Gul Panag: Our films lack a beginning or an end

Gul Panag says Hindi movies lack story and structure

Highlights

  • Gul Panag, mostly seen in off-beat films, feels that the scripts of Hindi movies lack story and structure.
  • The former Miss India started her acting journey with critically acclaimed off-beat film Dhoop, based on a true story, and was appreciated for her work in films like Dor, Manorama Six Feet Under, and Turning 30. The actress, not seen in Hindi movies for a while, launched Atulya Mahajan's book Amreeka Desi.
  • When asked whether the book could provide a good plot for a movie, she said: "I don't know because Hindi movies don't normally have good plots." "I do hope there are people out there who understand that films need to have a beginning, an end and a story, which doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately," added the 34-year-old.
  • Having said that, Gul feels content-wise Amreeka Desi is apt for film adaptation.
  • "So, if there were any takers who really want to make a film that was tight, that had an interesting structure, which was telling a compelling story, I think they would buy the rights to this book. I think it has the potential to make a good film," Gul said.
  • She will soon be seen in Punjabi film Sarsa.
