    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...

    APKGK : Hasna Zaroori hai in this Love Story of Mr. President
    Forget unstoppable media frenzy with the stories of powerful Presidents and details of the secret behind the physical beauty of the few of the first ladies, APKGK is far more interesting story of a far more interesting President and his love interest. What if he is the President of a small youth club “Happy Club” only? Unlike political Presidents PREM is here to...

    Paradigm For Philanthropic Society: Actors turned politicians
    “Paradigm for Philanthropic society” – sounds ambiguous, seems enigmatic. The election season has sprung in the political arena of Indian democracy. The recent announcement of candidates took no one by surprise. Well, quite a paradox. I agree. Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t have dared to define democracy if he had any miniscule foresight on democracy being violated...

    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!

    Rishi Kapoor : Mein ab bachcha nahin hoon!
    First part of Mera Naam Joker was heavily dependent on the acting skills of a young boy Rishi Kapoor, who had made his debut with this film. There is a scene in MNJ and any teenager actor has yet to supersede or even match the performance given by Rishi Kapoor in that particular scene. Raju, a young boy is confessing before the statue of Jesus in a church and his teacher,...

    Amitabh Bachchan and Yash Chopra : Five stars
    Amitabh Bachchan turns 67 today and it can be remembered that like the union of Amitabh Bachchan and Hrishikesh Mukherjee union of AB and Yash Chopra has also been proved as a very fruitful combination for AB, YC and hindi films in general. AB worked with Yash Chopra first time in Deewar in 1975 and last time in Silsila in 1981 (as a hero so not considering their re-union...

    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. All of a sudden the discussion...

    Wanted: Radhe and Salman’s commitments
    Film presents Salman Khan in a role where he is at ease and where his working on his character looks visible. From a Character point of view Salman was at home. Very easily he takes off with the spirit of the Chabhee (keys) wala scene in the beginning and neither scene nor Salman’s overall performance in that scene look like a caricature of the similar scene performed...

    Taxi Driver : An odd scene in the diary of Travis Bickle
    Somebody occupies the omnipresent’s role in a film and this unknown/unseen shows the film to the audience. This “somebody” uses the camera to show a tale. Even if there is a complete darkness on screen this darkness comes via camera to the audience. This somebody could be director whose presence, though invisible, is present in all the frames of a film....

    BULLET motorcyles in the history of Hindi Cinema
    While the heart of the whole nation beats in a unified “Dhak-Dhak” when Hritik Roshan straddles across our living rooms riding the Hero Honda, the original machine that epitomized “Dhak-Dhak” aka the Bullet motorcycle has not found much favor with our film fraternity as far as its portrayal in the world of Hindi cinema is concerned. Now with Harley Davidson deciding...

    Tribute to Non-Actors
    To me, everything about cinema is fascinating and most fascinating are the people who work in it. This is a post, about the people, more than the cinema. Specifically, this is a post about people we see on screen. It’s amazing to see and hear those people in normal life, and realize how they get transformed on screen. I used to be amazed to see how Sridevi used to come...

    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...

    Discerning Few : Rafi Sings For Bachchan
    na fankaar tujh sa tere baad aya mohammed rafi tu bahut yaad aya - A song from movie Krodh Just the other day I was watching the song and something struck me. I felt that the song was ironical in so many ways. Although its a tribute to Rafi Saab, it was sung by Md.Aziz, a so-called Rafi clone, whose voice is such a far cry from the soothing and melodious voice of Rafi....

    Pasanga- for the child in each one of us
    All of us have been kids at some point of time. We have all had our moments of glory, moments of frustration, moments of success, moments of failures etc during our childhood. And barring certain exceptions I’m sure most of us look back with great satisfaction and happiness when we reminisce over our childhood days. Now haven’t many of us wanted to be an actor, a policeman,...

    The Genesis of Aladin – Part 3

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...

    Kick- Telugu Cinema Gets Cheeky
    Ok so what do we usually expect from a Telugu movie these days, especially when it stars a popular hero? That the hero will play to the gallery and work on his strengths. That the movie will contain the typical mass elements like action, around 6 songs which includes an item number, loud villains who are more or less caricatures, nearly all the well known comedians doing...

    Analyze This, Analyze That : Crystal And de Niro’s Comic Act
    I am neither going to Analyze This nor Analyze That. Just pour my thoughts about these two movies that I saw back-to-back on Sunday evening. When AThis ended, I did have a smile on my face and was raring to watch AThat. But at the end of AThat, I was a lot disappointed. In fact, I felt that I should have kept AThat for another day and enjoyed the good humor of AThis; and...
