Madhur Bhandarkar says ‘Calendar Girls’ is not just about skin show but much more


Madhur Bhandarkar is well known for selecting bold subjects for his women-centric movies and his latest ‘Calendar Girls’ is no exception – probably that is why he has hastened to assure his viewers that the movie of not just skin show but there a lot more.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 24 September 2015.
The film is about five calendar girls and their journey through the world of calendars. There are the good and bad parts and it is not about expose and bikini but about performance.
As he explains, he got the idea of making a film on calendar models when he came across Vijay Mallya’s annual calendar. He went deep into their lives and realized that almost 99 per cent (of calendar girls career) are failure and only one per cent can succeed.
He, then, interacted with several calendar girls and, while some were forthcoming to talk about it, others were reluctant.
About the story of his film - it is story of five girls from different cities and how their life shapes up after they pursue career as calendar girls.
The stars are Ruhi Singh (Winner, Miss Universal Peace and Humanity, 2014), model-actress Avani Modi, Akanksha Puri (Airhostess-model-actress), Kyra Dutt (Kingfisher calendar girl) and Satarupa Pyne (model-actress).
