TIFF 2018: Director Vasan Bala on Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota, winner of audience choice award
FirstpostMard Ko Dard Nahin Hota by Vasan Bala is a quirky action film that just won the People’s Choice Prize for Best Midnight Madness at the Toronto International Film Festival. Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota [The Man Who Feels No Pain> by Vasan Bala is a quirky action film that just won the People’s Choice Prize for Best Midnight Madness at the Toronto International Film Festival. Taking off from his debut crime thriller Peddlers, which also premiered at TIFF in 2012, MKDNH is Bala’s tribute to the action films of the 1980s, and is a bona fide homage to Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi, Jackie Chan, Buster Keaton, Mithun Chakraborty, Stephen Chow, Bruce Lee, and every other action star who graced our VHS tapes and livened up our otherwise dull pre-cable TV sets and childhoods. You take a dialogue like “Mard ko dard nahin hota” [A man does not feel pain>, an epitome of Bollywood masculinity, and then turn it on its head with a very interesting female character… Yes, Supri is actually the most fulfilled character in the film.
