Batra achieves a whole lot with very little: That scene locates you in a place where space is merely a state of mind. He reproduces the essence of Mumbai, a city where almost everyone is playing catch up, a city where every second is employed in the struggle to get by. After all, Batra holds a reputation for being a minimalist with a keen eye for detail. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/admin.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/photograph-ritesh-batra-nawazuddin-siddiqui-sanya-malhotra\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is exalted by its lived-in details, whether it is translating the economic depravity and suffocation of five grown men sharing a one-room chawl, or the presence of Campa Cola, a soft drink brand that went out of production a few years ago. In the last seven years, Batra \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/andhadhun-review-sriram-raghavan-ayushmann-khurrana-tabu\/\">Sriram Raghavan<\/a> \u2013 has earned the reputation of being a director whose detailed canvases can rationalise every component of his films. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps, that\u2019s why it comes as a bit of a shock when Batra\u00a0\u2013 a self-confessed fan of film posters\u00a0\u2013 claims that there are no hidden clues in the two English titles of his Hindi films, which also play a significant character in the plot. When I prod further, he laughs the pattern off as a non-connection, \u201cI think people place too much importance on titles. In any film,\u201d he tells me. \u201cEverytime I write something, the document is on my desktop as \u2018Untitled\u2019. It\u2019s when I send it out to somebody to read and tell me what they think that I have to come up with something bright at that moment. And then that\u2019s usually the title of the movie, you know?\u201d It\u2019s not the origin story I expected.\u00a0But then Batra reveals that the ambivalence stems partly from his eagerness to make a &#8220;movie that is more than the title&#8221;. Unlike what can be said about a majority of Bollywood offerings.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p><em>Photograph<\/em> feels like the culmination of Ritesh Batra\u2019s insistence on making Hindi films far removed from the stilted imagination and limitations of Bollywood. <\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batra\u2019s insistence on straying away from the traditional Bollywood narrative is also a pattern \u2013 unlike several Hindi films, Batra chooses to build entire films around one scene. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lunchbox<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it was Sajjan and Ila\u2019s hapless meeting in that quaint Matunga cafe and in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he tells me, it was the film\u2019s flashback ending \u2013 a moment that in any other star-crossed romance, would be the beginning. \u201cFor me, the entire film revolved around the last scene because I was always trying to earn it and how we could get there while keeping every moment that preceded it, believable.\u201d The scene that Batra refers to, is ambitious in its design, at the risk of appearing underwhelming. Just like the rest of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet more than anything, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> feels like the culmination of Batra\u2019s insistence on making Hindi films far removed from the stilted imagination and limitations of Bollywood. It\u2019s tempting to interpret his two Hindi films as an act of defiance that cements his outsider status. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Photograph&#8217;s<\/em> premise, for instance, that of a rich girl falling in love with a poor guy, is an oft-abused Hindi star-crossed romance template and yet Batra turns that trope on its head by refusing to define their relationship. \u201cFor <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I was inspired by the <a href=\"https:\/\/admin.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/made-in-heaven-zoya-akhtar-myth-bollywood-marriages\/\">Hindi films<\/a> in the 80s and 90s where a poor guy and a rich girl would fall in love. He would always be a motor mechanic and it was always the rich girl who was shrewd and had a bad temper,\u201d Batra states. But when he watched those films while growing up, he wasn\u2019t entirely convinced about whether it was actually possible to bridge that distance between two people who come from contrasting corners of life, \u201cI didn\u2019t believe that two people like that could ever be drawn toward each other, unless they were a particular kind of people. So with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I was more invested in finding out the motivations and hesitations of these two characters.\u201d <\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1553084742.jpg\" alt=\"Ritesh Batra\" width=\"611\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47210\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Ritesh Batra comes across as someone who is almost over-protective of his voice. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result is a songless film that spends two hours just observing its leads find themselves while finding their way toward each other without badgering their story toward a destination. It\u2019s certainly not a film that Bollywood would ever make. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph\u2019s<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> languid pace comes off as both a gamble and a weakness: It\u2019s risky of a director, concerned with crafting Hindi films that travel globally to not play by the rules, but it\u2019s also a move that alienates a chunk of the Hindi-speaking audience, reared on spoon-fed Bollywood narratives. Batra however, remains unfazed about these external factors. \u201cThe pace of the film should always be defined by its characters and how long they would believably take to want something.\u201d <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not surprising then, that Batra gives across the impression of being someone who is almost over-protective of his voice. It\u2019s also the first thing he knew he had to take away from his female protagonist in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cMiloni couldn\u2019t have a lot of dialogues because she is the kind of person who doesn\u2019t have a lot of chance in her life to make decisions. That excited me \u2013 taking away her lines and still making it work.\u201d It\u2019s an inventive move that pays off: Miloni (played by<a href=\"https:\/\/admin.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/sanya-malhotra-photograph-ritesh-batra-dangal\/\"> Sanya Malhotra<\/a>) single-handedly offers <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its tender coming-of-age story which is underlined by a sharp critique of the diminished agency of Indian women. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, much of Batra\u2019s conviction in his storytelling stems from the fact that he is one of the rare Hindi film directors who seems to have cracked the code of making Hindi films without being dependent on Bollywood studios. For instance, the director spent close to a year to put together<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through global pre-sales, selling it in every territory of the world to different distributors before actually shooting it \u2013 the India and US rights were bought by Amazon Studios. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a remarkable demonstration of a director maximising his reputation to buy his stories the kind of independence that even mainstream filmmakers crave for. It&#8217;s precisely why, irrespective of how divisive the reactions to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photograph<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been, it\u2019s almost impossible to fault <em>Photograph<\/em> for not being imaginative \u2013 a trait that is anyway, seasonal in mainstream Hindi cinema.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ritesh Batra spent close to a year to put together Photograph through global pre-sales, selling it in every territory of the world to different distributors before actually shooting it.
