    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...

    DVANDVA – Duality of an Independent Filmmaker
    My upcoming and First Feature Film During second year of my PG, I was quite aware that I made wrong career choice. Not only grades, attendance and most importantly my interest was “land low”. I just could not see myself as a Manger working for some multinational company. I was deep in Identity crisis. And that point of time filmmaking was definitely not the choice. MBA...

    Films 08,09:Catching up on a Wishlist
    Bright Star This one is for my low literature quotient. The film gathered rave reviews at the last Cannes, then it brings the Romantics in full bloom in a pre-Victorian era, has Jane Campion behind the camera. Keats. Poetic. Subtle. Doomed love. Epical. Love. Loss.Reasons enough. I am also interested in seeing how poetry(evident and symbolic) is blended into cinema. Few...

    090909 – Final Call for Sanity
    We had such potential… such promise… We have come a long long way indeed. Through all these weeks, realizing a dream I had for long. Actually a few of them. Tim Burton’s cinema. The Ever Enchanting World of B films, classic horror, Goth-Drama, Not-your-average-Animation, the work that goes behind a film that gets it’s inspiration from all these...

    Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day – the Trailer’s Out!
    It’s out. Troy Duffy, the crazy guy who once was the man to watch out for, after he came out with Boondock Saints a decade ago, then disappeared into oblivion, is back with his sequel. And looks like it gets crazier and crazier and crazier… Like the first, the sequel too is written and directed by Duffy. Duffy, incidentally, has been video blogging the sequel...

    IFFLA ’09: The show begins!
    It’s a beautiful day in California and after a furious 5hrs drive from SFO, I am finally here – at Arclights Cinema, the venue for the 7th edition of Indian Film Festival of Los Angles (IFFLA). It’s quiet out here, the people are still gathering. A few familiar faces of volunteers here and there, some with a hint of recognition, some with indifference but the energy...

    Melted by Frozen
    Vipin Handa, film critic and filmmaker, is back to reviewing films, as he reviews ‘Frozen’ exclusively for PFC. Sometimes you are numb, sometimes you are robbed of words, and sometimes you are baffled. All three emotions struck me in a row, when after 25 years of reviewing films, nonsensical films, powerful films, beautiful films, and ‘run of the mill’...

    Movies to look forward for in 2009
    2009 has started on a sluggish note as far as the Hindi film industry is concerned. After 2 months we have yet to come across a certified hit. The mega hyped up movie of January, Chandni Chowk to China failed like one of those spurious Chinese products and didn’t make an impact at the box office. Raaz2, Dev.D and to a certain extent Luck By Chance & Delhi 6...

    Froze with a glimpse of Frozen
    The beautifully etched first shot, the equisite black and white shades to it, the sheer sensuality and the stunning cinematography, is all you can capture of Frozen by the first few seconds of the glimpse of the movie. We have seen wallpapers, stills, behind the scene videos, but when it is wrapped into that four minute trailer, and the final look comes out, it is worth...

    Dev.D – Before the dawn. There are lots of interesting things going so right for Dev.D that there’s this audacious hope that it’s going to be that outrageous piece of art which is also going to rake in the box office riches. Recently I was in a north India trip and I saw the curiosity among the youth. The college goers and the Young professionals in their...

    DAMfest09 – Dibakar, Oye Lucky! Digital
    Global warming has taken its toll even on our beloved film industry. With alarmingly declining green cover and rapidly multiplying population, dancing around the trees and fluttering translucent coloured dupattas in fertile fields is no longer an option for filmmakers. So what do they do? Tough to answer. After all, this is the phase in which Hindi cinema had been stagnating...

    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...

    The template of a city, the fate of a nation
    Interesting times these, overwhelming at times, but intriguing on the whole. Films have taken every possible commoditized space. Film songs were never more instant. Yet the perfect irony plays its wishful role quite consistently, and it might all be a game of chance, a mere coincidence, for every overwhelming film or song there are 20 bad ones. So happy and lucky as we...
