    My Apprehensions about Paa
    I have seen the promo many times and also visited the upcoming film’s website. I am as intrigued as anybody else by the look of the character Mr. Bachchan is playing and enthused by it. But I am also cynical about Bollywood and the ability of industry big wigs to screw up big projects. Time and again, I have seen nice concepts and plot ideas executed badly on screen...

    Amitabh in PAA : Full Trailer
    A lot of us have been anxious about Amitabh’s look in PAA. The trailer is out.  In this film, Amitabh suffers from a rare genetic disorder called Progeria where he ages faster than the normal biological clock.  Abishek and Vidya play parents to him. I like the music ( Illaya Raja). This is Balki’s next after Cheeni Kum. Enjoy!

    Wanted- Young Stars, Where are they?
    Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal in the blockbuster Magadheera[Note- By young star the reference here is to an actor in his 20’s and who has enough star power to carry off a film on his ‘young’ shoulders.] A short while ago when I was in Mumbai I was involved in a discussion with some friends which included a few PFC authors as well.

    Prasoon Joshi : a ‘Gulzar’ in the making?
    I have been at this post for quite a while now. But yesterday when I chanced upon this news piece that Prasoon Joshi was given the Shailendra award, I was spurred on to complete the post. When I look around at all the lyrical mockery that’s happening and all the poetical gimmickry, I wonder what will be the fate of lyrics in cinema, going ahead. Its not a very happy...

    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...

    Delhi-6 – “Why and Why not”
    ( Spoiler alert- beware those who are yet to watch the movie) Initially I did not have any idea to review or write anything on Delhi-6. After all I had seen the movie on the day of release, found it to have some interesting moments, great music and excellent camera work- but that was all to it. Also with so many others writing about it I did not really feel I would write...

    There is something about Delhi 6…
    Why do we love Ramayan love so much? Of all the factors that people can possibly come forward with, I’ve a relatively simple answer. We love Ramayana because of Ravan. Because, he distinctly draws that line. He writes it on the wall and declares which side he is standing. Now, that makes our job much more simple of where do we want to position ourselves. We need...

    Delhi 6: Postcode for Simple Nostalgia and Messages
    Basking in the success of Rang De Basanti (RDB), Rakesh Omprakash Mehra decided to indulge in some nostalgia. Great films have come out of nostalgia, and Delhi with its old world charm (imagined and real), invites one to explore its narrow lanes that carry quaint names, to seek stories hiding behind high walls and close-set windows, and to regret the loss of a way of life...

    Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman & Gali-Muhalla
    This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that...
