    Debate: So the reviewer revealed your movie’s plot… huh?
    This was intended to be a debate between the filmmakers, the film watcher and of course the bloggers, critics and everyone who read or write a review or react to a movie in PFC Club’s exclusive boards for Level II and Exclusive authors. As the debate kicked and grew in many intelligent and in depth point of views, I felt this needed a much wider participation from...

    Rakta Charitra… now or never
    “He will bounce back”… that’s what a few in the industry had very confidently mentioned to me in person during my visit to Bombay earlier this year. I didn’t believe it. I thought he was done and out. I would only carry memories of some of those impactful hitting me right on the head stories and even trailers he’d made ever since I...

    Y2K, The Decade that was… Part 1
    The last year, 2010 of this decade is about to take flight. And while we all at PFC and numerous other sites, blogs and boards dedicated towards the passion for cinema, are talking, discussing, trashing, uplifting, ditching, or fucking up movies and movie professionals and anything related to cinema, very few have had the chance to take a pause, a breather and look at...

    Shatrughan Sinha’s makeover in RGV’s Rakta Charitra
    Shatru-saab and RGV!!! But it will all depend on RGV’s writing team. As is being seen in his last few products, RGV without good writers is no RGV. Fingers crossed

    Netflix. It changed how America sees movies. You go online you create your list of movies you want to watch. You select the number of movies you want to see at a time. And Voila! The DVDs are at your doorstep. 10 Million Subscribers. That’s One Crore Accounts. Then about 2 years ago, Netflix introduced direct download. Watch movies on your computer, within your same...

    A bit late here, but our previous attempts had turned giving PFC the mobile wings into a bit of a disaster. But nevertheless we are done with giving it iPhone and Blackberry wings. Here are a few snapshots of how PFC turns out on an iPhone. The objective was to keep it as lightweight as possible for speedy downloads. You also have the ability to switch on and off the Mobile...

    An open letter from Mr. Ram Gopal Varma?
    Received this letter in our inbox. I’m not sure if it is really RGV or someone impersonating him or perhaps this is a marketing ploy. It could be anything. I haven’t seen Agyaat yet, so have no idea why he is so mad about, assuming this email is sent by him and not an impersonator. It could be one of his fans though, chewing through reviewers like meat through...

    Censorship : Do we need watch guards to dictate what we see?
    A reality show in India, based on asking its participants, very pointed questions, as they are hooked to a lie detector machine – has come under fire. From politicians in particular. Since then every media channel, politician or anyone who could get some mileage or not off this, is slapping the front lines with their opinions. TimesNow, like everyone else has not...

    That thing called “Critics”
    “It’s not a critic’s job to reflect box office taste.” When Roger Ebert talks, movie-fans listen. They may agree to him or they may not. But they listen. And in today’s world where twelve year olds can come and fart on his online reviews, it is nothing short of disrespect for one of leading supporters of good cinema, who’s spent his...

    The Pacific : What a Surprise!
    Now, The Band of Brothers, is my most favorite war story depicted on the big or small screen. Of course there’s Patton another favorite of mine and a few others, but The Band of Brothers and its 101st Airborne division somewhere hit that sweet spot for me. So it came as a BIG surprise when I heard, that Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman (the trio who...
