Iâ€™m an author-scriptwriter. My first two novels, 'that thing called Love" and "22 Yards" have both done good business. At the moment, Iâ€™m working on a tv series and starting to work on my third novel.

Had Delhi 6 Been Less Preachy….
Delhi 6 carried huge expectations. However, one can’t help feeling dissatisfied at the end of it. And you wonder why the movie doesn’t work, despite having so much in its favor- a decent idea, impressive performances and superb music. Besides, it sure, has been made with noble intentions. Fact is, this is a truly transient phase for Indians. Our attitudes...

In Wait of Slumdog Millionaire!
The last five weeks have witnessed an unusual ’show of strength’ in Bollywood by three of its biggest stars. Shah Rukh, Aamir and Akshay have gone all out to flex their muscles at the box office- both with stellar, inspired performances and with innovative, no-holds-barred promotions. The results have been varied. First it was Shah Rukh with Rab ne bana di...

The Power of Content
In an industry like ours where the number of movies being churned out every year is consistently increasing, there is a high probability of some of the better content driven small budget movies getting eclipsed by high budget ones with popular stars. Yet, the power of word of mouth publicity mustn’t be underestimated. Thanks to some superb feedback from those who...

Another impressive director…
2008 has been a particularly good year for debutant directors.. I was particularly impressed by Raj Kumar Gupta(Aamir) and Neeraj Pandey( A Wednesday). Last Friday, Jaideep Verma, a fellow novelist, released his first film, Hulla, which I’m told is fairly impressive. Have to watch it soon! This post, however, is for my friend Girish Joshi, another debutant director,...

Watch it, KHUDA KAY LIYE!
Khuda Kay Liye is a story of grave ironies and deals with some inescapable issues centered around religion. The lives of two brothers, Mansoor and Sarmad, belonging to an affluent, liberal minded family in Lahore and pursing music as their profession, take unexpectedly cruel turns. One falls prey to indoctrination towards religious extremism. The other becomes a victim...

Mr. Bush and Mr. Modi: the glaring similarities
I happened to see “Death of a President” recently. The movie follows the investigation of the fictional assassination of President George W. Bush in October 2007. Combining real archival footage with a credible but fictional story, the movie presents a thought-provoking political thriller. Some interesting political stories have, in fact, been released in India in...

The Making of “that thing called Love” Promo and Music Video
My novel, “that thing called Love” was launched in Mumbai on 25thSeptember last year. After the Mumbai launch, a Delhi reading took place on 1st November. Initial sales were pretty good, media reports were decent and most of the feedback I got from readers was positive. It was in early March this year that I decided to do another event around the book. However...

DHOKHA – A perspective
The first posters of Dhokha went up on hoardings by end July if I remember correctly. They declared, “Some Betrayals are never forgotten.” I thought that was rather provocative, considering that the story dealt with an extremely sensitive issue like the involvement of a certain community in the bomb blasts. Thereafter, I followed the pre-release interviews of Mahesh...
