Summary:
Mumbai, Oct 26 PTI) Adapting a movie from a different culture and making it relevant for Indian audiences is challenging, says director Ram Madhvani who was keen to explore the story of a fallen hero in "Dhamaka".The film, a remake of the South Korean title "The Terror Live", features Kartik Aaryan as a cynical ex-TV news anchor.
Aryan"s character gets an alarming call on his radio show and sees it as a chance for a career comeback but it may cost him his conscience.
"It is always tough to make it culturally rooted and make it acceptable.
It took me a lot of time to figure out how to make it for everyone across all age groups as a family film," Madhvani told PTI.With “Dhamaka”, Madhvani said the aim is to offer a take on ambition and what one gains or loses while climbing the ladder of success."‘Dhamaka’ is about a man who is ambitious and loses some of his value systems and the central question that the film asks is ‘Kya khoya kya paya’.
That is for all of us whether it is in a relationship or work-life balance.
What are the things that we begin to lose and gain in doing what we have to do? It is about a fallen hero and it is tragic,” he said.The toughest part was to crack the theme of the movie, according to Madhvani.
