    Aladin’t or Euthanasia?
    This post takes a lead from my last write-up. However, should have taken a while to write, had it not been for a “different” kind of discussion with one of the popular film-makers. It was Friday late afternoon and, it so happened that one of the creative film-makers with quite a hitlist in his kitty (in varied capacities), posted a comment on one such public...

    Aladin Review – And Analysis
    Aladin is a decent film – not great, but not as bad as some people seem to be gleefully making it out to be. It’s good clean fun, it’s laugh-out-gut-bustingly-loud in several places, and it’s the kind of film you can happily take your kids or kid cousins to. While I wouldn’t say it’s a path-breaking classic, I would definitely say all seven of us had a good...

    Writer ki izzat and a happy incident
    Salim-Javed used to carry a paint-ka-dabba on a bicycle to hand-paint their names on the film posters the night before the film released. (Source: Javed Akhtar’s interview book by Nasreen Munni Kabeer.) Blatant lies.... Co-writer's name is missing againJaved Akhtar admits this much, and it may be dismissed as a fiction or dramebaazi, but the story is a good starting...

    #$%* you, Vishal and Shekhar
    Early morning. Maybe 7 A.M or thereabouts. White seagulls across the grey skies that melt into the grey sea. A continuum all around of grey tones, dark and dank. In the middle of the crowded city, a place of absolute, total, terrifying aloneness. The bus stop at Haji Ali, across the road from the famous mosque. A strip of land leading into the sea and instead of into nothingness,...

    Aladin: A wish came true!
    Love is in the air... [Disclaimer: A personal kinda filmi & slightly longer post] Just back from Vada-pao-dabeli-rashtra, happy as if I found my Genie, sleep-deprived yet dreamy-eyed, lethargic yet waiting to conquer new horizons & blah blah blah. Well, things are going great & the stage is set. For me to enter films? For me to quit advertising? For me to...

    Aladin Genesis 4 – Ringmaster Arrives
    EROS PREVIEW THEATRE, 1998 I get invited to the screening of a film. For the first time in my life, I am seeing a film before its release. And here I meet for the first time, Sanjay Gupta, one of my favourite directors and a fine technician. The man who taught me that it’s always good to start with a poster when you are staring at a gaping blank wall. CUT TO: MEHBOOB...

    The Genesis of Aladin – Part 3
    I remember the day clearly… FILM CITY. FLOOR 9.  2003 I stand in one corner.  Atul Kasbaker clicks away stills for Dabur, while Mr. Bachchan poses.  Suddenly he shouts “STOP”!  - It’s too boring…let’s get some music on.  Hurry hurrush rush … and a music system appears by magic in which he slides in a CD. The music is from a new film yet to...

    ‘Aladin’ or How I learnt to start worrying, slow down and make a movie : 2
    ‘Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho toh saari kaynat tumhe usse milaane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai’ - Om Prakash Makhija Things were cool. Were going to get cooler as I was off to London (very bad joke, sorry) to meet Charles. I was running seriously low on money and had just got permission to use a small gym in Pali Hill, FREE, which was fantastic. Very nervously...

I am here to share my experience in film-making and in making ‘Aladin’ and hope it helps someone in their...

    Movies to look forward for in 2009
    2009 has started on a sluggish note as far as the Hindi film industry is concerned. After 2 months we have yet to come across a certified hit. The mega hyped up movie of January, Chandni Chowk to China failed like one of those spurious Chinese products and didn’t make an impact at the box office. Raaz2, Dev.D and to a certain extent Luck By Chance & Delhi 6...
