  • FROZEN PREMIERE, PUNE
    Saturday, 30 May, 2009 has been the fifth happiest day of my life. For a life of 32 years full of happenings, this is more than just a mere statement. It’s a conviction of priorities. I have unashamedly admitted this to some close friends, as well as to the team of Frozen, just before they were about to leave for Mumbai, after the successful premiere of Frozen in Pune....

  • Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)
    In the classic serial killer book, Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Hannibal Lector intones that a serial killer starts his killings essentially to get that thing which he covets the most. This simple and flawless logic is seen in the movie Perfume: A Story of a Murderer where we are witness to the genesis of a serial killer. One difference here is being that since we know his...

  • Chandrasekhar Yeleti undertakes a new ‘Prayanam’
    A couple of years ago,on one fine morning, I was stranded in Bangalore’s HAL airport (or the old airport as we now describe it) for some 4-5 hours. The reason being my flight and most other flights were delayed due to fog condition and so I was caught unawares. Since the agenda was only a meeting with a retail chain towards lunch time, I was hoping to catch up on some...

    If  ever  Hollywood  had  a canonization  process,  surely  Morgan Freeman would  have  been  one  of  the  leading  candidates  for  sainthood.    It  is  very  rare,    that  you  see  him  playing  an  out and out  negative  role.  In  fact  a  majority  of   his  roles  see  him  as  a  worldly wise, decent, honorable ...

    Dhere dhere chalo sajana… As the song played on the screen, me and my brother sat there in the small town theater, completely enchanted and enthralled by the moving pictures. Our lunch boxes packed for school lay empty on the next seat. They were supposed to actually have been eaten in the school. But here we were emptying our lunch while watching some beautiful...

    How are your weekends coming along? Pretty dry eh? Longing for the smell of popcorn or maybe it’s time to smell the coffee. No cinema to watch for another month. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? One of our PFCite, Neeraj Ghaywan has started a petition against the multiplex-producer strike. He thinks the fraternities are showing absolutely no regard to what cinema fans...

    We all love to watch movies; country, language, genre, or the team involved not necessarily a hindrance. Most of these movies are famous, or well-known due to one factor or the other. As we graduate in our process, we tend to endeavour for more ‘qualitatively fulfilling’ movies, and that’s where the director or the genre plays an important part in our selection....
