Oye Lucky Oye Oye and a beginner’s guide to Post modernism
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! PosterI am the type who simply skips pages in the weblog or skip channels if someone starts discussing modernism and post modernism. I have always held a strong notion that keeping such thoughts in mind were like Rahul Dravid playing an aggressive swipe in the non strikers end while sachin is smashing sixers and boundaries on the other side. They...

Yaari Hai Imaan Mera, Yaar Meri Zindagi- Friendship as depicted in Bollywood Films
On behalf of Ashwin I dedicate this post to Vrushali, who according to Ashwin is the best friend in the world. Friendship is an integral part of our emotions and friends occupy an important part of our lives. In some cases friends often are given the same status as that of family members when it comes to certain crunch situations. For someone who has been brought up over...

Hrishi Da and Amitabh Bachchan : Bemisal Jodi
Hrishi Da was able to use his actors in a very constructive manner and that is why many of them gave few of their best performances in his films. Very good directors also need very good actors to create remarkable things on the screen. This can be seen via Hrisha Da’s own films also. In the era of mid 60s when coloured films had become a common phenomenon, he had made...

Dev D on V-Day
(Statutory warning: This reviewer has got an incurable Nostradamus complex and is prone to spouting pseudo-profundities just for the heck of it…..) Valentine’s Day is not my favourite part of the year……. I have an extraordinarily strong mush-radar, which was going haywire at about midnight on the 13th of February. My college(IIT Kharagpur) stands...

Dev D : Reader Reactions
iView Author: Random Ramblings (Delhi, India) Emosanal Diaries I guess I am not as over Dev D as I thought…how could I be? For there’s more here than meets the eye… Dev is actually more about me, you, us… scary prospect, ain’t it? How can I identify someone so hell bent on self destruction, someone who has been judged harshly once too often,...

Dev.D: Ib ke howega aggey yaar…
Disclaimer: This is an optimist filmi’s work of fiction. No offence meant to anybody, living, dead or tripping! In the recent past 2 movies that moved me beyond my imagination were Luck By Chance & Dev.D. While I considered LBC to be a crash course to the insides of the Indian Film Industry, Dev.D became a crash course into taming / trying to tame my own demons....

A Mom reviews Dev.d, who says its for the youth?
Dev.D doesnt belong to just the youth of today, it is ageless. Check out a review by the mother of a 30 year old. “My mom is 58. Born and brought up in Bombay. Highly religious and conservative. Brought up on writers like Kalki, Devan, Jayakanthan, James Hardly Chase, Leon Uris, Robert Ludlum, Arthur Healy and Ayn Rand.I dragged her to a cinema hall to watch Dev.D...

Dev D.: Sarat C. is Smiling
Anurag Kashyap’s new film is a mixed package for me. I had thoroughly enjoyed the sub-text in Kashyap’s ‘No Smoking’ (see review), and, I admit my preoccupation while watching Dev D. was again how Kashyap and Abhay Deol (who ideated the adaptation) have interpreted Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic novella Devdas. The setting in modern...

DEV.D: THERAPEUTIC MADNESS
More than fifteen years back a certain Andy Dufresne crawled through five hundred yards of shit to Freedom, years later we are again treated to another man’s tale of finding redemption as he wades his way through the murky swamps of alcohol, drugs and unrequited love. There are places in this world that isn’t made of stone, there is something inside that...

Dev.D- Profound,honest and outrageously brilliant.
Dev.D – Profound,honest and Outrageously brilliant. My joy knew no bounds when I saw Dev.D get 5 star rating in TOI review yesterday. And then, last night I saw another review in Timeout Mumbai which I didn’t like. So, finally, when I went to Inox today, at 10 in the morning, to catch the first day, first show of Dev.D, there was a lot of trepidation. Is...

Why do you want to watch DEV D?
It happened somewhere this week. I have given up riding the bike for quite some time now. I love taking the red bus. Putting on the i-Pod, taking a walk, the dust, the village now intruded by urbanity, the stares, the shades, the town appears slowly on the highway, and somewhere along all this PAAYALIYA kicks in, and I become DEV D! So ya, in other words, WHY DO YOU WANNA...

Dhai Ghante ka Pulp Fixion
This (very) LONG post is about 2 movies & 1 happy filmi meeting that happened. All coincidentally last 2:30 mins (approx). My bro’s & my favourite movie… 1:40 ki last lokal. Lost count of the number of times we have seen this film together & enjoyed it each time. Pulp Fixion (PF) is what I have seen many times, without (till recently) knowing...

Dev.D- When me and Abhay fought.
Abhay deol is the face of “independent” cinema , not just according to Man’s world but lots of others. Rightfully so. He is so independent that he can be very difficult to work with if you don’t know what you are doing. Why? because the man asks questions. Pointed questions. My first instinct whenever i am asked questions or made suggestions to,...

Indian Cinema is feeling Lucky.
Edit Post: I didn’t want to write on this movie, as a lot had already been said and discussed here. But, it was hard to resist myself. Yes. The times are surely changing. And for the better. Dibakar Banerjee’s new offering sweeps you off your feet. First of all, Oye Lucky.. is not a comedy in its entirety, it is a fantastic take on the present society, people’s hollowness,...

Oye Lucky! – Aap hain India ka future
We all work hard for our money. At least some of you do. I don’t believe in guilting people into giving to charity, so I won’t ask you to support good cinema. And I certainly won’t use the trope of paisa vasool; money buys what you want her to buy. She makes the world go around, about that there is no doubt. Tis love that makes this place bearable....

Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga!
Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga! Thus gentle words of endearment did Paresh Rawal speak to his make up man of eight years on the first morning the beard found his cheeks on the sets of Oye Lucky. The beard was a problem. Paresh Rawal hates putting on a false beard. His skin can’t take it. He can’t talk. He shuts off. He hates growing one even more,...

OYE PROMOTION PROMOTION OYE
Can I risk saying that the part of films I hate most, is promoting it? It’s not about the ego, it’s not about projecting an image, it’s not about being lazy or anything else you might think. The truth is, I love making movies but I just don’t have it in me to sell them. I am an actor not a salesman, but most people seem to think that the two are...

OLLO Music : Much beyond your average Jugni’s and Billo’s (with streaming teasers)
There are so many reference points for ‘Punjabi’ in films. You tend to go about it stereotypically. Dhaba. Butter Chicken. Lassi. Aloo da paratha. Truck drivers. Jalandhar. Patiala. Phagwada. And so on. The question is, what defines it? The culture, the language, the mannerisms, the way of life… and the music and dance that finds itself in an exhortation...
