Chillar Party: Kids' Day out

Bhide who is on a mission to build a ‘bhay-mukta Mumbai’ (fearless Mumbai) by chasing all stray dogs out of the boundaries of the city. On his target happens to be Bhidu, the favourite pet of the Chillar Party, and a harmless stray animal. So there is a Bhide versus Bhidu in the film and who emerges victorious is anyone’s guess.

The problem of the film lies in its first half; the debutant directors have pretty much spent half the film trying to establish the story. There are gangs of colony kids, there are galli cricket matches, hostility giving way to friendship, smart pranks and fooling around; all that regular stuff that belongs to children’s films. But one has no clue where is all that leading until the interval. The real plot begins only post interval by when one has already begun losing interest in the film. However, the second half moves fast and has enough twists and turns with adrenaline rush to bring one back into the film and capture one’s attention till the end. How the kids succeed in bringing about a change of heart in the adults and eventually getting bhidu, the dog an NOC (no objection certificate) to stay in their society becomes an engaging ride.

One could say that the film makes one look at the world through the eyes of the children, if only the kids in the film acted like kids. And this is not a comment on their acting, but the heroic quality that each one of them looked burdened with. A film like this one loses its sheen and simplicity the moment innocence is ripped off the kids and they are made to act like super-heroes who have the power to take on the world. These are overripe kids who mouth heavy-duty dialogues, come up with a solution for every problem that faces them, and create a revolution almost by making the entire city sit up and take notice of them. One can then only say how cute the kids were, but not feel for or sympathize with any of their characters. That is when the film ends up resembling those story books laden with heroes and heroic deeds one read as a kid; and can be at best labeled as a children’s film which fails to have an appeal that cuts across audiences belonging to different age groups.

Much as one wants to avoid any comparison, Stanley Ka Dabba is actually a children’s film, with quite a few lessons in moral science strewn here and there.

Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club in Seabeck to host 'Silencer Shoot ...

Randy Bragge has been making gun silencers as a hobby for nearly a decade. But, he hasn't been able to use them because although Washington state law allows people to own the devices, sometimes called "suppressors," they are currently illegal to use.

But next month the devices will be legal.

"Whenever I travel to a different state for vacation or work, I'd pack up a case and use them there. That was the only opportunity I had to use them," Bragge said of his suppressors that he uses in other states where it is legal including Oregon and Montana.

Some prefer the term "suppressor," as "silencer" implies the device eliminates the sound of the the firearm discharging altogether.

In April, Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a new law allowing the use of firearm suppressors. The new law takes effect July 22, and on July 23, the Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club will host "Silencer Shoot" at its Seabeck range. Members will be able to use their suppressed firearms for the first time at the club and the public is also invited to attend free-of-charge and will be able to use suppressors under the supervision of club members.

"It was like having a muffler for a lawn mower but you couldn't put it on when you started the lawn mower," said Marcus Carter, executive officer of the club.

Bragge, 48, of Belfair, is happy with the new law because he had spent the past three years trying to change it. His efforts included writing emails to state lawmakers, meeting politicians and making an educational video on suppressors and sending it to legislators in Olympia.

"It's really nice that we're able to use a gun we can legally own," Bragge said. "It allows people to use them and not disturb their neighbors as much."

Safety is a priority at the range and Carter said people will still be required to wear hearing protection while shooting with suppressors.

In September, Kitsap County Prosecutor Russell Hauge filed a lawsuit against the gun club for alleged nuisances after neighbors of the range lodged noise and safety complaints. After two rounds of mediation between the two parties, a settlement has not been reached and the trial remains scheduled for August 9.

"We're hopeful that some settlement can be reached," Carter said last week. "But, we are preparing as though we're going to trial."

But, before the two-week trial in August, the club will focus on the upcoming "Silencer Shoot."

For Bragge, making his own suppressors has been a "fun project" where he uses either aluminum or steel to create the baffle and uses tubing for the body. It's a simple process that is similar to making a straight-pass car muffler, he said.
