  • Wake Up Sid: Bombay to Mumbai : A matter of Love
    There are two love stories that progress in the Wake Up Sid. And these two love stories can not be given any first and second order ranking as they both happen simultaneously. When an outsider Aisha (Konkana Sen) comes to the city then it is Bombay for her and like this city Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) is also a stranger but Sid (a born Bombay walla who now lives in Mumbai)...

  • Sankat City: Rats are us.
    I LOVE BOMBAY. Now to forward things, it was an exhilerating, overwhelming & ecstatic DAY (considering that the city never sleeps). It was about 5.00am and yours truly, was at the Mumbai airport, well a li’l outside it. There is the small joint where they sell snacks, cancer & other such addictions. All exhausted, I was there puffing away, where I notice...

  • Slumdog Millionaire – Is there a cultural agenda?
    I have kept quiet on the slumdog debate for a long time because of a lot of conflicting thoughts that I needed to sort out. What started off as a response to Avdesh’s well-articulated comment (#67, 79) on Medha’s post has turned into this current post. When a film goes on the floors, no studio or executive can predict how it will turn out. It is all a gamble....

  • A.R.Rahman: not just Madras, Bombay, or Dilli
    iView Author: J. RAMANAND (Pune, India) Email: quatrainman@gmail.com A.R.Rahman: not just Madras, Bombay, or Dilli No Indian composer has had such pan-Indian success as A.R.Rahman. Forget ‘crossing over’ to H-Land, just being successful all across India is a feat that has escaped most Indian cultural icons (and they’ve tried hard). This is especially...

  • Slumdog Millionaire – Review
    To what lengths would you go to get an autograph from a superstar actor? What all would you be willing to jump to get close, very close – in you face close – to a star that has sold you dream after dream after dream all your life? Jump from a chopper! Fly your family from Bay Area to Chicago and pay tons of money? Swim through a sewer??? Nah… the mentioned...

  • BACKGROUND SCORES IN HINDI MOVIES
    BACKGROUND SCORES IN HINDI MOVIES As hindi movies are full of songs, the music directors and film makers do not concentrate on background music. Hindi movies are not giving as much importance as foreign movies are giving. Somehow trends are changing. Now our technically confident directors and music directors take background score in consideration while planing the scenes. In...

  • MUMBAI STORIES 3 – Last drink!
    It’s been almost three months since I have been in Mumbai. I was called in by Sudhir Mishra to edit a 90 minute international version of his new film, Tera Kya Hoga Johnny! It was a very interesting experience to take a film and reconstruct it in a different way. The Indian version is about 130 minutes long and one could not just throw away 40 minutes of the film. So...
