'I am working on an animated porno film which is a comedy'
Bombay, 1 June, 2001: Director Joy Augustine appeared on the Chat immediately after a private screening of his latest film Paagalpan and was anxious to talk about it. He stayed on for well over an hour, having a great time describing his film and emphasising that the first half of the movie is completely different from the second.

release!!! Mr Joy Augustine : 8th June is the D-Day so all
of you al please wish me all the best I'm nervous
afsar : glad to have you, joy augustine!!! why did u
choose karan nath? Mr Joy Augustine : The innocence he wears
on his face and the honesty that comes across in the film, especially when he
says 'I love you Roma' you know he's not faking it. He fits the role perfect to
the tee
himanigupta : hi Joy we people in US are quite excited
about the movie Mr Joy Augustine : I'm sure you would be
because my heroine Aarti is from New Jersey and she has done a brilliant job and
you'd be proud of her.
himanigupta : I saw the trailer in zee Tv and it seems
like you are hitting the right chords Mr Joy
Augustine : Thank you very much, I have made the film just for
you, I hope you enjoy it, if not please call me back and scold me and tell me
where I did go wrong
foogie : hi there joy all the best...god bless and take
care of your health Mr Joy Augustine : Hi Foogie here I am
as I promised and I want you to know it wouldnt have been possible for me to
make Paagalpan without you and the family
Mr Joy Augustine : Sorry I'm late, I was showing my friend
Suparn the film you know:-)
grahul : is Suparn related to films i like your TERE MERE
SAPNE very much have you assisted anybody? Mr Joy
Augustine : I have assisted nobody I'm a street filmmaker (I
learnt my filmmaking from the streets) Life teaches me to make films

Augustine : You will be surprised I am working on an animated porno
film which is a comedy
foogie : Kochettan has asked which is the most touchy seen

The scond half i a very heart wrenching film (Paagalpan)
karthik : hi joy paagalpan looks absolutely great
movie Mr Joy Augustine : Hi Karthik, I'm sure you will love
the film I just wanna prepare all of you all, that the first half is fun and the
second half is quiet intense. So much so that I have got an A certificate at the
censor boad.
prat : why do choose new faces for yur film Mr Joy
Augustine : Love stories work best with new faces. I love working
with raw performances and while shooting with these brilliant newcomers I end up
learning so much from them, its fun working with them.
ANANDVP : HI JOY,,,, how different is pagaalpaan w.r.t
tere mere sapnay Mr Joy Augustine : Tere Mere Sapne was a
film about two young people who wanted to live the others life, it was a fun
film. Paagalpan as the title suggests begins off a fun film and then grows to be
an intense love story with extreme emotions.
ANANDVP : joy, pl comment on the music of the film
pagalpaan Mr Joy Augustine : Raju Singh the music director
has done a brilliant job with the songs and the background music. He is a
student of R D Burman nothing more I need to say. The student of the God himself
anjali : sir the movie was great Mr Joy
Augustine : Where did u see the film?
ANANDVP : tell me three good reasons why all teens must
watch ur latest movie pagalpaan Mr Joy Augustine : Its a
brilliant screenplay, lovely emotions and wonderful performances. I all a film
where every department has worked at a very emotional level. Its a VIOLENT love
story
ANANDVP : hindi movies donot need story ... yet i expect
one good story in pagalpaan Mr Joy Augustine : You can count
on that. You can definitely count on that
shshank : did u accept u have to compete with
lagan? Mr Joy Augustine : One script directed by two
directors will give you two diff films. So two diff scripts are I'm sure not
competing with one another at all. I'm sure I'l do well and so will Lagaan.
leothefriend : WHERE WERE U ALL THESE DAYS AFTER
"TMS" Mr Joy Augustine : I met a lot of crooks after Tere
Mere Sapne who took me badly but I guess It was a good learning experience and I
hope I wont let you all down in Paagalpan and make up for the lost time.
ANANDVP : VIOLENT .... but thepromos donot show any
violence Mr Joy Augustine : You must see the trailer
vijayk : ok Mr Joy atleast tell me as what inspired u
making this film Mr Joy Augustine : Romance itself, and
helplesness when you are madly in love.
tejal : I am impressed with all technics in TMS is it
going to retained or something new experimented Mr Joy
Augustine : I'm glad you are impresed with the technique in Tere
Mere Sapne but as always I maintain I am 'a very average technician'. I have
definitely experimented on Paagalpan because every pahse of my filmmaking is an
experiment, since Idont come from a Film school
arcfilms : Hi Joy, How do you feel on your new project
about to be launched. This is Rikin Choksi. I wish you all the best Joy Mr
Joy Augustine : Rikin I still have to go through that software
package of yours which I will do after the 8th. Please bear with me till then
and thanks. I feel cfonfident but nervous
ANANDVP : ok... i request th e team of pagalpaan to
promote the music of pagalpaan in a more better way so that it can be a hit ...
the music deserves an award .... yes ...... Mr Joy
Augustine : You are perfectly right, I actually want to give you
the number of Tips Music Industry Ltd and the mobile number of Arti Poddar so
that you could beg her on behalf of me and Paagalpan.
polanski : Dear Joy, how about making an Indian English
film or a Hindi/English bilingual? Would you do it? I would also like to have
your e-mail ID if you don't mind... Mr Joy Augustine : I'd
love to but let me first win the hearts of my local audience who have given me
the second oppurtunity.
nagendra : joy ur name suggest that u r comic person .. m
i right joy cheers!!!!!!!!! Mr Joy Augustine : I used to get
thrown out of class very often, you're perfectly right I was a clown
Suku : Hi Joy....I think all ur films right from
Goonj'sSama Hai Suhana to Paagalpan's Kahin na kahin isamazing...Which band or
singer are u particularly fond of? Mr Joy Augustine : I love
al kinds of music , this is a question I'm asking myslelf all the time because I
pick up music that I didnyt intend to listen to and suddenly realise that I've
been listening to it for more than one month,
AliceinRediffland : SUPARN MAKE SURE JOY ANSWERS MY
QUESTION:HI JOY DO U THINK THE RELEASE OF LAGAAN AND GADAR THE VERY NEXT WEEK

Augustine : Its all the requirement of the script, I'm a slave to
the script, I worship it.
ANANDVP : why did u ppl approach tips films .. thwey only
promote music of big mega budget movies .... they suck good movies like
pagalpaan ... .. then too i hope the movie will be a super hit by mouth to mouth
publicity ..... Mr Joy Augustine : Tips is a brilliant music
company they have been VERY good to me. I guess today I am a nobody so for the
poistion I am in they have done more than they should. And they have too much on
theirt hands I dont want to be judgemental but on Monday morning after the
release the film will prove to them that the film is bigger than the music
company.

phase of my life and I remember I had painted every single wall a diff colour so
that I didn't commit suicide
AliceinRedifflandd : PERSONALLY, LAGAAN , THEN
PAAGALPAN...NO INTEREST IN GADAR...LAGAAN MAINLY BECOZ I THINK AAMIR IS A SUPERB
ACTOR AND A PERSONAL FAVOURITE Mr Joy Augustine : I'm sure
Aamir wont let you down with his film and Ashutosh is a briliant technician and
a good friend of mine, you must watch Lagaan and you must watch Paagalpan twice.

requirement.

script Mr Joy Augustine : I'm comitted to do a film for
Mukta Arts Ltd. I would do anything to work with Mr Bachchan, he's been my
inspiration eversince I was a little kid.
AliceinRedifflandd : I JUST WISH THE FILM GOT MORE
PUBLICITY BUT THEN SUPER HITS LIKE HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN NEVER BOASTED OF ANY AND
STILL WENT ON TO BECOME THE BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER Mr Joy
Augustine : The best publicity would be word pf mouth publicity I
gaurantee you, yopu will watch the film a second time although we are getting
our act together on the publicity.
hollywoodBuff : were you part of the team of the project
"Indiana Jones" ? so how many hollywood films did you feature in? Mr Joy

Mr Joy Augustine : Please watch Paagalpan and tell your
friends about Paagalpan so that publicity begins here if you do so you help me
to make another film. I must thank you all for watching Tere Mere Sapne and I'm
sure you'll love Paagalpan more. Although be prepared to watch an intense love
story which is quiet agressive and new gen. Gone are the days were you slit a
writs or burn a photograph or drink the ash in your coffee, its time where you
need to stand up and shout out your love and fight for it. Be a paagal, nice
chatting with u all and I'd love to come back so please pester Suparn to get me
back, I've been begging him to be here on chat. Thanks g'nite and be good
