Director Homi Adajania is a restless soul. In his prettily decorated room in producer Dinesh Vijan’s new office in Santa Cruz, Mumbai, he is constantly on the move, talking to Sachin of the music composer duo Sachin-Jigar about the lyrics of a song in his upcoming movie, Angrezi Medium. Even when he sits down for the interview, his energy does not ebb. In a few minutes, he is up again, pacing and answering questions at the same time.
Adajania’s latest release is quite a departure from his previous films. Angrezi Medium, starring Irrfan, Radhika Madan and Deepak Dobriyal, is set in Udaipur and is about an aspirational young girl convincing her father, a sweet shop owner, to send her to a London university. It is quite unlike his first film—Being Cyrus (2005)—a critically acclaimed story of a dysfunctional Parsi family. Or, his second—Cocktail (2012)—an urban romance that was contemporary and different in its approach even if it was panned for being regressive and too commercial. And, his last, Finding Fanny (2014), originally in English and dubbed in Hindi, was set in Goa and had five oddball characters. It had its takers, but some found it too intellectual.
