Khoya Khoya Chand is a film about two young peopleafloat in the film industry
of the wild 1950s.. It is the tumultuous love story of an actress, Nikhat (Soha
Ali Khan), and a writer-director, Zafar (Shiney Ahuja) based in the wild and
exhilarating era of the 1950s-60s, the Golden Age of the Hindi film industry.
This film is a tribute to those wonderous times and people as well as an
accolade to their inspirational lives. A magical world, people with huge
talents, oversized egos, beautiful and ugly individuals and the tantalizing lure
of stardom. A world of glittering dreams and harsh realities… golden yet
cruel... This world comes to life with an excellent ensemble of actors who in
their varied roles create a colourful backdrop of the film industry… from
awe-inspiring superstars and feisty studio-owners to fashionable divas with
scandalous stories… this film has them all, and more. Set against the compelling
magnetism of this addictive world is the story of Nikhat, the young girl who
goes from being a fledging extra, to a starlet to a great heroine, and Zafar,
through whom we see the triumphs and travails of a writer-director of the
1950’s… The story of a volatile love that they can neither live with, nor
without… And the story of the difficult and often heartbreaking choices they
have to make... Even as the backdrop of this film is period, the film modern in
its narrative, characterization and treatment.
