    Whatever happened to Thunder Thighs
    [ The inspiration for this small vignette came from one very interesting post : http://passionforcinema.com/kahan-gaye-woh-log/   and from the subsequent comments which were even more interesting. As we enter the age where the next big thing becomes yesterday's news at the blink of the eye, the game of mass oblivion somehow gave birth to this story. thanks for reaing....

    An early morning dream
    supermarket I kiss her in the lips and say good morning. The Sun seems to be all the more bright today. “5 minutes” she says. I know she will take much longer. There is no hurry. Just another Saturday morning. I switch on the TV – All channels show the same message ” Please wait for an important announcement..” Meanwhile she is awake. She...

    Death of the Idealist
    — “Men don’t see things as they are, they see things as THEY are” What is the purpose of Cinema? Is it merely just another form of recreation or a reflection of something much deeper ? Over the last hundred years or so, cinema has come to mean much more than just another form of entertainment, it has in fact evolved into more than just an art form,...

    My Mother’s Sisters…
    Dedicated to: People who have faded away in time, fragrances we no longer relate to, imageries that don’t linger anymore, tastes that have changed… Or, something like that. Ideas rejected last week: 1) Story of a hit-man who loves solving crossword puzzles 2) Story of a foot fetishist who falls in love with an author’s footnotes. “The first thing I need...

    Currytown Comics presents – The Deity : Kill 4
    Pankaj Advani I had just finished ‘Urf Professor’. A producer who liked the film, called me over to discuss a project. As I stepped out of my building, I bumped into a short guy with a paan stained smile, a spray-gun contraption strapped to his back – Kittu Keetnashak. “Pest control?” “No thanks, I don’t have a pest problem.” “I bet you a thousand...

    For all the unlucky Pinki’s… script for a short film
    Prologue: This year, Smile Pinki (by Megan Mylan) got an Oscar for best short documentary. It was about a poor girl, Pinki, who got her cleft lip surgically corrected, thereby saving her from a lifetime of ridicule and ostracism.  http://passionforcinema.com/smile-pinki-2009-and-dr-murari-mukherji-a-pioneer-of-cleft-lip-and-palate-surgery-in-india/ Though I had felt...

    The comic artist
    I am excited to see some interest on graphic novels on PFC. I must say the Passion for Comics in India has definitely gone up in the recent times. It’s all good for hardcore graphic artists turned filmmakers like me! So here I present 2 pages I did 4 of years ago, its part of a series I am working on. Along with the graphic novels idea I am trying adapt this style for...

    A storyline for a short-film…
    Intro: Female centric plots fascinate me. Unfailingly. So, when I landed this idea, about the chance meeting of two women, courtesy a conversation with one of my lady friends, it was irresistible. So much so that, I wrote it down, straightaway. It was then that I wondered if it couldn’t be made into a short film, and hence this article…  A disclaimer: This isn’t...

    Currytown Comics presents – THE DEITY : Kill 1
    Biju D. “Sirjee, horror film banana hai, uske liye characters karna hai aur storyboard bhi”, Pankaj told me over a bottle of old monk, in his usual casual style, while lighting a cigarette. Horror film I had done VFX for in the past, so this genre was not alien to me to work. Mentally I was gearing up for flying ghosts and what have you’s. “Karenge” was my reaction....

    Of Recalled Trekaddicts, Adamantium Plans and Retinal Hallways into Heaven
    Logan: Do I look like a man who exaggerates? Wolverine has been one of my recent addictions. The comic book. I never saw X-Men films. Neither did I pick up their comic books earlier. “Too complex”, I said to both. Much later, quite recently, when the streets were done with all the Batman and Spiderman that they could think of, did I turn towards them. “This guy...
