    Kurbaan Movie Review : Kuch kuch terrorism hai?
    Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Om Puri Direction: Rensil D’Silva Rating: One and a half stars I desisted from writing an instant-noodle review of Kurbaan. I said I wouldn’t, there’s no point etc. Because it raised my hackles to the extent that I wondered whether...

    Exclusive Review: Sudhir Mishra’s Tera Kya Hoga Johnny
    Quick! What’s common in Johnny Gaddar, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, 99, Sankat City? Besides the fact that they all represent the fast growing Indo-Indie genre, they were all heist movies. Each of these movies made good box office gains together with appealing to the mojo of urban...

    Faces of MIAAC – the unfathomable, the uncomfortable and the unassuming – united in brilliance.
    Just back from New York’s Indian Film Festival. My what a mixed bag that was! The films screened at the festival will undoubtedly have much written and reviews of all stripes published in the weeks that follow. For me they are united in forging a path and not following...

    Lake Tahoe : Acceptance brings the tranquility, understanding and energy to go ahead in the life

    My Apprehensions about Paa

    Gandha and 7 Ans: Bitter-Sweet Scent of Cinema
    The sense of sight, touch and hearing have been well covered by cinema over the years. Even the sense of taste has been covered but not as much as the former senses. But very rarely would you come across a movie which uses the sense of smell as an integral part of a story. Thanks...

    15th Kolkata Film Festival 2009 – Day 5
    On Sunday, they had the worst films scheduled. It was pretty hard to decide which ones to watch as most films were similar, all equally unimpressive. Katalin Varga was playing at noon. Since it had won a couple of awards at MAMI recently, thought of giving it a try. All...

    As the River flows
    I know long ago   the river used to speak. But when he realised every drop of pain flows above horizon of words he surrendered to silence. People came to his bosom creating to destroy and named it civilization. People came to his bosom looking for the meaning in destruction and...

    Four Years For Our Debut – Brahmaputra
    The world’s made up of two types of people – talkers and doers. For the last four years I unfortunately would have had to place myself in the talkers category. People would ask about our band’s album, and I’d say, “We’re coming out with it soon.” That ‘soon’...

    A detour to the world of art
    We despise thought, even if it is the only gift God gave us. While being beautiful, it does take away our sleep. After a hard day’s work, we need to relax, put our minds to rest. So we stop thinking. We hate anything that provokes thought. Be it cinema, telly, books or...

    The Director No matter how much of awe and reverence the world of cinema bestows upon Federico Fellini, the post neo-realist movie director from Italy, in the heart of his hearts Fellini knew perfectly who he was. He was a clown. He was that grand jester in the courtroom...
