Actor Sharman Joshi marked the 25th anniversary of his film “Style” on social media, emphasizing that the movie aimed to provide a light-hearted experience for viewers. In a post on Instagram, he reminisced about the carefree and entertaining nature of the film, stating that it was designed to offer a good time without being taken seriously.
Reflecting on his character ‘Bantu’ in the film, Joshi described him as a lazy college student aspiring for success through shortcuts. He highlighted the dynamic between his character and Sahil Khan, portraying them as overconfident individuals seeking quick wins in life, rather than traditional heroes or underdogs. The banter between the characters, along with the performances of co-stars Riya Sen and Shillpi Sharma, added vibrancy to the movie.
Director N. Chandra’s primary goal while creating “Style” was to entertain the audience, as mentioned by Joshi in his tribute. The film blended elements of slapstick humor, pranks, and a touch of mystery, focusing on delivering a light-hearted and enjoyable cinematic experience. Joshi also recalled how certain scenes, like the iconic ‘handshake-turned-foot shake,’ became popular and contributed to the movie’s lasting impact.
Even after 25 years, “Style” remains a cherished memory for movie enthusiasts due to its genuine portrayal of youth and commitment to being a fun and authentic representation of that era. Joshi concluded by emphasizing the film’s enduring appeal, rooted in its sincerity and unpretentious approach to storytelling.
