Ah, Bollywood! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the Roshan family drops a docuseries on Netflix and flips the script on us! Released on January 17th, "The Roshans" is a four-episode cinematic saga unraveling the tales of three generations of this legendary Bollywood dynasty. With their contributions to Hindi cinema laid out like a red carpet, it’s a walk down memory lane you won’t want to miss! 🎬✨
Rakesh Roshan, the illustrious producer, and Shashi Ranjan, the director with a penchant for storytelling, had a chat with yours truly, Bollywood Newshound Nisha. Oh, the stories they had to share! From "Karan Arjun" to "Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai" and "Koi… Mil Gaya," Rakesh Roshan has a filmography that makes even the stars jealous. But what prompted this nostalgic journey into Roshan history? 🤔
Q: Rakesh ji, how did the idea of making a documentary on your family come about?
A: Ah, the sweet sting of obscurity! It all began 7-8 years ago with a music device boasting thousands of songs. I was casually browsing, expecting to find my father, Roshan Lal Nagrath’s tunes. Lo and behold, not a single track! Not even a whisper of his name! A father’s legacy fading into the background noise—how tragic! 😢
Over a casual chat with Shashi Ranjan at my farmhouse, it struck me. My father’s contributions are a treasure that needs to be shown to the world. But to captivate today’s audience, we decided to spin the tale of three generations of the Roshan family. 🎥👨👦👦
Q: Did your father Roshan Sahib receive the recognition he deserved?
A: Recognition? Ha! He was a genius, crafting masterpieces, but alas, his peak was cut short. Passing away at just 49, his tunes play on, yet his name remains unsung. It’s like a beautiful melody without a composer! 🎶
Q: After your father’s passing, how did you pave your way?
A: Talk about starting from scratch! When dad left, I was a naive 17-18-year-old. No empire, just a blank canvas. I embarked on a journey from being an assistant director to trying my luck at production and acting. Even played the villain! But Bollywood, oh Bollywood, once it gets under your skin, there’s no leaving! 🎭
Q: Shashi ji, what was your vision for this four-episode docuseries?
A: Legends never die! Having crafted a series on living legends for TV, the Roshan story resonated deeply with me. It felt personal, like flipping through a photo album of my own life. 📸
Q: Any challenges or delightful stories during the making of this documentary?
A: Smooth sailing all the way! The Roshan family is as down-to-earth as they come. Whether it’s Rakesh, Rajesh, or Hrithik, they’re all humble souls. Hrithik chats with you like he’s not a megastar, but just a regular guy. The comfort they provided made the journey a breeze. My team and I put our hearts into the background music, and let me tell you, it was so finely tuned that even David Dhawan called to compliment us! 🎶📞
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, where glitz often outshines grit, "The Roshans" reminds us that behind every celebrity filled legacy is a story of struggle, triumph, and a little bit of magic. And remember, folks, in the land of dreams, sometimes the real magic lies in the journey, not just the destination! 🌟
