"Urf Professor" - Brave Work By Brave Director.

What do you think if i say who is "Pankaj Advani"? 90 percent answers will be "Snooker Player", and if i exclude snooker player from "Pankaj Advani", then probably most of the answer will be "i don't know", Lemme tell you who was that guy. He was one of director who tried to bring the dark comedy in bollywood, and obviously it didn't worked because of censor board, Now i'm not getting into what the board should and shouldn't do, but i like to say something about his work.

I don't know how many of you have watched "Sankat City", That's the movie pankal directed, and mind you it was brilliantly directed by pankaj, Till then i didn't know about his other movie which was "Urf Professor", I saw it when one of my friend recommended and i was absolutely amazed from what i saw. The director made this movie in 2001 and obviously it didn't make to theaters but it is out to download in this year.

What i like about this movie is boldness and the brave dialog from the actors. You could imagine the gravity of comedy or i would say situational comedy that this could possibly amongst the top 3 best comedies made in bollywood in last 3 to 4 decades, It's almost at par with "Jaane bhi do yaaron", Some of the scenes don't make you smile but it make you laugh your arse over. The movie actually takes off with a pre-suhaag raat scene where the groom(Bakul Thakker) decides and explain with the bride(Benica) that they should open up and reveal their past secrets. It's looks like "Alright I've seen this scenes" but the moment bride opens her mouth and tells the story of her pre-marital affairs the scene goes berserk.

I mean when was the last time you end up listening to a woman on hindi cinema daring to say that "I had an affair with a boy who had twelve inch C*ck" and "And there was twins called ajay/vijay who sandwiched me while their mother watch and enjoy" , Try to imagine the dialogs in hindi, and no-sir I'm not talking about the porn. The act changes so frequently that you wouldn't even remember the charm of previous one because the new portion/act has something extra to deliver.

There was a scene where the husband in first act hires a professor(Pahwa) to kill his wife, and he works with his accomplice called Hudda(Yashpal sharma) who was the best character in the whole movie, So in that particular scene the professor enters the hotel to kill the wife who was suppose to be in swimming pool but professor forgot his glass and can't see the photograph, so he become confused, because there were lot's of women there, so he called hudda for help and hudda then calls the husband for the description, and boss that 10 min scene was so brilliantly written and executed by those three actors that you won't resist to see that again.

There was no story structure, no prototyped formula but you still make the bond with the movie, Though it didn't hit the theaters but it's already gaining applauds in underground cult. All i can say is "Urf professor" is movie which bollywood missed for 9 odd years.

RIP "Pankaj Advani"
