  • Amitabh in PAA : Full Trailer
    A lot of us have been anxious about Amitabh’s look in PAA. The trailer is out.  In this film, Amitabh suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Progeria where he ages faster than the normal biological clock.  Abishek and Vidya play parents to him. I like the music ( Illaya Raja). This is Balki’s next after Cheeni Kum. Enjoy!

    If we also believe in the forcast made by José Argüelles then we are not far away from a Pralay. Roland Emmerich’s new film 2012 is based on the 2012 phenomenon. Present civilization will be destroyed around 21-22 December 2012! Hopefully a Manu will remain there to carry the existence of human race into a new era. Leave procrastination follow the dreams!...

  • Rang Rasiya : Colors from the life of Raja Ravi Varma
    Ketan Mehta has captured the colorful world of Raja Ravi Varma in his latest film Rang Rasiya. A biographer documents the life of his subject. An art critic/historian explores the artistic creations of an artist. A novelist may explore deeply the moments of the life of an artist. Hopefully Rang Rasiya , based on Ranjit Desai’s novel, does full justice to the different...
