Piyush Mishra Interview: In the realm of ironic jest, there exists a rather grim quip: “A good communist is a dead communist”. Well, to be honest, communists are as useful to mankind as USA has been to world peace. However, their stranglehold on the fine arts, especially the cinema is something that cannot be ignored. But today, from America to India, the communist intelligentsia has become a laughing stock, thanks to their desperation for maintain the hold on the intellectual space, and who could possibly comprehend this predicament better than the esteemed individual, Piyush Mishra?
“Communism scarred my life”
The reviled doctrine of communism has resurfaced yet again, thrusting itself into the limelight through “The Kerala Story,” shamelessly showcasing how this ideology has rendered the unsuspecting populace of Kerala vulnerable, akin to defenceless prey awaiting the predatory clutches of organizations such as ISIS.
In a moment of remarkable candour, Piyush Mishra, formerly a resolute adherent of communism, has unreservedly borne his soul, divulging the deleterious influence this very ideology exerted over his existence, unapologetically pilfering precious years from the tapestry of his life.
In a much publicized interview to The Lallantop, Piyush Mishra mentioned,
“This communism has turned my life upside down…There was a time when Communists had a hold over me for 20 years. And this happened in Delhi.”

Unfamiliar to some, Piyush Mishra has garnered well-deserved accolades as a lauded wordsmith, seamlessly blending the roles of a distinguished screenwriter, a mellifluous singer, and a poetic lyricist. His creative genius has graced notable endeavors such as “The Legend of Bhagat Singh,” “Gulaal,” and the enthralling saga of “Gangs of Wasseypur,” to mention but a few illustrious works. His compositions, such as the anthems “Aarambh hai Prachand”, “Wo Purane Din” and “Ik Bagal mein Chand Hoga,” continue to resonate profoundly, captivating the masses with their sheer allure.
Once an avowed adherent of Marxist ideals, Piyush Mishra has now undergone a complete transformation, harbouring an abhorrence towards the very notion that once captivated his imagination. He vehemently censures his former comrades, castigating them for venturing too far astray when grappling with critical matters of national significance.
Piyush Mishra Interview: “Are parents not a part of society?”
However, this was only the beginning, as during interview Piyush Mishra went on, “They (Communists) teach you that ‘family’ is a bad concept and turn you against your father and mother. They tell you to work for the society. Are parents not part of this society?”
Piyush Mishra further emphasised, “According to them, the society is different and the State is different. Revolution (kranti) will come from somewhere and you have to wait and watch in anticipation. In this way, they made me work for them for 20 years…”
“According to the Communists’, earning money is a sin. They told me that one who runs after money is a ‘capitalist.’ I believed them and vowed to not earn money. Abandoned my father, mother, and wife. I turned out to be a bad son, a bad husband but promised myself not to turn into a bad father”.
The ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ actor pointed out, “It was only then that the realisation dawned on me that I made a huge mistake. They took everything from me and I did not have any sense of responsibility towards my family…”
When interviewer Saurabh Dwivedi interjected, “Do you realise that NK will be angry at you?” Without mincing any words, Piyush Mishra said, “Let him be mad at me. Now you will get into trouble for taking ‘names.’”
He stated, “In those days, we were obsessed with the imagery of Stalin. In Communism, there is one central figure and everyone has to abide by his instructions. Stalinism and Communism had destroyed my life. I kept working for them until I reached a breaking point. I was mentally and physically exhausted and emotionally drained by that time.”

Amidst the clamour created by the left-wing coalition, few are aware that Piyush Mishra consistently emerges as a vocal critic, denouncing their relentless vitriol directed towards India. In recent memory, during an episode when the jury head of IFFI dismissed “Kashmir Files” as mere propaganda, and prominent figures of B-town like of Anurag Kashyap yielded to such sentiments, Piyush boldly scoffed at their myopic stance. He astutely remarked that those who derided the film were merely ignorant of the harsh realities enveloping Kashmir.
Not all heroes don capes, and unquestionably, Piyush Mishra stands tall as one of the unsung champions of truth.
