    Free Download: Shh… (Idi Chaala Manchi Ooru) OST
    Small film… the most misused phrase in the cinema industry. Different film… another most misused phrase in the Indian cinema industry. But honestly, this difference is what every new producer sets out to make, whilst their movie is in the planning phase. Only a few succeed though…. like this pair from Apoorva Chitra, who promised to themselves that...

    rhesus monkey and the most awesome non-human characters
    so, who are the best non-human actors you love? listing out my faves below. Kung Fu Panda – A big bouncy bundle of pure awesomeness. E.T – He looks like a giant piece of galactic turd. But what a heart! Yoda – Looks like a booger, he does. Handy with light saber, he is. Nemo – I loved him so much that I moved to a place close to the great barrier...

    Hope Floats!
    K.Balachander did it once! K.Vishwanath did it twice!! And now, after 18 long years, like the exiled Pandavas who won their kingdom back, the Telugu moviedom regained its pride, thanks to this one man who dared to hope… K.Sathyanarayana or Satish Kasetty as he’s better known. Satish’s debut movie Hope has been adjudged the Best Feature Film on Social...

    Sivan’s Before The Rains

Deepak Chopra in his recommendation compared the movie to E.M. Forster’s “A Passage to India” and stories like “In the Bedroom”, “Little...

    Lost in Oz
    So, about this place which I call home… Kangaroos, dingos, kookaburras, diggers, beaches, BBQs, UTEs, mates and vegemite… and movies. There you go. That about sums it up, pretty much! Yes, I am talking about the Downunder, the Australia or, in short, Oz. IMHO, this magical sounding geographical namesake of the founder of PFC is, in some ways, not very unlike...

    Sunday 100 : First Love
    Sorry about a late Sunday 100… took time to recover from the self flagellation of the weekend movie watching. First Krazzy4, then Jalsa, and then U, Me aur Hum. So this Sunday 100, which could have been crazy or kinky now gets mushy. So here goes… (you know something? it’s not my mistake – because our dear Honhaar Goonda’s AWOL is messing...

    Please Finch my Button.
    Say we’re playing word association, and say one of us says “David Fincher.” The odds are 10 to 9 in favor of the other person going “FIGHT CLUB!” That’s the reputation of the guy and the movie that made him immortal in our minds (in my mind at least). So, why wouldn’t I be curious when I hear that the auteur and the actor are...

    2008
    The following are, in no particular order, a few hopefully good super hero movies that I anticipate will make my/our mainstream movie watching experience worth its buck! HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY Guillermo del Toro returns, with the dark horse of this year’s comic-book movie, bolder bigger and better than its 2004 predecessor, to give the other superheroes a run...

    The Freedom of Kashmir
    I am sure most of you must have seen this already, still, couldn’t contain myself from sharing it here. I was thrilled beyond words when I saw this. Romance, Pathos, Patriotism, War – the multi colored canvas of this man’s life — Kashmir Singh, what a prophetic name! — isn’t it full of emotions? This story, literally, is the real life replica...

    Year We Go Again!
      “The reels roll. Colors of yesteryears bloom again!” It’s that time of the year again! Bidding adios to the old while you usher the new year in — sure, we’ve stopped having new year’s and have been having recycled years instead, but that’s a different post though — and getting reminiscent about the best of the movies during...

    Konfessions of an Erstwhile Smoker
    Spolier Alert: Please don’t read this post if you haven’t watched the movie “No Smoking”.   Unlike during the Black Friday release, the supreme powers were in my favor this time. No Smoking was being released in Australia, at a multiplex just 10 minutes away from my home. I was ecstatic. Booked my tickets in advance. Day 1 – Show...

    Few Shots of Nostalgia
    Once upon a time in India, radios, or transistors as they were called, were the primary mode of entertainment, and Binaca1 was the “most loved toothpaste” all over the country, or at least, the Hindi speaking parts of it. Posters were the only means of communication when it comes to promoting the movies. There were posters on the walls, in the train stations,...

    Duet !
      It was a destined-to-be combination. The duo ruled the roost for almost a decade, stealing the hearts and souls of all the movie goers in South India. This is how it all started. After producing super hits like Sankarabharanam and Sagarasangamam, Poornodaya brought in a not-so-popular young man, whose artistic debut feature was a commercial dud, to direct their...

    Prison Heat
    Warning: This post contains content that may be found objectionable by some sensitive souls. It was late 90’s. I was a grad student – and I had a car and the cable TV… HBO, Sundance, USA, Showtime, Comedy Central, and… hold your breath… Playboy. During then, this one time, we (my gang and I) saw this movie called Prison Heat or something...

    That’s Passion!!!
    One look at it, and you will realize that it is a typical South Indian village. The vista evokes nostalgia in every Anna, Chetta, Thambi and Thamma — the rusty red (Mangalore) terracotta tiled roofs on the cute little row of houses that are huddled together like one single cozy family; the dusty roads, all of them ending in unison near one chowk – the center...

    Had He Been A Phoenix!
    The movie begins. But the screen’s still black. Then slowly the blackness starts rising up like a curtain, unveiling the eye-piercing brightness which hits you hard. Then suddenly you, the viewer, realize that the camera, literally, has taken you for a ride — you are in a car which just moved out of the dark garage into a sunny street, and the rising darkness...
