She turns out to be one of his finest students. You don’t need talent to shine, you have an inner light – but don’t ever show your face to the camera, Asim advises Reshma. Spotted by stunt director Asim (Chandan Roy Sanyal), the impoverished Reshma starts working as a stunt double despite opposition from her orthodox father (Aditya Lakhia). The dialogue is packed with the kind of aphorisms that were popular in the 1970s, when Reshma traded street-side acrobatics for a career as a stunt artist. The result is an undeniably uplifting biopic that pays tribute to Reshma’s daring and can-do spirit, but also softens the rough edges and underplays the exploitative conditions under which she often worked. Both the screenplay by Faizal Akhtar and Shrabani Deodhar and Sarpotdar’s treatment make little distinction between Reshma’s work and her life away off screen. Life turns out to be a bit like the movies with happy endings that nurture Reshma in The Sholay Girl, which is being streamed on Zee5. Reshma is badly injured, and as she is taken to hospital, we move into a flashback of how she got there. We see Malini’s body double, Reshma Pathan, writhing in pain.
