  • Get A Celebrity To Say Few Things About Your Film….
    Yes, that is what I have been hearing from the time we wanted to run a publicity campaign for Frozen. We wanted to follow a new way of releasing an independent film…very few prints (three to be precise),  platform/staggered release, low cost marketing and blah blah. But one support we wanted was from the media, to write something interesting about the film  and...

  • Screening Of Frozen…
    I didn’t know how to start this post. But as the hope for the release of Frozen is getting brighter I was advised to do some self-promotion. Frozen has become something like an “underground film”. People talk about it but have not seen it. It’s a different matter that it has been to 30 International Film Festivals and has won 19 awards in the...

  • It Is Time…
    Yes…yes it is time to realise that we as citizens of India have to take the blame for whatever is happening in Mumbai. I am writing this post with great anguish and pain at whatever I am seeing on the television and the news I am getting. We as Indians have become so numb and thick skinned that tomorrow we will go on with our lives and forget everything. I am ashamed...

  • Granada Sojourn
    “Perder el Norte” (to lose one’s North) in Spanish means to lose one’s way, to become disoriented. This also means that the map has no meaning, you wander off from the usual route. This according to me allows you to look at things in a new way, chart new courses and maybe look at the whole existence differently. I had this feeling many a time after making Frozen....

  • Frozen-Black and White
    A NOTE ON WHY IN BLACK & WHITE The question has been often asked to me about the reasons behind doing this film in black and white. I hope this helps explain our stance. Let me say something about the setting. The landscape of Ladakh is very stark. The colours are predominantly shades of amber. In the winters there is not a speck of green to be seen. The foliage is...

  • The Frozen Generator
    Have you heard of shooting a sync sound film without a silent generator? I guess not unless it’s a silent film. Well we did just that during the shoot of Frozen. We shot a sync sound film with a 125 kv open generator. The time we decided that we wanted to shoot a sync sound film in icy heights of Himalayas, people thought we were crazy. How would we take a generator...
