Love cinema of every kind. From K Asif, to Ghai, to Spielberg to Akira Kurosawa. Crazy about all kind kind of music (except rap). Longing to see Bollywood produced movies that Indians can boast about in Hollywood. My motto. Kay sera sera. So why worry & enjoy life. Cheers,

    Children of Heaven- Innocent emotions in motion
    A month back my friend asked me to join him for a movie at his place. It was an Iranian movie by a director unknown to me. Frankly speaking I am not a big fan of Irani movies. With lots of cajoling and pushing I sat down in his TV room to watch this flick called Children of Heaven. The next 80 minutes completely blew me off. It was my privilege to spend the next 80 minutes...

    The Graduate – Dustin Hoffman Movie
    The movie starts with young (21 years old) Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) returning home after completing his bachelors degree. By evening there is a party going on in his house where all his parents’ friends are invited. It is very clear for the viewers that young Benjamin is ill at ease with this and would be more than happy to be somewhere else than his house....

    A comment on Dada Mithun
    Following is actually a comment on one of my post on great Dada, Mr. Mithun Chakraboty. It was written by a visitor named Dr. Usman Khawaja. The reason for me putting it up as a post is for all to read as I found it to be written by a very matured and knowledgeable person who possesses flair for writing in a smooth manner. Neither have I changed a single word of this nor...

    Bollywood is not in Punjab
    Was forced to watch Babul (nahinnnn) last night with my wife as she did not to want to watch it alone. Movie was going at a very boring pace (Salman barking Buddy, buddy was as irritating as the Himesh Reshamiya’s voice). Didn’t know that this was a Punjabi family I was viewing till the time the engagement / wedding scene came on then suddenly, wolla out of the blue...

    Well, let’s see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di’s clothes. I couldn’t believe it. That was Jacob’s reply to his boss, the Air Traffic Controller in Airplane...

    Dowry anyone? A movie story
    Last week Babul was released with widow re-marriage as its base subject. The led me to seeking out more women issues that plagues India. My search took me to the dowry issue. I looked up the judiciary system and found Indian Penal Code 498a, the anti-dowry law. Following is an excerpt of the same “Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman,...

    Apun Mithunda! koi shak??
    Mithun Charkaborty. A name that makes me loose my self control, makes my blood boil and my anger go wild. And it for all the wrong reasons. I have always adored and loved this guy. As a child I have watched more of his movies than Amitabh. He is person who has taken me into a totally different world of dancing, spygames and large than life heroism. So the question is...

    Lost In Translation
    Time and time again, Bollywood movie makers have been called copycats for lifting an idea, script or complete scenes from various global movies. This was all OK before the early 80’s as not many Hindi movie-goers were subjected to the global cinema, especially Hollywood. There have been rumors of writers renting out 10 DVD’s, lifting a scene from here, a dialogue from...

    Producers must be crazy!!!
    Since the first Hindi movie (Raja Harishchandra – 1913) there have been hundreds of actors in a leading role. Some became big hits and had lots of success, other fell by the wayside. A number of them were and are great talents. The paying public loved to watch these guys on the screen, over and over again. But for some reason they also took to liking some of the biggest...

    It
    During the hip-shaking days of Disco, a number of our music directors tried their hands to produce pure sounds of this genre. Apna own Sone ki Dukaan (Jewelry Shop) Bappi Lahiri was in the fore-front with soundtracks like Disco Dancer, Karate etc. But no director was able produce a pure disco song that could give competition to the western stuff. There were always certain...

    2 Men and Magic – LP
    For sometime now we have been totally in awe & spell-bound by the fantastic music done by Panchamda (R.D. Burman). Every music discussion lately have been starting and ending with Panchamda. It’s always how he used a comb (Mere samne wali khidki from Padosan) or pieces of glass (Churaliya in Yaadon ki baraat) to get a new sound. Along the way there are number music...
