DK Bose uses slang to make money: Gandu’s director

Q, the director of “Gandu”, is in Romania for the screening of “Gandu”. “It’s been crazy out here. I have reached Romania after a 14-hour drive. We will be screening “Gandu” here in Romania on Saturday.
On June 17, we have a screening in Poland. Neel Adhikari and I are performing at “Gandu Circus” too. “Gandu Circus” is the musical extension of the soundtrack of the film.It is a collective form like the Asian Dub Foundation, based on dub step. I am the rapper while Neel plays the guitar and mans the laptop. Our show has an installation video project attached to it,” said Q from Romania.
Considering that his film (which uses a slang word as its title) is making it to international festivals, what is his take on the recent controversy over “Bhaag DK Bose”? “Overdose is a development company. We work on progressive art. It’s a completely different process from the Bollywood/Tollywood angle. It’s about socio-political art.
I don’t direct films to make money. I try to get money to make films. So, the process is just the opposite,” said Q, adding, “I’ve heard the song. I think, “Gandu” has given people the assurance to use slangs this way. The use of the word ‘Gandu’ is not to trivialize the idea of language. It is a political process to understand the subculture. But there is a difference between my use of slang and that in Bollywood movies. I never used slang just to make money. Bollywood will commercialize everything. That’s their scene. DK Bose uses slang to make money.”
