😱 A Masterpiece From Bollywood? | Qala Movie Review | Tripti Dimri, Babil Khan, Swastika Mukherjee

Tripti dimri deserves to be a leading actress who's booked and busy she's just too good with her script choices and her acting

[@Sacrificallamba]

What I totally love about this film is that it does not uses exploits the actress to show sexual abuse. The scene where Qala wants a second chance to record Ghodey pe sawar, we are made aware of the disgust and helplessness Qala feels after gratifying the producer, but we are not forced to watch her get abused. A lot of movies walk us through such scenes in slow motion shots and exaggerated screams and calls for cry and we know how much the villain is enjoying it. But Anvita dutt simply just cuts the chase and lets us know that victim hated it. I loved the execution soooo much

[@Kathakathan11]

[@sschowdhury7325]

Remember the scene when Babil Khan holds Tripti outside their house in snow and a drone shot shows the puzzle structure exactly the same from which Tripti uses the mercury.

[@anshgala5443]

My interpretation : since that shot showed maze and both of them were inside it. It showed that qala is trapped inside that maze and babil is consoling her (or both of them are trapped inside the maze) And in another shot of maze when qala uses mercury from the small maze. The way mercury moved finding it's way to get out and mix with milk. It showed that with the loss of voice of babil Qala will be freed from the maze. She will finally get out of maze and achieve success, but the maze will become the reason behind tragic end of babil.

[@huhh6969]

This movie made me cry. Qala's behaviour around her mother was a flashback for me. The moment she'd go "sorry mama" was so heartbreaking. The mother was horrible, abusive. All I could think was of the pain qala felt while her mother abandoned her, the strong sense of approval from her mother was so strong. The trauma that she had manifested in her adulthood too. I don't think people even realise that how much an abusive childhood can affect someone, I wish Qala had some love. I don't agree with some comments saying Jagan stole everything, the mother was the main villain. She was the abuser, the boy sang for himself, it was everything for him. The mother was the one who abandoned her own daughter.

[@arinanikolaev1773]

And such cute little sunshine killed the guy. Don't paint characters as black or white. Should the mother say her daughter is the best even when jagan an orphan with no training is better than her.

The doctor was very unprofessional who says the girl child is strong and in case of twins the stronger child in the womb consumes more resulting in the other child delivered weak, 😅😂, probably from that moment she (Mother) was on abusive mode till …….. The biggest problem with the movie is the monotonous lives of the characters, no friends, nobody to share their feelings, well some class does really fall prey for their own upbringings, taboos, irrational decisions!! Tripti is indeed the take away, Bilaal is promising, Amit Trivedi has done fabulous job, DOP is the heart of this film, the vision of the director and the camera work has a great sync. The most beautiful movie yet so passive from beginning till the end is what a downside that I noticed. Karma never leaves anyone. What you sow, so you reap!!!

Ok correct me if I’m wrong alright. Both Jekyll and Hyde and Black Swan talk about dualities of humans. Reputation maintain karna h but I’m also a monster. They also hint to a mental disorder- Dissociative identity disorder, which Dimri’s character develops and manifests Khan’s character.

I think the movie touches on far too many ideas that continue to shape our society. Right from a child seeking validation to just wanting to be loved the way she is, showing how our society pushes us to become successful to deserve love, to her learning from her mother about attractive opportunities the unethical/exploitative way, to mental health. The film indeed tied so many themes together without making it feel too much. A true masterpiece. I can still hear the words 'Aapko mujhe pyaar karna chahiye, main jaisi bhi hoo'.

[@artislife456]

Now,this is where nepotism feels real..Tripti being such a good actress has her films releasing on OTT which is off course coz these are artsy films..But she should be getting the opportunities which sara,jhanvi,ananya nd all r getting..she would probably have to work half her age to get some credible roles in those big films..

I checked around 50 comments in the section and noticed that no one noticed the 'easter egg' in 90% of the scenes including a major one. Whenever Qala is on screen, there is always a dragonfly 🪰 or some sort of moth shown, either on her or around her. Like her saree embroidery, her earrings, the appearance of lamps, her brooch. If you notice Urmila gives Jagan a pretty looking moth made of either diamonds or something precious, which he leaves in Qala's cupboard before committing suicide, like 'you take it since you've been desperate for it'. Major one : When people mourn for Jagan, there is a fly/moth crawling on his face that in next scene Qala tries to kill out of horror. After his death she has a black moth/raven brooch on her Also both her house and studio have gargoyle stautues which depicts toxicity in her environment, especially depicted when music director gets nasty favours done on the balcony. If noticed carefully, while talking to jagan by the river behind Qala is a shadow of horse chariots carousel while talking about its her dream too to get successful and get a golden vinyl, and later after his death there is a shadow of a girl running pretty fast, as if trying to escape Apart from this, when a person tries to take jagans body off the tree, Qala has to hold the body from bottom to prevent it from falling 'plop', but rather both the body and Qala fall depicting her burying under the weight of his death. And as said initially in the film, she's the Survivor, this Survivor took all the nutrition thus killing the sibling . Similarly she did her best to survive by 'just' taking away Jagan's voice, which was his source of life. For her it was her unintentionally naive 'basic nature '. To her she was just trying to breath under toxicity. I would like to highly appreciate the mesmerisingly beautiful music score which is worth playing on a Vinyl record

And maze is also a symbol quite frequently used in the movie like when jagan went outside to console qala the camera pans out to show they both are in the middle of maze design on the ground...also that maze toy with mercury in it which is later the same one which qala uses to poison the milk....I'm not really sure what it actually means but I think it has something to do with Qala's inner jealousy and hatred for jagan which only resides inside her mind like the mercury in the maze game and comes out into action when she actually could not control her emotions any longer and poisons his milk just like the mercury escaped the maze

[@nikitashrivastava2404]

Both of the Laila majnu lead pair- Avinash Tiwary and Tripti dimri not got the deserved appreciation and recognition.

[@sukanyachoudhury6174]

My pov for the moth metaphor is that just like a moth is attracted to a flame and ultimately destroys itself, Qala also wants her mother's attention, love and appreciation to an extent that she also destroys herself completely in order to attain that. Parental neglect and constant comparison can completely destroy a child's life. Also, since childhood she was constantly reminded of not being a son and so can't achieve what a son could for her mother. This hits home. This is true for so many women even now. My parents werr not as excited about my career as they were about my brother's career and I did try most of my life to prove that I was good enough too. Simple logic is that daughter has to live with her husband and ultimately look after home, if she is not doing good in her career then also its fine. So, she doesn't need that much parental attention or guidance for her career. In Qala's case, her mother sadly realised her mistake rather too late. This movie is heartbreaking to the core.

[@himanshubhoria5988]

The cinematography & the song "shauq" itself sent me flying in another dimension.

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

IKR! I have it on loop on Spotify!

[@sudhirkumarpattanayak3429]

That maze scene where tripti and babil were in 1st scene and at last the drop of mercury passing through the maze is just brilliant writing...!!

[@val-schaeffer1117]

Anvita was brave enough to personally receive the "Golden Kela" award for "Ishq wala love". Great to see that has come long way since then. I am sure, this film will earn her great accolades. And Tripti Dimri is an excellent actress. Hope to see more from her.

[@cynical6785]

I have just watched the movie and here are my interpretations:- 1. This piece seems to me like a Shakespearean tragedy especially when Tripti's character washes off the mercury from her hands like Lady Macbeth did 2. The maze gifted by Iqbal's character is a reference from the Greek mythology and it is the Labyrinrh made by Dedalus to stop the monster. But as we can see in the movie the protagonist somehow gets out of that maze (by putting the mercury in his drink) and finally the monster unleashes within her. 3. The motif of the snow and the statue like a black demon shows the emptiness in the protagonist 4. Even the house she lives in the present has been dilapidated and is juxtaposed to the condition of her mental state. 5. I personally love this scene when Iqbal's character enters the house and with the turn of the camera we can see the lighting of the lamps that shows the anger of the protagonist. Ps - this is just a person who loves literature, mythology, and such a brilliant masterpieces and I'm dying to talk about this movie to someone who could understand these things I wish I could talk to jammypants🥲🙂❤🤎

To the team of Qala, I am stunned, awestrucked with what I just saw on Netflix. Scenes from Himachal from attic were majestic, lead characters acting, vulnerability, her conveyance of fear and the feeling of being left out makes my heart, eyes and all six senses tingled.the way women are treated when they are settling fresh footprints on their journey, their bodily sacrifices and sunch monstrous men or monsters themselves, was so heart wrenching to watch. My heart is filled with so much appreciation for the visual treat you gave us. The day it's song ghode pe sawaar( my favourite) and it's trailer launched i have been waiting for an experience to watch this, and after watching it i can't Stop thinking about it. Its pure art , it's bliss, it's such a fine filmmaking. Lots of love ❤️

[@dhven9274]

This movie is an experience. Brilliantly made with each actor delivering their character perfectly.

[@AudioNovelLovers]

i fell in love with tripti's beauty in LAILA MAJNU and then with her acting skills in BulBul... i just knew from that moment on that tripti can never have a bad project... i am so frickin excited for her next venture on the big screen with Ranbir Kapoor in ANIMAL which will be her best one, i'm sure.

[@samikshamehta6888]

The film has left a deep impact over my mind, seriously the dark theme, no bright colours in the life of the characters and pain of Qala despite achieving heights. Everything was beautiful but heart broken, I felt really bad for Jagan, he was an orphan who just had his voice as his 'own'. Very few movies come like Qala which makes you think about it for a very long time.

[@farhannoor3433]

Tripti Dimri HAS to be the next big star in bollywood. NO one is doing it like her right now. I've never felt excited about anyone like this before. I'll watch each and every film of hers a thousand times! SHE DESERVES EVERYTHING. 😭😭😭😭

[@KristiCulture]

Tripti Dhimri is a pure art ❤️She should be celebrated by Bollywood !

[@unfilteredtraveller]

Tripti, Babil , Swastika and the entire supporting cast including Varun Grover are so real , honest and relatable in the movie....Anvita Dee keeps surprising and inspiring....And music is so good that I don't want to comment upon it....also, I think Clean slate films deserves appreciation with the kinds of scripts they choose.... despite of every other production house focusing on remakes and no-brainer movies with bad music And I loved the cameo appearance of Anushka 💕

Tripti is criminally underrated and that makes my blood boil shes just so freaking good, from her first film 🤍 I really hope animal and the film with vicky kaushal change things for her❤️

[@mermaidia]

This movie will stay on my mind for years. Hauntingly resonant of emotions that everyone has experienced in many parts and the ache that follows, vividly painted on the screen, makes it a masterpiece in today's Bollywood.

[@2002georgezacharia]

I seriously feel that Tripti deserves much more success. became her big fan after Laila Majnu :)

[@DrArchanaTurimella]

I have been eagerly waiting for this movie since a long time... Tripti Dimri is always a feast for eyes... Her acting talent, her aura.. i have watched Bulbul movie twice back to back. She is magic

This is Amit Trivedi 's second best album. Bombay Velvet still remains on the top. A album which deserved attention, still hope it reaches the audience it deserves.

[@GaurangRangpadiya]

"Phero na Najariya" Damn. I discovered this song just 2 days ago. and I have listened it more than 20 times. Jamy, You did not mentioned this song once and it breaks my heart...

[@thirst-t2653]

Standing ovation to the team...The leading lady Tripti...Swastika did excellent job...Baabil so much looked like Irfaan KHan from some angle...I did not believe it was his first attempt as he fit the footing at par....wish him all the best to carry his dad legacy forward....music decent.and ...yes the cinematography was too good....just too good...starting from start initial frames of introduction to the end....seems like too many artistic mind worked in unison gracefully....though a gloomy depressing story but the execution is way to professional level....really we needed to see this type of movie....!!!

Qala is a visual and cinematic masterpiece with best songs,music,lyrics and Shahid mallya has been phenomenal Tripti damri is so vulnerable as Qala that no award can do justice to her perfomance

[@96Jazangel]

I am not desi but I am a huge appreciator and fan of Indian cinema. QALA is a masterpiece of cinema. Never have I watched a film be able to handle such dark and heavy themes in such a manner that it conveys itself as poetry. It took my breath away and I can honestly say it’s a piece of work that’s left an impression on me. Huge fan of every crew member and cast member on this film now.

[@emulator4621]

In my opinion when movie/series is to be produced for ott platforms, pressure on the creators is quite less which allows everyone to try new things.

[@BinayKumar-qc3le]

Tripti Dimri... again proved her talent... don't know why she is so much underrated.. Babil Khan looks promising... hope we get chance to see both in more films

[@nandinipriyadarshinijana7032]

There's a Bengali cinema named Hami 2, surrounding around childhood and its dynamics which released in 2022. I had watched only the trailer, but what I understood is how parents always want to make their children geniuses before anything, even if it comes at a cost of the end of childhood too much earlier. The main character has some special talent as a kid, and his parents did everything to use this as a way to make him famous and established in childhood only. But this created boundaries between the boy, his younger sister and his parents. The most heartbreaking yet impactful line was, "Don't become a wonder, otherwise you'll yourself become wondered".

[@rameezrazaansari4534]

Monica oh my darling, unchai drishyam 2, bhediya , and now QaLa.. November has brought the much needed joy for the Bollywood lovers 😎😎

[@SoloBackpacker_K]

Tripti Dimri being not as mainstream as a Sara, Jhanvi or Ananya is the worst aspect of Nepotism. I don't have a problem star kids getting early success but the likes of Tripti not getting her due is totally frustrating

[@shazrashid1148]

Special mention of sireesha bhagavatula She absolutely nailed the song ghode pe sawar hai. It is melodious

[@ananyaaa401]

Also Phero Na Najariya! Stunning ✨

[@kritiparasher7747]

It's a brilliant movie with amazing sound tracks but no one talked about the the song "Amma puchdi" (Himachali folk song) the movie starts and ends with this track. It's beautifully placed in the movie and the lyrics justify the moments captured. This song was also part of the album Pehchan by Silk Route sung by Mohit Chauhan renamed "Morni"

[@71espn]

Yes that song was hauntingly beautiful but it is not on the official jukebox of the film uploaded on youtube. You can only find the song in the film.

[@idkatthispoint-s9s]

I was so surprised when I heard it because my Pahadi ex told me about that song long back. Remembered her suddenly haha, we had to separate cos of certain circumstances.

Can we talk about how Anushka and Karnesh are producing bomb film one by one. I heard Anushka in one of her interviews saying that “we want to make movies that we like watching” which is very thoughtful. I think you should acknowledge the choice of projects by Clean Slate Productions. P.S I love your channel and content. Keep up your honesty.

I don't usually force my friends to watch a particular movie but with Qala , I actually was forcing everyone to watch this cause this great cinema and happens so even my friends loved it ❤️

@Anmol : Jammy..!! Its not Kalaa, its Qalaa from the epiglotis. Anyways Kalaa in hindi means talent and Qala in urdu means the Void or Vacuum you have in life even when you have everything as potrayed by the protagonist here !! This masterpiece truly justifies its title !

And almost every detail of this movie is something else, be it its music .. the singers..the marvelous actors.. the screenplay.. the story flow.. the cinematography.. the colours and what not! Musical magic created by AMIT TRIVEDI and the singers is top notch. Loved almost everything about this movie.

Finally a movie we all indians needed the most..a kind view point..how we all are creating villans ourselves..(saying about,the villans bollywood have shown us..from childhood..which holds jealously..and seeks love from the main actresses or actors)the toxicity our society holds..and more than that how our parents or we are having childrens..even though not ready for parenting..because of these small small mistakes how much a child might hurt..or get traumatize..nobody can understand...

Well like they generalise that parents are always good, you are generalising that parents are always cruel or unprepared. Both are wrong generalisations

[@subhajitdeysarkar9724]

The ghore pe sawar was so beautifully portrayed. You could hear the growth of Qala with every take. The cinematography was breath taking and the music was soul rendering perfectly juxtaposing the dark twisted story line.

[@AfrahAamer]

Waited so long for this movie and your review since the trailer launch! From the trailer, I was confused whether Babil's character would be a part of Qala's psyche (Dissociative Identity Disorder) or an original character, but the movie did both, which was shocking but makes so much sense in the story! Been listening to the discography for a week now and Amit Trivedi shaped the atmosphere with the music. Visuals are a totally a treat to the eyes and reminded me alot of one of my favourite KDramas, 'It's Okay to Not be Okay'. A 10/10 movie for sure.

[@animeshrose]

Just watched it today. A true masterpiece shows how a bad upbringing can impact adulthood and it may even end up disastrous for everyone. Every child deserves to be loved. So heartbroken right now.💔

[@samirajmeri]

Agreed about "Tripti Dimri" 👍 She is one of Brilliant actor, I have come across recently! I saw the movie Bulbbul recently and was in Awe with her overall presence in that movie, as well as shocked that she had very few number of movie projects released so far ..... She certainly deserves lot more projects to come on her way, unless she decides to have few. Another thing her acting energy and her presense potentials reminds me more of my another favorite actor, "Jennifer Lawrence".
