Tears in Heaven – Kahan Gaye Who Log Part 2
When PFC was starting and was on its first leg, I had written an article called “ Kahan Gaye Who Log” and tried to discuss as what happened to some actors and actresses who, while very popular in their heydays, had suddenly vanished. People like Mamta Kulkarni, Vidya Sinha, Atul Agnihotri etc….This was in September 2006. However, what surprised me that...

The Fan is sick and tired.
I am THE hardcore movie fan. I am the fan that spends his hard earned money to buy a ticket and see a film. I am the Fan that goes to a multilplex with the same fervour as he goes to a single hall dingly theatre.That is why I am here. But the fan is pissed off. Like hell. It takes a lot of hard work to earn money and then to pay 500 bucks for a movie ticket shows passion....

Fathers and Sons : Exploring the most complex human relation.
“MAA” may be the most used word in the Indian film industry but I wanted to take a look at another complex human relation that has often been ignored. The father and son relation. There have been films from time to time that have taken a fresh look at this relation and explored new facets. I am not talking of the general father gets killed- son takes revenge...

AB’s latest style statement for Jhoom barabar
Hi Guys, I just saw this pic on Rediff (its been posted by someone called Sanat who took the picture). It’s AB’s new look in Jhoom Barabar which is being shot in London. Nowdays, I dont know what to say about the big B. Is he experimenting with his looks a tad too much? Sexy Sam was still OK. He has a pony tail in the forthcoming movie with Tabu (Cheeni kum)....

Predicting the Future.
Generally, there is a lot of buzz about the new films coming up this year. Crores have been spent on making these and more still to be spent on the marketing and hype. Some are tributes ( quote – shahrukh khan about DON) some are copies ( Lolita) some are sequels – Dhoom 2. So what will be the future of these films? I am putting my reputation (whatever little there...

Kahan Gaye woh log..
Do not fear my friends, this is not a repeat of the (in)famous dheeraj Kumar serial that was a rage over a decade ago. With his twisted (literally)smile, he dished out trash and we (due to lack of better options) actually sat and saw it. This was when TV meant doordarshan – or as I put it BC – Before Cable. I wanted to talk about actors and actresses who came...

Honest movies that failed
So KANK is a super duper hit! And so are Phir Hera Pheri (rip off of Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels), Krrish and a bunch of other crappy stuff! While the producers guild goes about tom-tomming the resurgence of movies, i wanted to talk about a bunch of films that – according to me – had soul! Not just lovely locales and big stars – backed by marketing...
