  • 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 Versus Aamir – a toss-up between terrorist movies
    iView Author: Dr. Mandar V. Bichu (Sharjah, U.A.E.) Email: drmandarvb [at] yahoo [dot] com Terrorism fuelled by religious fanaticism has become a burning topic in today’s world.

  • Close Encounters with Close-Ups
    Recently I have revelled in the close encounters with the forgotten art of close-ups in couple of movies. Before I talk of these movies up close let me just share some masala and trivia with you on these close-ups.. The old cameramen who have gone to seed or become inactive don’t leave an opportunity to narrate how they used to relish lighting up for a close-up especially...

    Rajkumar Gupta: “Kaun kehta hain ki aadmi apni kismat khud likhta hain?” thani: “Kismat agar khud likh sakte, to usey kismat kyon kehte!” Anurag Kashyap is India’s most provocative filmmaker.

  • What are you listening to?
    That’s what my mother asked me over phone few days back which made me realize that it was almost 5 months into 2008 and I was still playing songs from No Smoking, TZP, Life in a Metro etc. along with the regular old classics. The only song from 2008 in my playlist was ‘khwaja mere khwaja’ from JA. So I decided to update myself and now that I look around...

Saalaa Phaas Gaayaa.” These were my first reaction of the soundtrack; it doesn’t make any sense because the soundtrack did not make any sense to me. Now I have heard the soundtrack at least dozen of time. I...

    Cutting edge, sharp, looks good. Rajkumar’s first directorial venture. This probably is the first film in Bollywood where the rights were bought from the original. The promo had me wanting more… how does the film turn out… lets wait for the release and watch it May end…
