rdf:langString "This thought played in my mind for very long, basically who are we? Sometimes people have to pretend what they have to be, than what they actually are. In front of people, we all have to behave in a certain way, we are in some character. We can't be who we are. I had this thought even as a kid. I think it's coming from there."

rdf:langString —Imtiaz Ali on how he got the film's idea.

rdf:langString Tamasha (transl. Spectacle/Drama) is a 2015 Indian romantic drama film written and directed by Imtiaz Ali and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala from his studio, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. The film score and soundtrack album were composed by A. R. Rahman, while lyrics for the songs were written by Irshad Kamil. Filmed briefly in Corsica, Indian cities–Shimla, Delhi, Gurgaon, Kolkata; followed by two-day schedule in Tokyo, the film tells the story of character Ved Vardhan Sahni (played by Kapoor) in three stages–as a 9-year-old child, a 19-year-old adolescent and a 30-year-old adult in a drama-based non-linear screenplay. The film was promoted with the tagline "Why always the same story?". Tamasha was released on 27 November 2015 to polarized reviews from film critics, who praised the performances of Kapoor and Padukone, regarding as one of their finest performances, but criticized the complexity of the plot. The film grossed ₹68.5 crore worldwide and was commercial failure. At the 61st Filmfare Awards, Tamasha received 4 nominations, including Best Actor (Kapoor) and Best Music Director (Rahman), winning Best Lyricist (Kamil for "Agar Tum Saath Ho"). At the 2016 Stardust Awards, the film won Best Actress (Padukone).
