    My Chennai Cinema Diary
    Well as work beckoned, I was back in Chennai for a short visit of 3 days, incidentally my 2nd visit in less than 2 weeks time. Chennai has more than been home to me and so always has a special place in my heart. This visit was extra special because I ended up watching 3 movies on the big screen all in a span of 24 hours. It was back to my old days of glory and the feeling...

    A twist in the tale of two cities: 99 movie review
    I have studied, worked and lived in Delhi from 1996 to 2007. I was actually present there in Delhi through 99 and Y2k, when those thick pencil box shaped Siemens and Motorola handsets were launched with incoming call Rs 16 and outgoing Rs 32/ minute. We had to pull out the antenna and walk to a ‘better signal area’ for getting better call clarity. I have also met many...

    Happy days are here again. Back are the days of watching films at the CineMandir. The days of cheap thrills while watching the bewildered faces at the Box Office by asking ‘1 ticket each of 3 consecutive shows for the same film’. Aah bliss! ‘Mast naha-dhoke scent maarke’ reached Inox. Bought the tickets, bewildered the ticket guy & looked...

    99 and one viewing…a century
    What do I say. This film completely took me by surprise. After quite some time I watched a commercial B’wood film. I watched 99. Ohhkk, before I get a mild wallop, I didn’t mean it in the true sense of that phrase, but hey, with names like Boman Irani, Kunal Khemu and Mahesh Manjrekar, my mental slate already formed an imprint. Before I entered the theatre...

    The journey from FLAVORS to 99…
    …has been a damn long one! About 4 years ago, Raj and I directed FLAVORS. Anupam was our friend by then and he agreed to produce the film along with us. It is an independent film in every aspect of the word. It was low-budget (which felt ridiculously high given that we were putting in all our savings), we did most of the tasks during production, we used all free...
