An ultimate entertainer - The answer sheet

DAM/FOC 2010

Shyam Benegal comes as the distinguished chief guest to grace the august occasion.

A plethora of gifts await him from the batch of 2010.

Mr. Benegal delivers his speech and a student gifts the luminary an assorted & amalgamated collage of some answer scripts of 2010 titled, “ANKUR: The unknown facets”

Some excerpts:

(These are original lines taken from the answer sheet of Batch 2010, Sem I Question, about ANKUR shot breakdown and analysis)

The OLD movie Ankur deals with the time of EMERGENCY, in HYDERABAD. In the final scene, we see that the dumb husband of the protagonist going to the landlord, not knowing that THE CHILD INSIDE HIS WIFE IS HIS. In the EMOTION-PACKED FIREWORKS dialogue, the audience EMPATHISES with her. In an extreme ARIAL aka SURF shot, the villagers are shown climbing up the hill. An argument erupts and then a shattering noise erupts.

VOLCANOES ALL AROUND??

Analysis: The shots in Ankur are all small shots and extremely small shots. All the shots of the BOSS whipping kistiya are small shots. The last sequence where the boy keeps looking is extremely long in nature. Also when he runs down the road is an extremely long shot and then the boy VANISHES down the path.

HOLY COW, THIS IS INDEED BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shilpa turns lekshmi, lekshmi turns sarawati .parvathy...and the role plays continues after every page of the answer script. Reincarnation. Indian context. Also in Ankur where Dr. Rao comes to meet… pheww… Rao in ankur?

The whole scene has a lot of cuts….So what about bruises?

The various new shots : extra long shot. Small shot. Extremely small shot.

SOME OF THOSE EXPERT COMMENTS FROM THE EVALUATOR AFTER READING THE SELECT SHOTS

Are you for real?

Hieroglyphics ?

Imagination?

Facts meets fantasy.

Dreaming?

Forgive me my lord. I did not recognize this shot.

Comedy of errors.

Eg: Miraculously disappearing kishtiya. Visibly mooved kisthiya.

The film has a lot of emotional quotient in it. EQ.. :P

Documentary ankur….

The kid is a very silent character who is unaware of the situation and later he too understands everything and throws a stone and breaking down the window pane. Phewww…

I am fainting…

Eg: doing the crime of robbering. She cries & is afraid and will not do it AGAIEN.

So in my point of view there is 6 scene or shot breakdown and the combination is one sequence.

EUREKA!!

Science fiction?

HELP!!

GOD Tussi great ho!!

PRICELESS

QUALIFIES FOR KINDERGARTEN

After striking off whatever is written the examiner asks… were u against trees?

The ultimate answer:

The four types of changing image sizes are the extreme close up, close up, medium length, long length and extreme long length.

A close shot is taken where one of the two men hold her leg and put up her saree. So we know and realize what will happen next. I.e. she is going to be raped.

The extreme close shot of the man and Shabana Azmi are taken. Now we come to know that he is raping her. The extreme close up shot shows his expression and we realize that he is putting in EFFORTS.

Clap clap clap.. Cheers to the above EFFORT.. :P

Eg; shabana Azmi’s eloped husband is afrightened.

Shot 10: His real mom is shown working with vegetables… hahhahahaha

SHYAM BENEGAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT, but takes the souvenir as a lesson learnt late in life. The ultimate tribute came when Benegal added new words from the answer sheets in THE POCKET OXFORD DICTIONARY.
