    Kamal Haasan Speaks
    Kamal Haasan is getting back to direction five long years after he wielded the megaphone for Virumandi.

    filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend
    Finally, sanity is being restored, or at least an effort is being made to do so, in the 54th Filmfare Awards. I was so glad to see movies like Rock On, OLLO and MMJ winning, and movies like RNBDJ and Dostana taking a backseat. Although the nominations were a little fuzzy[some categories had 5 nominations and some had 6, just to please a few people I guess], but given the...

    A wednesday – a 90 minute thriller –really.
    So when I picked up the DVd from the local grocery store for viewing, my wife asked me what kinda movie it was. Rarely has she seen me renting a Hindi DVD. I told her that it is supposed to be a ‘thriller’. The next question was ‘who are there in it?’ I told ‘Naseer and Anupam’. The reaction was something of a suggestion that I go have...

    Na Na To Bollywood Nanos
    Tata gave us a common man’s dream car Nano..Bollywood too, of late, has been producing its own Nanos ( movies with the budget between 2-3 crores)..Not only the Nanos but Nannies ( movies with the budget between 4-6 crores) and Nanas ( movies with the budget of ten crores plus) also ..(These categories are home-grown and product of this finicky mind of mine).....
