All We Imagine As Light premiere at MAMI: Payal Kapadia reveals her love for Govinda-Raveena Tandon’s Dulhe Raja; calls it a ‘SOCIALIST film’

The grand premiere of All We Imagine As Light was held at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024 on Friday, October 18 at Mumbai’s iconic Regal Cinema. The process of entering the cinema hall was rather chaotic. But once everyone was inside and settled down in the lovely single-screen theatre, all the hardships were forgotten. The programme began with Shivendra Singh Dungarpur asking people to bear any shortcomings in the current edition at MAMI as they are going through “a transition year”. The evening became memorable as the graceful Waheeda Rehman felicitated Shabana Azmi for completing 50 years as an actor.

Once it was done, the team of All We Imagine As Light was introduced to a lot of applause. The film has made waves globally after it won the prestigious Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. The much-awaited film then finally began and the excitement could be felt in the air.

After the film was over and it received a huge applause, director Payal Kapadia once again came on stage and she was joined by lead actors Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam and others. Payal then sat down and had a post-screening chat with eminent journalist Anupama Chopra.

Payal Kapadia talked about the film, the love-hate relation she and millions of others share with Mumbai and why she insists on a lot of retakes. Raising funds to make the film was a challenge but it’s all behind her. She said that she chose to look at the positives, “The film is being released in India. Somebody is going to buy a ticket to watch my film. How nice is that!” All We Imagine As Light is all set to release in cinemas on November 22.

The audience was pleasantly surprised when Payal Kapadia, who made such a niche film, revealed in an interview that she’s a fan of the ‘No 1’ film series of Govinda. The filmmaker was asked about it and she said, “I implied that I love Dulhe Raja (1998). Remember this film? I mean, it’s a socialist film! You should see it.”

Besides Govinda, it starred Raveena Tandon and Kader Khan. It was the story of a dhaba owner and his face-off with the owner of a five-star hotel. The film is fondly remembered for its funny moments and the super-hit song ‘Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare’.

Payal Kapadia continued, “These are the films I watched as I grew up at that time. We would embrace all we could learn from this cinema.”
