    Uunchai Took Me to New Heights, Both Literally and Creatively” – Sooraj Barjatya on Winning National Award for Best Director https://todaynow.in/uunchai-took-me-to-new-heights-both-literally-and-creatively-sooraj-barjatya-on-winning-national-award-for-best-director/ Tue, 08 Oct 2024 13:35:43 +0000 https://todaynow.in/?p=6567  

    At the 70th National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi, Sooraj Barjatya and Neena Gupta proudly accepted their awards from President Droupadi Murmu, marking yet another milestone in their illustrious careers. Barjatya, the iconic filmmaker known for his grand family dramas, has won the prestigious National Award for Best Director for his film Uunchai. The film, produced by Rajshri Productions in collaboration with Mahaveer Jain Films and Boundless Media, has been celebrated for its emotional depth and breathtaking visuals. Alongside Barjatya’s win, Uunchai also brought recognition to veteran actress Neena Gupta, who won her second National Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film.

     

    Reflecting on his journey with Uunchai, Barjatya shared, “Uunchai wasn’t the kind of film people expected from me. It didn’t have the usual grandeur of my earlier works, but it came from my heart. I didn’t choose Uunchai; it chose me. Today, this award is the perfect culmination of that journey.”

     

    *A Bold Cinematic Adventure*

     

    Uunchai, the 60th film from Rajshri Productions, was conceived and shot during the pandemic, a time of great uncertainty for filmmakers and audiences alike. The film tells the poignant story of friendship, hope, and resilience, shot against the backdrop of the Himalayas. It was the first Hindi film to be shot at Everest Base Camp, over 17,000 feet above sea level, making it both a physical and creative challenge for the entire cast and crew.

     

    “This film pushed me to new heights, both literally and creatively,” Barjatya said, recounting the risks involved in shooting in such extreme conditions. The film’s emotional resonance and stunning visuals connected deeply with audiences, proving once again that a great story can transcend conventional filmmaking expectations.

     

    *National Recognition and Reflection*

     

    Thirty years after Hum Aapke Hain Koun won the National Award for Best Popular Film, Barjatya once again stood on the prestigious stage, this time honored as Best Director. “Back then, as a young director, the rush of excitement was overwhelming. Today, the feeling is one of deep gratitude and calm,” Barjatya reflected. He dedicated the award to Rajshri Productions, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and to the mentors who helped shape his career, including Shri Mahesh Bhatt, Shri N. Chandra, and Shri Hiren Nag.

     

    *Neena Gupta’s Triumph*

     

    In addition to Barjatya’s win, Uunchai earned Neena Gupta her second National Award for Best Supporting Actress. Gupta’s portrayal of Shabina Siddique brought an emotional richness and depth to the film, which was widely praised by critics and audiences alike. “Neena Gupta’s performance in Uunchai is a testament to her extraordinary talent and dedication. Her win is well deserved, and it only adds to the joy of this recognition,” Barjatya commented.

     

    *A Collaborative Win*

     

    Uunchai was the result of a successful collaboration between Rajshri Productions, Mahaveer Jain Films, and Boundless Media. The film’s success was a testament to the teamwork and dedication of everyone involved, from the production team to the star-studded cast, which included Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Sarika, and Parineeti Chopra.

     

    “My entire cast was my backbone during the making of Uunchai,” Barjatya said. “Their belief in me and the film, and their willingness to endure such challenging conditions, made this journey unforgettable.”

     

    *A Legacy Reimagined*

     

    With Uunchai, Sooraj Barjatya has once again demonstrated his ability to evolve as a filmmaker while staying true to the core values that have defined his career. His National Award win, along with Neena Gupta’s, reinforces the lasting impact of the film and its message of hope, perseverance, and friendship. As Uunchai continues to inspire audiences, Barjatya is already looking ahead.

     

    “I’m not done yet,” he said with a smile. “There are many more stories to tell and many more heights to reach.”
