The latest girl friend of Bollywood has nothing to do with its namesake made by Satyen Bose in 1960 with artistes like Kishore Kumar, Waheeda Rehman and Nasir Hussain.
Tanya (Isha Koppikar) and Sapna (Amrita Arora) are two friends, together since college, living together and enjoying life. Both are into male bashing. Whatever Tanya does, Sapna follows.
The story portrays the shades of friendship, love and womanhood. Amrita Arora as Isha Koppikar's childhood friend in the film, is caught between her friend and her boyfriend, played by Ashish Chowdhry. She loves both of them. From Isha's side, it is obvious that it is more than just a platonic relationship. This film just proves that Models are getting their fair share in the film industry. First Karan Shot Shawar Ali In his film "Hawas", now it is the turn of Ashish Chowdhry in Girlfriend. Having played a role in Harry Baweja's Qayamat, Ashish seems to have his hands full. As to why the director thought of such a topic for his film, only he can answer. In an excerpt from an interview, Karan Razdan claimed "There are no hot scenes between the two girls, but you have to read between the lines and understand the film. I have seen such a sandwich in real life. If you see carefully around you, there are many cases of such type." We will have to wait and see the film, to decide if the public can digest such themes. Men beware; such movies are probably portraying reality!
According to the director, the relationship between two the female protagonists is not shown in sexual manner. But at the same time, viewers will see a scene in the film where Tania is dreaming that Sapna caresses her. Our guess about what this means is as good as ours. And moreover, there are some hints given in the film that indicates Tania's lesbian urges.
Girl Friend will be released soon and it will prove Karan's place in the industry. Also, it will prove to be an important film for all three lead artistes of it because none of them are established will.
Produced by Pammi Baweja and written-directed by Karan Razdan, the movie is scheduled for release on June 11th.
