Yami and Pulkit are reported to have been dating since they started filming Sanam Re.

“It’s nice that people love the pairing. I haven’t seen such a response to any pairing for a long time. It feels very nice. It is a huge compliment for the hard work that we have put in. We really appreciate that. I am very happy,” Pulkit told PTI in an interview.

“Gossip or rumours about my personal life do not bother me. If people are saying whatever they are saying, I take it as a compliment for the onscreen chemistry that we share. That means people like our work. Had people not liked our chemistry, they wouldn’t have said anything about us. I don’t care about the rumours. We are way beyond that,” said Pulkit.

Pulkit and Yami will soon be seen in Junooniyat. Pulkit said that he had signed the film before Sanam Re.

“Junooniyat was the first film that we signed. Sanam Re happened later and we both did not know that the other person is doing Sanam Re. We started shooting for Junooniyat before Sanam Re and after 10-15 days, we were on the sets of Sanam Re. We shot both the films simultaneously,” said Pulkit.

Junooniyat narrates the story of an Army officer, Jahaan Bakshi (Pulkit) and a simple girl, Suhaani Kapoor, played by Yami. For Pulkit, the fact that Junooniyat is a love story of two similar people, sets it apart from other romantic films.

“A highlight of the story for me was that two very similar people are in love. Normally, we see the story of two opposites falling in love but that’s not the case here. I found that interesting. A love story definitely demands a great onscreen chemistry between its actors. But according to Pulkit, chemistry not only depends on the performing artists but the whole crew which works to get each romantic scene right,” said Pulkit.

“Definitely, the most important part of a love story is the chemistry between the two actors because a love story is about a guy and a girl meeting and falling in love. You don’t see love coming across if the chemistry is not there. But the chemistry is also not only about the two people playing the characters. It is also about how well they are written and performed and that happens only when the entire team is in sync,” added Pulkit.

The central premise of the film is so overly pea-brained that the comedy that it delivers is ‘explosive’ only in that it manages to reduce any genuine prospects of humour to smithereens.

Two misguided lads from a strife-torn land called Bangistan, in their enthusiasm to serve a cause, get sucked into a global terror plot in faraway Krakow, Poland. That’s quite a stretch!

The bombs that the duo plans to detonate prove to be an anti-climax. They go off well ahead of time.

The film, on its part, implodes even earlier. It runs out of ammunition halfway through and then scampers around in circles in the company of the two blundering protagonists.

Bangistan is the cinematic equivalent of a loose cannon that is way off the mark. But rest assured, its many messy misfires certainly aren’t for want of trying.
If anything, first-time director Karan Anshuman goes all out to drive home his point about the primacy of peace, love and brotherhood in a world in the grip of hatred and violence. Clap, clap!

If only he knew of a concept called moderation and stopped short of the point of no return, the output might have been far less tedious.

Bangistan stretches its meagre narrative resources to snapping point, but is unable to achieve even a smidgen of coherence.

In the imaginary landscape that the film is set in, two religious leaders, one Muslim and the other Hindu (Tom Alter and Shiv Subramanian respectively), decide that they must do their bit for mankind and restore order.

So they draw up plans to head to the world religions conference in Krakow and deliver a joint appeal for amity from the pulpit there.

But two other religion-obsessed men – a guruji with political ambitions and a militant leader with designs to be the next Osama bin Laden (both played by Kumud Mishra) – conspire to scuttle the peace plan by sending a handpicked suicide bomber each to the venue.

The two chosen terrorists trade religious identities before the mission gets underway in order to fox the world.

Call centre employee Hafeez bin Ali (Riteish Deshmukh), becomes Ishwarchandra Sharma and struggling Hanuman impersonator Praveen Chaturvedi (Pulkit Samrat) turns into Allah Rakha Khan.

The two men exchange predictably superficial inanities about faith. In one scene, they strip down to their bare essentials to reveal, well, striped undies of the same colour.

Yes, that is the depth that their constant banter plumbs. They have a go at each other over their assumed avatars and on the positives of the religion that each now represents.

Two other characters pop in and out of the picture: Rosie (Jacqueline Fernandez) and Bangladeshi migrant Tamim (Chandan Roy Sanyal).

The former works as a bartender in a pub called Bull and Boar, where the two protagonists discover the joys of shots of Polish vodka.

The latter is a glib cabbie who moonlights as an agent for illegal migrants.

While Tamim is heard at one point of the film referring to the two Bangistani troublemakers as “these bloody terrorists”, Rosie makes no bones about the fact that she has no religion.

The result of this bunch of people working at cross-purposes is utter confusion, which reaches a crescendo in a grotesquely chaotic climax.

Bangistan is marked by a splash of colours, with green and saffron predictably holding sway over many of the frames.

But these shades never gel well enough to deliver an effective advertisement for the historic Polish city that the action unfolds in.

The involvement of the Polish Film Commission with the intention of promoting the country as a location is announced upfront in the credits.

Bangistan has been shot by Polish cinematographer Szymon Lenkowski. He does not lose any opportunity to capture the city of Krakow in all its splendour.
Unfortunately for Lenkowski and his beautiful country, the hammy actors keeping getting in the way and mucking up the view.

Bangistan, for all the hoopla that it whips up, is a damp squib that does not deliver much bang for the buck. It is neither a blast nor a riot.

It is more like an overpainted runaway truck that loses its wheels before the trip has well and truly begun.

It careens out of control before you can say bang and hurtles scratchily down a path that hits a dead-end all too quickly. Stay out of the way.

If you really desire to visit Krakow, pack your bags and spare yourself a Bangistan detour.

In the film the actors play a role of aspiring terrorist who have same plan but are clueless. The movie will also see leggy-lass Jacqueline Fernandez. The film was earlier slated for April release.

While Riteish plays a fumbling Hindu fundamentalist, Pulkit plays a clumsy Muslim one.

Directed by critic-turned-filmmaker Karan Anshuman, the film is produced by Farhan Akhtar‘s Excel Entertainment and Junglee Pictures. The film is set to release on April 17, 2015.
