Sorry I Couldn’t Save Motichoor Chaknachoor: Director Disowns Film

Debamitra Biswal and the producers of the movie had been in loggerheads for a long time.

Motichoor Chaknachoor, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Athiya Shetty, failed to impress either the critics or the audience. Now, the director Debamitra Biswal has dismissed her own film, saying that it fell victim to “silly ego fights.” She also asked viewers to watch the film at their own risk as this wasn’t the project she had made.

Debamitra and the producers of the movie had been in loggerheads since a long time now. After the release of Motichoor Chaknachoor, she took to Facebook to write a long note about the fiasco.

In the post, she wrote how the ‘tough journey’ did not turn out to be a ‘successful one’ for her. She also mentioned various people who stood by her side through the whole incident, and worked on the project wholeheartedly. Towards the end of it, she requested people to watch it on their own risk since it is not what she had originally created. Debamitra took a jibe at the title and wrote, “Lastly very important notice to all near and dear ones: Its okay if you still watch the film but go at your own risk. I will not be responsible for your bheja fry. An experience definitely as sweet as Motichoor but the outcome is a total Chaknachoor.”

Take a long at the post:

Now that the film is finally releasing , i would like to tell everyone that this has been the most toughest journey in my life ever. But unfortunately not the best one at the end. We all from the actors to the technicians to everyone involved in the film made this film with immense love and hardwork. But i guess not all journey are made successful.

Everyone who has worked in a film knows very well how important an edit is for a film. Sticking shots together does not make a film. I wish important decision makers of the film could have understood this. But i will always be grateful to the beautiful souls who helped me complete this film but sadly no one can watch the magic that we created.

Thank you Chandan Arora for showing me how a great film is made on the edit table. Thank you for editing it beyond beautiful. Sadly the world is not seeing our work.

Thank you Megh for writing the hilarious dialogues and the amazing screenplay with me but sadly the world is not going to see our version of fun.

Thank you Nawaz ji, Athiya, Vibha Chibber, Navni Parihar, Sanjeeva Vats, Abhishek Rawat, Sapna Sand, Karuna Pandey, Vivek Mishra ji, Usha Nagar ji, Rachna Pakai, n little Devansh,for putting the bestest in this film. Sadly no one will get to watch that best.

I will only cherish the sounds of people who laughed n enjoyed at the personal screening of my version even without any background music or proper dubbing.Sadly that version is not coming out. Only due to some silly ego fights which has no meaning at all.

Thank you my entire team. Thank you Tariq Bhai, Suhas Gujrati, Sanjay Bansal, Zeeshan, imran...thank you not only for helping me out in the film but thank you for standing by me through out .

Sorry i could not save the film. We know what great potential it had. But i guess sometimes things get ruined even after lot of honesty put in.

I still wish i could show the world what i had made.

Thank you Sohaib for taking all this pain since last three years and still standing by me like a rock. Your support is beyond measure. I might have fallen short on luck with this film but definitely beyond grateful to god to bless me you as my husband. Sorry i could not make you proud this time.

Lastly very important notice to all near and dear ones:

It’s OK if you still want to watch the film but go at your own risk. I will not be responsible for your bheja fry. An experience definitely as sweet as Motichoor, but an outcome is total Chaknachoor.

Debamitra’s Facebook account has been apparently deactivated now.

Previously, the makers had accused Debamitra of selling off the movie rights to a film distributor for Rs 32 lakh in Bihar without any authority. Debamitra had filed a case and also demanded a ban on the release of the official trailer, for payment dues due to ego fights on the edit table. She also requested that her name be removed from the credits.
