Tech which makes Sense

Nasha gives teachers a bad name. Consider this. Anita is a newly appointed head of extracurricular activities at a seemingly urban high school (with probably the dirtiest students, whose behavior is supposed to be justified here just because they’re ‘of legal age’). She plans to put on a romantic play during the academic year and wants her students to rehearse at her house (why? And she gets enthusiastic approval from the principal, who seems to be totally lost). Surprisingly, only the protagonist Saahil and his group of slacker friends appear each time, as if there were only ten students in the entire school. The boys are only there to look at her with her eyes, and our ‘innocent’ Anita never notices her constant stare, as if she has partial vision or what?

Our drama teacher is so liberal that she joins them as they sing a song together about getting boners. In the country, that is, during rehearsals in her luxurious house, she wants them to get into character (the drama teacher Stanislavski would be rolling and crying in his grave) and shows Saahil’s girlfriend how a lady should flirt. . The character Anita most likely chose to play was a dominatrix, as that alone can explain the way she corners Saahil and gets on top of him while her friends gape (who wouldn’t?). Saahil is in love with her and masturbates every night in her bed fantasizing about her. That is until Anita’s boyfriend Samuel shows up, and the movie takes a different, if equally predictable, turn. What is worrying, very worrying here is Anita’s conduct as a teacher. She openly kisses and probably even French kisses Samuel in front of the kids during rehearsals. In one scene, he picks her up in her arms and carries her home in front of the students (since when is that considered professional?). When Saahil fails during a trial, Samuel tells him “Tere se nahi hoga, shawl (You can’t do it. Move!” and then romantically dances to his partner; I probably would have left in that instant and never returned.

Now believe this. The two boys arm wrestle and then compete against each other to prove who is the better man. Samuel pushes Saahil to the ground during the run and the boy begins to bleed. As Anita tends to Saahil’s wounds, Samuel inappropriately whispers to her that he has finally gotten Anita’s attention. Samuel proceeds to rub whiskey on Saahil’s wounds, which further irritates Anita. To reconcile, he pulls Anita to the side (about two steps from Saahil) and whispers to her about her. They immediately make up and start kissing. Saahil gets up and leaves in a hurry. Once they’re done kissing, Anita notices Saahil’s absence and says ‘Arre, yes kaha gaya?‘ (Oh, where did it go?). Next time, why don’t you get a room instead of making out in front of your student, the one you totally like too?

After a while, the play is completely forgotten. The big problem with this movie is that Anita is not shown as a bad example of a teacher, although she is setting a very poor one. Those who had seen Cameron Diaz on the average sitcom Bad Teacher would remember how his character took pleasure in acting nasty towards his students and colleagues. There is nothing to suggest that Anita’s behavior violates a teacher’s code of conduct; even the background score played for her is sweet and positive. What’s also surprising is that the director had no reservations or objections to her wardrobe, which mostly included revealing tops and miniskirts (I’m not being prudish, here. Any middle-aged Indian director would have been outright against it). .

If teachers are given a bad name, wait to hear how male relatives are portrayed in Nasha. Saahil lives with his dad and her uncle; we also learn that mom is dead and the two men make jams for a living. Now try to listen to this without exclaiming “Wha!!”. While Saahil is masturbating one night, his uncle (or his dad. He’s interchangeable, actually) walks into the room and says something like “aur kitna karega?” (How much longer will you continue?) Saahil feels embarrassed and stops, of course. Now why the hell would a person walk into the room knowing that their son is masturbating inside? Even if they do so without knowing it, wouldn’t he? Does he stop at realization and rush out? Why would he embarrass his nephew by telling him he was caught in the act? In another scene, Saahil’s father tells him “Porn dekhne ke bajaaye achi movie dekh“(Why don’t you watch good movies instead of porn?” (Saahil is masturbating to porn at the time.)

Nasha is also riddled with three of the most ridiculous songs in living memory. What’s worse is that we don’t get enough of what we came for, namely nudity and sex (anyone who says “No. I came for directing and acting” is a big liar). Known especially to cricket lovers as the ‘girl who posed nude in a magazine after Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL’, Poonam Pandey is surely joining the ‘Mahesh Bhatt Muses’ brigade alongside Sunny Leone soon. Pandey has long and sexy legs, a spectacular bust, a beautiful back and a delicious butt, plus she is certainly more expressive than Leone. She has a manly looking wide lower jaw, but nonetheless she looks very flattering, especially in the right lighting. But Nasha doesn’t let her go until the end because of Censor’s watchdogs. Every time attention is diverted from her body to her performance (not bad considering the ridiculous role she’s been cast in), the result is a disappointing scene. The filmmakers don’t know what to focus on in Nasha, the sex or the story. And sadly, they both get a bad rap.
