365 Days is not an anti-marriage film, says RGV

When Ram Gopal Varma's assistant pointed out that his latest romantic drama, 365 Days, got a U certificate from the Censor Board, the filmmaker didn���t quite know what to make of it. But when reminded that this is first time that a film directed by him has not got an A certification, the filmmaker couldn���t help but wonder if he���s turned a corner. ���I don���t know if I was surprised or shocked because I never really thought much about the certification process.I guess it is proof that I have truly changed as a filmmaker. There���s absolutely no gore or violence in the film,��� says RGV, who reckons the film will touch a chord with every moviegoer.
Nandoo plays a software professional who falls in love with Anaika Soti, a college pass out. The two get married and how they struggle to cope with the travails of life after wedding forms the crux of the film. The film starts with a heated exchange between the couple who���ve been married for a year by then. From then on the film travels back and forth in time from then on juxtaposing life before and after marriage. RGV is quick to clarify, ���The film is not anti-marriage like some people believe. I���ve only tried to explain how life changes post-wedding. It���s just not the same��� you know. People change and that leads to a lot of friction between married couples.���
However, all the hype that 365 Days is a simple love story about a newly-married couple, isn���t entirely true. The film will play out like ���a suspenseful thriller,��� informs RGV. ���Although 365 Days is a regular love story, the editing and background score have been designed in such a way that the audience will feel a heightened sense of intensity as the plot unravels. This was done to highlight the tension between the two principal characters and to create a sense of impending doom,��� adds RGV.
The film���s success might all boil down to how much magic the lead pair manages to create on-screen. ���I believe that both Nandoo and Anaika lived the roles. I firmly believe that when it comes to filmmaking, directors are all about intelligence, whereas actors are the magic element. Finally, it���s the magic which makes cinema work,��� he reveals
