    Exclusive Review: Sudhir Mishra’s Tera Kya Hoga Johnny
    Quick! What’s common in Johnny Gaddar, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, 99, Sankat City? Besides the fact that they all represent the fast growing Indo-Indie genre, they were all heist movies. Each of these movies made good box office gains together with appealing to the mojo of urban film goers. So, the obvious question is, is heist drama the easy bait and the formula for commercial...

    Faces of MIAAC – the unfathomable, the uncomfortable and the unassuming – united in brilliance.
    Just back from New York’s Indian Film Festival. My what a mixed bag that was! The films screened at the festival will undoubtedly have much written and reviews of all stripes published in the weeks that follow. For me they are united in forging a path and not following one, expressions of bold creativity rather than conformity. Having missed most screenings due to...

Anurag Kashyap speaks about his inspirations, his films, personal life and future. This interview is dated before the news came in that Bombay Velvet may have SRK and Aamir with Danny Boyle being the producer.

    Get A Celebrity To Say Few Things About Your Film….
    Yes, that is what I have been hearing from the time we wanted to run a publicity campaign for Frozen. We wanted to follow a new way of releasing an independent film…very few prints (three to be precise),  platform/staggered release, low cost marketing and blah blah. But one support we wanted was from the media, to write something interesting about the film  and...

    Two Lessons I Learned from “Synecdoche, New York”
    *Warning: Reading this post will spoil the film for you.* Brilliant film. I felt embarassed about my little ideas after watching this film. I’m not going to critique or appreciate the film microscopically for two reasons: one, I feel incapable of it, and two, I took a lot out of the film, so I’d rather talk about that. Please note that I am not always looking...

    Critique of a critique of Kaminey
    Running against the course is one way of seeking and getting attention. And Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr in his ‘A pretentious film bamboozles critics’ (DNA, 25th Aug, 2009) does exactly that. Even if one goes by the view that one is entitled to have one’s own, very individual view that might go against the popular/majority view when it comes to any creative work, Rao...

    Emir Kusturica’s Underground: A nation that ceased to exist
    A quiet Balkan town wakes up to festive sound from a drunken stupor. The ominous brass composition is interspersed with gun shots and money is hurled in the air. The euphoria fades into the sound of war, bombs piercing the harmony of a nation. A man is seen to be having an insipid love making act in a whore house. The woman is hurriedly faking orgasm with moaning.  She...

    Lesser known Bollywood clichés of yore
    I am bored of my posts. Verbosity, forced philosophical innuendos, too much reading into things and the same dour themes. Hell, I needed a break. So I went back in time and read those dog-eared cinema diaries from my childhood. Back in those days, I had no choice but to sit with my family and watch those films of the 70s/80s and the early 90s. It’s only now that...

    Stereotyping in Indian Films- How long will it continue?
    By now its common knowledge that RGV and Vivek Oberoi are re-uniting for Rakta Charitra, a biopic on Paritala Ravi, the dreaded factionalist leader of A.P who was shot down a few years ago. But what is making me look forward to the project is to see if RGV is able to carry off the transition of factional A.P politics and associated violence conveniently into a mainstream...
