  • Bangalore Screenwriting Workshop
    It all started when I couldn’t attend a workshop due to personal reasons. A wonderful experience I missed, which could have added a lot to my learning curve. And then I learnt that I wasn’t the only one, there were many more like me who couldn’t attend the workshop due to various reasons like other commitments or not getting selected/listed etc. Then the idea of...

  • Oye Lucky Oye Oye and a beginner’s guide to Post modernism
    Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! PosterI am the type who simply skips pages in the weblog or skip channels if someone starts discussing modernism and post modernism. I have always held a strong notion that keeping such thoughts in mind were like Rahul Dravid playing an aggressive swipe in the non strikers end while sachin is smashing sixers and boundaries on the other side. They...

  • DAMfest09 – Dibakar, Oye Lucky! Digital
    Global warming has taken its toll even on our beloved film industry. With alarmingly declining green cover and rapidly multiplying population, dancing around the trees and fluttering translucent coloured dupattas in fertile fields is no longer an option for filmmakers. So what do they do? Tough to answer. After all, this is the phase in which Hindi cinema had been stagnating...

  • Indian Cinema is feeling Lucky.
    Edit Post: I didn’t want to write on this movie, as a lot had already been said and discussed here. But, it was hard to resist myself. Yes. The times are surely changing. And for the better. Dibakar Banerjee’s new offering sweeps you off your feet. First of all, Oye Lucky.. is not a comedy in its entirety, it is a fantastic take on the present society, people’s hollowness,...

  • Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga!
    Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga! Thus gentle words of endearment did Paresh Rawal speak to his make up man of eight years on the first morning the beard found his cheeks on the sets of Oye Lucky. The beard was a problem. Paresh Rawal hates putting on a false beard. His skin can’t take it. He can’t talk. He shuts off. He hates growing one even more,...

  • OYE PROMOTION PROMOTION OYE
    Can I risk saying that the part of films I hate most, is promoting it? It’s not about the ego, it’s not about projecting an image, it’s not about being lazy or anything else you might think. The truth is, I love making movies but I just don’t have it in me to sell them. I am an actor not a salesman, but most people seem to think that the two are...

  • Am I a funny guy or what?
    Am I a funny guy or what? My most unsettling experience after the release of Khosla ka Ghosla was seeing the audience laugh. They were laughing at places where Jaideep and I had never intended them to laugh. They were not laughing at the places where we were expecting them to get the bends guffawing. Then they came out sniggering, smiling, giggling – and if it hadn’t...

  • Khosla Ka Ghosla : Hrishi Daian cinema fried with a heist
    We love to watch the cheating designed by Robert Redford and Paul Newman against Robert Shaw in The Sting, where they establish a false set up where Robert Shaw could be and would be conned. This is intriguing, interesting and thrilling to watch it and it remains interesting even during the repetitive watch also when we know in no uncertain terms what is going to happen...
