PFC Bombay Meets Manorama Six Feet Under… in pictures
A rare occasion where many from PFC Bombay turned up for the premiere of Manorama Six Feet under. Vasan must have slumped and fallen asleep on his puter since his email contained only pictures and a short message “Done”… Some of the gang ended up at Phoenixnu’s place and are probably still snoring when this one gets published… the event in words will be covered by them in the comments section most probably… so until then… here’s the pictures and the gang seems to have had a rocking time!

someone should write a review here .
taran adarsh dismisses the film as a non starter
“On the whole, MANORAMA – SIX FEET UNDER disappoints. At the box-office, the lack of buzz as also the weak content will result in the effort going unnoticed. ”
from the description of plot by taran adarsh , this one is indeed chinatown , contrary to what the director and the writer said.
apna foto kidhar hai thakurrrrr!!!!!
Is the movie ‘inspired’ from Chinatown?
dazedandconfused – watch both and decide on your own……
Oz,Striker woh shaam bhi aayegi…jab bhaitenge teen yaar…..Striker mai aur…Ozpiper
kandippa machcha.. kandippa!! [tamglish: most definitely buddy.. most definitely!]
Six visionary directors!
Ten spectacular stories!
ONE cinematic journey!
HAHAHA!! This one has FLOP written all over it. By the way, Is the Sex on the beach the same one leaked by Kartik Krishnan? ;)
(P.S: Did not know where to post this comment….this was the closest)
Dus Kahaniyaan promo looks real good.
Vasan anna, ekdum zhakas!!
Good Student Diploma-ish effort! There are many Rajasthans – this is one of them. Kamal Swaroop’s ‘Om Dar-b-dar was another! What more can one say! And of course we have seen the Polanskis and Antonionis – all already, seen them all. The film reminds me a lot of the warm south of Italy – the area around Bari where Othello went to war with the Turks… and a little bit of Texan deserts.
We are in a world where ‘Bheja Fry’s are ruling the roost and where ham-acting is unabashedly feted…
Small films have a great future with BF, MSFU, KKG but how well it augurs for cinema per se is highly debatable. Besides, such PCFian perma-euphoria is hardly enough to challenge the Chadha-Chopras genre of feel-good cinema. A good review by Anupama Chopra can only be a marginal consolation for her reviewing skills as astounding as Rajeev Masand’s or Mohammed Khalid’s or Nikhat Kazmi’s.

Well, dear Turtle, my contention is that most writers on Indian cinema are absolutely astounding. For one, most of them can barely distinguish a close-up from mid-shot. These film scribes are mere word-smiths who thrive upon a certain linguistic flair they have so painstakingly mastered and without which their existence has little value.
There is another breed of highly sophisticated cinephiles who have returned with degrees from august institutions such as NYU’s Tisch, England’s East Anglia, California’s UC’s myriad campuses, Chicago and elsewhere. They have been through a theoretic grid which is impeccable and which each undergraduate student in those universities has to undergo as an academic mandate. The problem arises when the same theoretic grid fails to take off within our native context. However, it must be understood clearly and unambiguously that the Indian Cinema Studies scene has almost irrevocably shifted out of India and has been ‘outsourced’ to the Universities in the US. If an Indian scholar wants to work on, for example, the fearless Nadia, s/he may run into an irresponsive wall at FTII or NFAI, Pune. The scene would change immediately if the scholar happens to be either affiliated to any of these august Euro-American (especially American) institutions or her/his scholarship is certified by these institution. It is no secret that if you want to work on the Indian cinema, the best place for you is the US and not Rajadhyaksha’s Bangalore, Mainak’s Jadhavpur, Vasudevan’s Sarai or Ranjani’s JNU. A forum like PFC should take up this issue on a near war-footing rather than getting swamped by occasional euphoric swamps.
I agree to panini’s last comment. It would be good if we also start a peer reviewed section in PFC that will critically (or theoretically whatever you say) review Indian films. Appreciating Manoj Kumar (cheering chak de India for atleast trying to do different) can be kept for general section. By peer review, I do not mean me or regular PFCites as reviewer. All the reviewers have to have good credentials. I think we can certainly get quite a few articles by sudhir mishra, Kishore Budha, panini, etc. stringent writing formats has to be enforced (so ajay bhramataj is restricted successfully :D, just kidding) for the peer review section. since it is online, publishing those journals is not a big problem. Some might say that we wont get enough article submission. Its okay even if we have only one article in months as it will be no burden on anyone but surely open up a new vista for PFC. what do you say, oz ?
I’m baaaack! And I love you all…especially Admin…
:-\”
Panini, I agree, there’s way too many ’sirjees’ on this site..!
And RK….if you read my whole transcript carefully, the argument wasn’t about sfu, but infact started with Anurag’s ridiculous contention that you had to be a filmmaker in order to criticize a film..!
ADMIN – agree?
Bhavani, that sounds like a killer film you’re talking about..just the type I like to watch….
Well, here goes my review. Loved the film except that the voiceovers spoiled the whole experience for me. Wouldn’t have minded watching it again otherwise…
