A grounded, feel-good story about ethics, ambition, and success without shortcuts — Rocket Singh flopped on release. Viewers weren’t ready for a subtle, slice-of-life business drama without glamorized action or romance. Today, it is hailed as one of the best “corporate” films made in Bollywood.
It’s been nine years, and people are still grappling with and decoding what Tamasha was as a film. Being the most relatable to millennials, the film explores people’s consciences. Imtiaz Ali penned and directed the 2015 romantic drama/psychological coming-of-age film, which Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment produced. Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are the main actors in the film. A. R. Rahman composed the score and album of music for the film, and Irshad Kamil wrote the lyrics.
Although Tamasha (2015) received mixed reviews at the time of its release and was dismissed by many, it has gradually built a cult following, with numerous scenes from the movie frequently doing the rounds on social media as reels these days. The film also marked a significant point in the careers of those involved, particularly director Imtiaz Ali and actors Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Piyush Mishra, with all of them gaining considerable recognition for their works.
