    Yaari Hai Imaan Mera, Yaar Meri Zindagi- Friendship as depicted in Bollywood Films
    On behalf of Ashwin I dedicate this post to Vrushali, who according to Ashwin is the best friend in the world. Friendship is an integral part of our emotions and friends occupy an important part of our lives. In some cases friends often are given the same status as that of family members when it comes to certain crunch situations. For someone who has been brought up over...

    The Curious Case Of Shilpa Shetty
    Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don’t have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can. - Buck Owens Yesterday I was seeing a news bulletin about Shilpa Shetty wishing to meet Jade Goody, and she was telling the media...

    Gulaal : Why It Will Not Do Well
    I watched Gulaal on the very first day it released and I wrote a review as well. I put-up one of the first reviews of the movie on PFC, which was not my reaction or some heartfelt writing but just the basic plot-points and the characterisation. The review can be found here. I received quite a few feedbacks stating that I gave away too much, though I would not like to believe...

    Writing a jhakaas scene
    Most amateur, and many professional screenplays are dull, Dull, DULL! Characters state the obvious, don’t really do anything but spout exposition, and “exchange soulful looks,” “have a look of great determination,” or my favorite, “sea of emotions washes across his face – denial, sadness, anger, resignation (can’t remember...

    filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend
    Finally, sanity is being restored, or at least an effort is being made to do so, in the 54th Filmfare Awards. I was so glad to see movies like Rock On, OLLO and MMJ winning, and movies like RNBDJ and Dostana taking a backseat. Although the nominations were a little fuzzy[some categories had 5 nominations and some had 6, just to please a few people I guess], but given the...

    Sundaram Need Not Be Satyam
    Lunch kills half of Paris, supper the other half..That’s what Montesquieu said..After watching CCTC I feel like saying that Chandni Chowk killed the movie and China buried it.. Or it was killed in Chandni Chowk and eventually buried in China or something to that effect..All said and done not a very good start to the New Year Box-Office..But there is hope that is...

    Bollywood 2008 My 10
    It’s kind of a ritual for critics in the West to pick their favourite 10 films of the year gone by and even here in Bollywood newspapers and news channels are pouncing on the habit. But sadly, most of the papers and channels pick the Top 10 based on box office collections. While that to me is a great barometer to judge the quality of the film, it is not necessarily...

    Why Dostana and not Dasvidaniya !
    iView Author: crazyrals (Bangalore,India) Email: crazyrals [at] gmail.com This post is neither a review nor a comparison between the two movies. It just so happens that these two ‘D’ movies released in the same week and on the same day. I am just putting down a few observations and points of why I watched Dostana in a multiplex and not Dasvidaniya. Dasvidaniya...

    Why Is Dostana Still Bothering Me?
    Karan Johar recently said in an interview to a city daily that he pushed the envelope with Kabhi Alvida; he wants to tear it with Dostana. This isn’t the first time he has expressed a desire to break from his own moulds. Often in interviews he is seen applauding ‘good’ cinema, and if you indulge in a bit of reading between the lines, aspiring to make...

    Shatrughan Sinha : Namesake of Self Confidence, Style and Wit !
    Shatrughan Sinha’s biography will be having chapters on his acting career, political career, his real life incidences and his relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. Late Raaj Kumar and Shatrughan Sinha can be said as two truly stylish hindi film stars whose “I don’t care” attitude was not seen with hostility among the film fraternity. Audience loved their cynical...
