Actor Parvin Dabas might have a tongue twister of a title for his debut film as director,but he is sure that there is an interesting story behind Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande. While he had made up his mind to play with the words right job,wrong guys,he found it difficult to find an apt translation of the English phrase,in Hindi. That is when he decided to run an in-house contest for the cast and crew of the film,with a prize of Rs 15,000. Soon,Anupam Kher,who is also acting in the film,came to know about the contest and put it on Twitter. A boy came up with Sahi Dhandhe,Galat Bande, says Dabas,who was in Chandigarh to promote the directorial debut,which releases on August 19.
The name of the actors production house being called Very Fishy Films,co-owned with wife Preeti Jhangiani,also has a reason. He says. I love water,am a keen scuba diver,thats why the word fishy, says Dabas,who aims to make films that are complete entertainers,with a message. His SDGB is an action-packed comedy,revolving around four main characters,a gang of boys who run into a problem and must make a choice between right and wrong. Starring Kuldip Rohil,Ashish Nayyar,Chandigarhs Vansh Bhardwaj,Tina Desai and veterans like Kher,Yashpal Sharma,Kiran Juneja Sippy and Sharat Saxena,Dabas conducted test runs of the film and made changes according to the feedback. The girls at Jai Hind College in South Mumbai enjoyed watching the test runs the most , says Dabas.
Speaking about the films he hopes to work on in the future,he says,We will look at sensible entertainers. Nothing pseudo,intellectual or arty. With the success of films like Stanley Ka Dabba and Udaan,we know that the publics cinematic taste is improving and its a great time to be in Indian cinema.
