Striker Review: Chandan Arora Strikes
My mother, sometimes I call her Chintu, sometimes Shobha, sometimes Amma, depending on what we are talking about, so I didn’t mind much when Bombay was renamed as Mumbai, though I still prefer to call it Bombay, irrespective of whatever & whoever. I felt real bad when the ‘ownership’ issue was raised by the greedy politicos. Who the hell owns Bombay...

Sorry Ma, I saw WUS…
Guru Devo Bhava October 2nd was a holiday. Being a dry day, I asked my ma, what to do, where to go? She told me what any South Indian mother would. “Just a few more moths in Bangalore, why don’t you go to Mantralaya?” I said OK. Nothing could be worse than a ‘dry day’. Man, was I wrong? There was a flood. The whole shrine was under water....

Dil Bole Hadippa: Khoob ladee mardanee Rani but…
“From woman man is born; within woman man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married; women becomes his friend; when his women dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her kings are born. Without woman there would be no one at all”. (Guru Nanak) That was said by Sikh Guru but in reality today’s Punjab suffers most alarmingly...

Sankat City- drives away the blues caused by Bhramaram
We keep using the phrase ‘as different as chalk & cheese’ in our daily life so often that sometimes it takes one by surprise when you actually experience it in a very interesting way. The weekend that went by was another filmy weekend for me, but one that was rather very special. Just like enjoying a biriyani and a pizza equally or freaking out on ghazals and rock...

Sankat City: Love in Underwar
I watched Sankat City at the premier show on 8th July. The brief account of my experience, accompanied by few poor quality celebrity pictures can be read here.

Anupam Kher stood on the aisle and started...

Nilu Phule
For those wondering where is the powerhouse of an actor Nilu Phule, this article, points to Anupam Kher’s search for Phule and eventually finding him in Pune. Due to health reasons, Phule couldn’t make it to the get together of Saaransh. Mohan Joshi is mistakenly mentioned as the romantic lead in the article. It was actually Madan Jain.

Sankat City
Last day of shooting. We are filming from below, a scuffle between Guru and Shetty, who are at the window of the first floor. I look through the viewfinder, I can’t see Shetty, though he is very much there. Chiru the cinematographer says, ‘damn, he is dark, let me throw some more light on him’. He does so, but Shetty still doesn’t register. He throws...

Khosla Ka Ghosla is the result of minute observation
KKG is about observation. Observation about happenings around us and observation about people and their behaviour and their mannerisms have been included in the film.

A wednesday – a 90 minute thriller –really.
So when I picked up the DVd from the local grocery store for viewing, my wife asked me what kinda movie it was. Rarely has she seen me renting a Hindi DVD. I told her that it is supposed to be a ‘thriller’. The next question was ‘who are there in it?’ I told ‘Naseer and Anupam’. The reaction was something of a suggestion that I go have...

Lots of soul, lots of heart – that’s what Tahaan is
Kashmir has never been captured on celluloid so magnificently. What’s new in that, when Santosh Sivan is the cinematographer, you might ask. Sivan has this innate capacity to capture the character of the locations he shoots his or others films in. But you have to watch Tahaan to find out what I mean. So many films have been shot in Kashmir over the years, from those...

India also needs to make films with veteran actors in lead roles!
After reading Anurag’s post where he has mentioned that he is searching for an actor who could play Gabbar Singh in No Smoking. An actor who should be between 50 and 60 years old. Danny was the most natural choice with obvious reasons. and as soon as Danny’s name flashed in mind, I was filled with a thirst to see this amazing actor in a meaningful role. I saw...
