    My Top 11 Hindi Films of 2009
    I thought there would be a deluge of year-end top-10 posts on PFC, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, so I hereby take the plunge, fully aware that there’ll be lots of agreement and probably even more disagreement and fingers pointed at my taste and sensibilities. (“How can you like a manipulative film like 3 Idiots?” “You liked Delhi 6? It was so preachy...

    2009: Band Baj Gaya Music Ka
    Co-written by Tushar Shukla and Amanda Sodhi. Okay, so there were about 150 + OSTs released in 2009 and maybe 1-2 dozen private albums, too. We ended up going through the list and realized just a handful of OSTs and private albums had enough replay value…Sach mei…Band baj gaya music kaa iss saal. But we find it funny at times. No, not the years passing by, that is...

    Prasoon Joshi : a ‘Gulzar’ in the making?
    I have been at this post for quite a while now. But yesterday when I chanced upon this news piece that Prasoon Joshi was given the Shailendra award, I was spurred on to complete the post. When I look around at all the lyrical mockery that’s happening and all the poetical gimmickry, I wonder what will be the fate of lyrics in cinema, going ahead. Its not a very happy...

    Indian Cinema for a Global Audience?
    Following Bobby Bedi’s Facebook post of “The kind of Indian film the world would like to see” three of us friends got into a late night discussion (over pakoras and some left-over wine) of just what kind of Indian movie will be accepted the world over. I thought our movies were being eagerly awaited and watched in a big part of the world anyways – some movies were...

    How risky is Film Making in India today?
    At the very outset I would like to make a couple of things very clear – this is not a critique on any particular kind of movie or personality and I’m not a film maker, at least not yet. So what exactly is on my mind & what am I trying to say? Well for starters what I need to impress upon is that cinema at the end of day in spite of being an art form, still has...

    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...

    A Collection of Thoughts on Delhi-6
    (This post contains spoilers. You’ve been warned. Baaki aap ki marzi :-)) I normally stay far, far away from writing movie reviews. It just isn’t my forte. However, after seeing Delhi-6 on Saturday and then reading most of the reviews of Delhi-6 posted on the Internet, I feel compelled to write this post, since many of the reviews out there ignored a lot of...

    Delhi 6 Review – I Loved It; And Review of the “Story nahi thi” Concept
    Okay, first off, I find this whole business of checking out reviews and critics’ star ratings in order to decide whether to watch a movie or not really, extremely, highly silly. My taste may differ vastly from a critic’s, so why on earth should I bother? I may like one particular film the same as a critic and then may disagree thoroughly about another film....

    There is something about Delhi 6…
    Why do we love Ramayan love so much? Of all the factors that people can possibly come forward with, I’ve a relatively simple answer. We love Ramayana because of Ravan. Because, he distinctly draws that line. He writes it on the wall and declares which side he is standing. Now, that makes our job much more simple of where do we want to position ourselves. We need...

    Delhi 6: Postcode for Simple Nostalgia and Messages
    Basking in the success of Rang De Basanti (RDB), Rakesh Omprakash Mehra decided to indulge in some nostalgia. Great films have come out of nostalgia, and Delhi with its old world charm (imagined and real), invites one to explore its narrow lanes that carry quaint names, to seek stories hiding behind high walls and close-set windows, and to regret the loss of a way of life...

    My heart did sank/drop.. unexpectedly, when I first saw the Masakali promo. I didn’t have any expectation about soundtrack, but I knew A R Rahman would go one better than previous. He always does. That is only expectation I have from an A R Rahman’s soundtrack. And the promo did came out from no where; it was unexpected. First, it was beauty of the song, that...
