whats the point with this hindi dude?

There’s no point, dude. He’s just more comfortable with the language.

BTW, jaisa ki maine pehle bhi kahan tha, Taare Zameen Par bilkul tik nahin payegi. Woh achchi film beshak hai, par woh universally appealing ‘world cinema’ ki shredi mein nahin aati hai, jis tarah Lagaan, Monsoon Wedding ya Vishal Bhardwaj ki filmein hoti hai. In filmon mein ek universal sensibility hain, jo TZP mein nahin hain. Bahut zyaada ’sentimental’ picture bhi hain, aur waise bhi kisi bhi standard se woh antarrashtriya desho ke in Maharathi filmon (jaise ki 3 monkeys) je saame pheeki padh jaayegi. [Whew

we should stick to the base, non-regional language, particularly in an article post … if we start this comfort staff then why not bong, tamil, marathi and others?? …
Taare Zameen Paar have no chance, unless AK delivers another fluke …

Come on, he is writing about Hindi movies, and Hindi is not a regional but a Pan-Indian national language. Ajay always writes in Hindi and a considerable no. of people like the way he writes, you can’t compare it to Tamil, Telegu or Bengali which perhaps 5% of readers will understand. Still, no offence, but if you aren’t comfortable reading it, I guess you could just skip the article, na?

Iran, “The Song of Sparrows,” Majid Majidi, director;
Anybody has seen this?

RoodRow, dude u shud be named RudeRow. Dude u r offending a lot of people with this stupid problem of yours. 1st of all Hindi is our national language, so don’t u compare it with a regional language (with all respect to all the regional languages). If Ajay ji is comfortable with Hindi so be it, he always gives such valuable information. And finally this web site is for the love of Cinema, not a discussion panel for languages, as Jahan said in a very polite manner, if u r not comfortable just skip the article. But for gods sake don’t behave like a coconut. I hope u take my comments in good spirit. Have a good day. Ahhh!! almost forgot, Ajay ji thanks a lot for this article, will try to find and watch all these films on the list.

please…mudde ki baat karen.majid majidi jaise na jaane kitne great filmmakers ki films yahan hain.un par baat karen.agar kisi ne in filmon ko dekha hai to please likhe.

Well…What i feel..we shouldn’t have sent ‘Taare Zammen par’ for Oscar..there is no point in sending film like taare zameen par..coz it’s a brillient movie made with indian values..which Academy awrad commitee will never understand.we don’t have to prove anybody that , our films are good by just winning Oscar award..Indian cinema..is growing like anything..we are making brillient films..like ‘mumbai meri jaan’,wednesday,taare zameen par…ect..and we are getting recognition worldwide..even if indian film wins oscar..i won’t be happy…

review published in variety
The Song of Sparrows
Avaz-e gonjeshk-ha (Iran)
By ALISSA SIMON
Majidi Film production. (International sales: Majidi Film Production, Tehran.) Executive producer, Javad Norouzbeigi. Produced by Majid Majidi. Directed by Majid Majidi. Screenplay by Majidi, Mehran Kashani.
With: Reza Naji, Maryam Akbari, Kamran Dehghan, Hamed Aghzai, Shabnam Aklaghi, Neshat Nazari.
After a critical misfire with the moralistic melodrama “The Weeping Willow,” Iran’s only Oscar-nominated director, Majid Majidi (“Children of Heaven”), returns to dramatic territory he effectively mined in earlier works in “The Song of Sparrows.” Using amateur actors, this deeply humanistic story set among his society’s underprivileged explores how capitalism and technology corrupt man, making him lose spiritual purity and all-important connections to family, friends and nature. Beautifully crafted, often sentimental, sometimes humorous pic may feel dramatically thin to some, but should enjoy commercial success domestically and appeal to niche distribs in territories where helmer reps a known quantity.
Protag Karim (Reza Naji) enjoys his work as chief ostrich wrangler at a rural ranch west of Tehran. Naturalistically shot scenes of his charges — inherently cinematic creatures — moving through imposing open landscapes provide memorable contrast with ugly, crowded cityscapes later on.
Karim lives with wife Narges (Maryam Akbari), two daughters and a young son in a small village. Like their neighbors, they share when they have plenty and lend a helping hand where needed. When an ostrich escapes, Karim tries desperately to find it. Spectacular shots of him on a mountaintop, covered in an ostrich hide and manipulating a wooden bird’s head and neck in a kind of mating dance, are echoed at pic’s end with the real thing.
Fired from his job, Karim travels to the city in hopes of replacing his eldest daughter’s broken hearing aid. There, he’s mistaken for a motorcycle taxi driver and begins to transport businessmen (all shouting into cell phones) and consumer products through heavy traffic.
The passengers and places he encounters start to transform his generous, honest nature, much to his wife’s distress. After Karim suffers an accident that leaves him unable to work, his sense of faith and purpose is ultimately restored.
Rounding out Karim’s simple story and repping the innocence of childhood, a quixotic subplot — in which local boys try to clear a sludge-filled water storage area to breed fish — yields some strong visuals and too-obvious sentiment.
As usual with Majidi, lyrical lensing (here by Tooraj Mansoouri, who delivers some stunning aerial shots) and strong production design (from Asghar Nezhad-Imani) convey more character info than the dialogue does. Contributions from longtime editor Hassan Hassandoust and sound recordist Yadollah Najafi also underscore the turmoil of the modern world.
Grammy-nommed composer and musician Hossein Alizadeh, a master tar and setar player, provides the haunting score.
More than one option(Person) Asghar Nezhad Imani
(Person) Asghar Nezhad-Imani
Camera (color) Tooraj Mansoouri; editor, Hassan Hassandoost; music, Hossein Alizadeh; production and costume designer, Asghar Nezhad-Imani; sound designer, Mohammad Reza Delpak; sound recordist, Yadollah Najafi; special effects, Mohsen Rouzbehani. (Reviewed at Berlin Film Festival — competing), Feb. 10, 2008. Running time: 96 MIN.

no offence taken.it was just a suggestion.
@Puneet,
that was really polite.I must learn that skill from you.
I saw “Entre les murs”, very well made but not sure if it will make the final cut … “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” was’nt even nominated last year. “Waltz with Bashir” looks very good from the trailer and also garnered some early raves.
loading...
RoodRow dude… its ok there will be no point of language so why you writing in English???… why you are not writing in Tamil???.. because you are more comfortable in English so you can express yourself better in English than Tamil… so it is point…

I don’t know, but I disagree with most of the people here, Taare Zameen Par was a good choice, I believe, whether or not it would stand against its opponents remains to be seen, and without seeing other films in the category and just saying Taree Zameen Par won’t make the cut doesn’t sound fair to me.
It would be better if we have what kind of movies can/should make the cut( the final 5, I encourage people to share their views about some of the movies in the list and put forward their views), otherwise the discussion is all futile.

Ajayji, is baar competition toh kaafi tez hain aur yeh nahin ki marketing ka asar Oscars pur nahin padta. Agar marketing influence aur approach ki baat ki jaye toh main yeh kahoonga ki Aamir Khan say achcha, Oscars ki publicity strategy banna paye, ab tuk toh hum logon nay yahan Hollywood mein pichlay dus salon mein nahin dekha hain (Shah Rukh Khan bhi bahut hulki publicity kur paye). Is hisaab say Aamir ki movie Oscar mein bhejna bahut uttam hain. Aur UTV – Aamir nay strategy banana shuru kar diya hain. Suna hain Aamir jald hi yahan pahunchenge ground execution ke liye.

@Shatrughan,
i write in english to make myself understandable to the maximum extent, not because i am comfortable with that. I am not at all comfortable in english. i just felt that the number of pfc readers who understand english is more than the same for hindi. I was politely assured it was not. I am fine with that.

Main Tanul ji ke vichaar se bilkul sehmat hoon.
Ek baat Main Oz aur tamaam PFCians se poochna chahta hoon. Angrezi mein “to” ko “toh” aur “the” ko teh” kyon likhte hain sab log ? dimaag ka dahi ban jaata hai bhaisaab, yah padhke :-)

Under The Bombs
Tricks
Gommorah
Waltz with Bashir
The Class
Three Monkeys
songs of Sparrows
Revanche..
most bets would be on The Class and I would say Tricks and Under the bombs too.. just the kind of movies the Academy loves.. TZP will not make it to even the second round. I hope it does for their sake.
loading...
I would say a movie like Lagaan had no chance, a movie based on a game which people in U.S. had no idea about, so almost zero relatibility on that front, plus, if you try analysing things from an ‘academy point of view’ the story was of the usual underdog winning at the end of the day, which have donned the screens for umpteen number of times, but it still surprised eveyone by coming in the final 5.
Also, I don’t even think Oscars should be a make or break yardstick for any movie, I mean they selected Forrest Gump over Pulp Fiction, and they also have many dubious decisions up their sleeve. But, that is what it is, Oscars or no Oscars, I’m not going to lose sleep over Taree Zameen Par. But, yes, I would like to watch movies like The class, Tricks. et al as Mr. Kashyap suggested.

I read that Three monkeys is a boring film

The Oscars to me are mostly bull. The only good thing is that unlike our desi awards, they dont create categories just to pander to stars ego.
But i do think the Oscars are biased to a certain class of movie making. Neither Brian De Palma nor Tim Burton have ever been nominated.
Also i dont understand why Jim Carrey never wins it, inspite of some fabuluos performances in movies like The Truman Show, The Majestic, Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. I guess they only see him as a comedian, which is not a fair appraisal of his talent.

@Rafi,
Wow ..I didn’t know that – thanks for the link. Wonder whether Amole Gupte had read this book before coming up with the script or it was a BIG coincidence …either way, it was a very good film.
