range of human emotions and several references to tagore . to me its important that our approach to this subject , which is fit for an academic discourse , is non - judgmental ,  said rituparno .
and i dont feel as if i am writing a mega serial . it is turning out to be much like my film scripts . people who have heard the script are urging me to make a film on it ,  he added .
prosenjit ruled out any chances of making a special appearance in his home project — i am playing the producers part . ideas is a film and tv production house and i was waiting for the right opportunity to get into television ,  he said — and picked arjun , the younger son of actor sabyasachi chakraborty , to play the male lead .
newcomer mimi chakraborty is paired opposite arjun . the cast also features sabyasachis actress wife mithu and elder son gourab .
bumba mamu ( prosenjit ) approached me for the serial . . . its the lead role and i am willing to do it . i have heard the basic outline but dont know anything about my role yet ,  said arjun , a second - year mass communication student of st xaviers college . arjun had acted in a few tv serials as a child .
elder brother gourab , an ftii pune graduate who has edited a couple of documentaries , including one by his father , said : i too am not sure about my role but i am eager to take it up . i would love to do anything related to films .
for the soundtrack , the prosenjit - rituparno team has fallen back on debojyoti mishra , who had done the music for rituparnos chokher bali , raincoat and titli among others .
i am composing the title track and the background score . besides , there will be lots of tagore songs ( chosen by rituparno ) with a contemporary touch . music is the pivot of this serial and since the issue is looking at contemporary interpretations of tagore alongside the traditional , i am weaving in elements of jazz , blues and several other forms ,  said mishra .
the serial will be directed by joydip mukherjee , who has helmed bandhan and ekhane akash neel for star jalsa . the team is targeting a june - end telecast date .
