Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday showered words of praise on Anvitaa Dutt's Qala. Released on Netflix last week, Qala stars Tripti Dimri as a talented but troubled singer in the 1930s and 40s. The film marks the acting debut of Irrfan Khan's son Babil Khan.
In a series of stories on Instagram, Kangana wrote, "Qala is a great film, it's not your usual three-act structure neither is it a literal story of the physical world, it's a metaphorical representation of creative consciousness…watch it with an open mind sit back to let it flow, magic will unfold."
She praised Anvitaa's directorial prowess and recalled working with her on Queen (2015).
"Director of Qala, Anvitaa is one of the greatest creative forces right now. I had the privilege of working with her in my film Queen (Anvitaa wrote Queen) After a smashing directorial debut, Bulbul, in her second film as a director, she penetrates into the dreadful depths of the human psyche. And does the unthinkable dances with the demons of desire, hate jealousy, and insecurities," Kangana wrote.
Finally, she commended Babil for his 'terrific' performance and Tripti for essaying a Himachali pahadi girl as herself.
"Special mention for all performances....Babil as a debutant is terrific...Tripti Dimri as a fellow Himachali pahadi girl makes me so proud. I just can't take my eyes off her," Kangana wrote.
Qala also features Swastika Mukherjee, Amit Sial, Varun Grover and Samir Kochhar.
