After ten years of struggle and hopelessness, “Woh Bhi Din The” finds light

Filmed almost ten years ago, Woh Bhi Din features Ashvin Matthew, Rohit Saraf, Adarsh Gourav, and Sanjana Sanghi. It goes without saying that the performers had no expectations for the film’s release until a few weeks ago, when they learned that the film would finally have a release date. ZEE5 is presently offering the film for streaming.

The actor Matthew, who is based in Bengaluru, said that they were all happy to hear the news. In this adolescent drama, he portrays Alex Matthew, the class instructor and English teacher. He is experiencing a range of emotions as he views his performance from ten years ago. Now, I would perform it with greater ease. Since I am now the character’s age, I wouldn’t need to do any “acting,” he jokes.

The actor claims there is nothing strange about Alex Matthew’s performance in English Vinglish (2012), if you find yourself thinking of his character Father Vincent. “This individual called me because of English Vinglish. Regarding the Jamshedpur movie, he said, “I performed a poem and explained some lines from it during my audition.

A well-written high school drama has the ability to transport the viewer back to those formative years. “The fact that these kids had excellent teachers like I did, which truly changed my life, is what I identified with in the movie,” Matthew adds.

The film, which is being well-received by the public, was directed by Sajid Ali, the brother of renowned filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, and produced by actor-producer John Abraham. The fact that the movie was still unable to find a distribution outlet says a lot about the workings of the film industry. “No one believed in the movie, and John Abraham didn’t obtain the money he desired, which is why the movie didn’t sell.

He merely put it on hold. He was aware that there would eventually be a market for it and that some of the kids would become famous, so it was just a question of time. Matthew remarks, “Seems to have paid off; even I’m doing the same thing today. Many distributors don’t think that people want to see a film with just females and no heroes, like the feminist thriller that I made. Finding that one individual who is willing to take a risk and believes in you is the key, however.

Matthew notes that while “there’s always an audience for any kind of movie,” the issue is never having enough viewers. “The gatekeepers, distributors, or decision-makers have always been the issue. They’ve been purchasing unsuccessful Rs 250-crore action films for the longest period. They believe the larger films would bring in more money, therefore they give Rs 40 lakh and Rs 2 crore for the smaller ones.

When things fail, people adopt a different mindset, adds Matthew, who also notes that he has seen a shift in public opinion on indie films. There are still biases in the change, however. “At last, they are moving toward content-driven movies, but they are also picking certain languages. “Oh, Kannada… not necessary, perhaps Malayalam.” He ends by saying, “The decision-makers themselves must change as well.
