The news is that the screenplay of ‘Khatta Meetha’ will be part of the core collection at The Library of the Academy of Motion Picture of Arts and Science.
Khatta meetha is a 2010 bollywood movie,starring akshay kumar n south actress-trisha krishnan.It is directed by priyadarshan.The film has been written by well known Malayalam script writer Sreenivasan.
Akshay Kumar (hero cum producer of Khatta Meetha) received a request from the Oscar Library to acquire a copy of the screenplay of the film.
Priyadarshann also has received an official e-mail from The Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in LA, asking him for a copy of the screenplay of KM for the permanent Core Collection. They have said the “script will be used for research purposes only; students, filmmakers, writers and actors are among our regular patrons.
Priyan said, “It’s a great honour that the script of KM will be used for research by students of cinema. I feel that it is also a recognition of the hard work involved in writing the script.
Akshay Kumar plays the role of a struggling road contractor who struggles his way to bribe the officials for getting a road contract. To make matters worse, the new municipal commissioner turns out to be his ex girl friend who hates him like hell. What all does the contractor undergoes to become successful forms the rest of the story.
It was the storyline of Khatta Meetha highlighting the corruption and bribery inherent in the municipal constructions in India, told through Sachin Tichkule's (played by Akshay Kumar) life, that really grabbed the attention of the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and especially the political satire surrounding the common man caught up in the uncommon situation.
This is really a huge honor for Akshay and director Priyadarshan, who were contacted by the chief Librarian of one such prestigious Library, asking for the copy of the script.
