    Fakir of Venice: Good Short – Yes! Terrible Feature Film
    You have the budget to shoot in the most picturesque of locations in Venice, Ladakh and Benares, you have big name acting talent and then you have that all essential novelty in the script with a title on the front page that reads “Fakir of Venice”. Then you go about shooting, but fail to capitalize on the acting talent and you end up wearing off the novelty...

    Wake up Sid is my kinda movie (not a review)
    Wake up Sid is my kinda movie. Only if at the end Sid would have told Aisha “You had me at your first e-mail”, this is the movie which I would have made. I was reluctant to write anything about this film, because I FELT the movie as it was and I was sure I wouldn’t be able to articulate my love for this movie truthfully. And then I also realized that analyzing this...

    The Requiem Or the Dream ?
    “What man of you, having an hundred sheep if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?” Luke 15:4 Whether it’s Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” or “The Zahir“, the recurrent dream, the pursuit of a goal has been a winner’s...

    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...

    Luck By Chance – A Tautology
    Francis Voltaire has this famous quote to his credit: Chance is a word devoid of sense, nothing can exist without a cause. I too believe in it, quite strongly. In fact, the tautology has driven me to write this post. The title of the movie is a tautology and so is the content. Zoya Akhtar has used the word Luck as well as By Chance, both meaning almost the same. Zoya,...

    Luck by Chance: Someone has Made Good Use of it!
    The moment that best explains the core of Luck by Chance comes from the Karan Johar character (played by Karan Johar!) – explaining how first timers get to have a go at a career and life in Bollywood. He counsels how when established stars-actors like Zafar (Hrithik Roshan) refuse a role they think goes against their popular ‘image’, the role travels...

    Luck By Chance: Moments and reactions
    I avoid writing about films which every other person is writing about and voicing the same opinion as mine but what the heck! its been a one long long time since I saw a film like this. A film that I liked from first frame to the last. I think the last hindi movie that I liked was OLLO and before that? I don’t remember! Certainly nothing last year. I am not doing...

    THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY AND THE SHAMEFUL OF 2008
    A very late list but nonetheless here is what I think of the films released in 2008. The GOOD ONES: No. 1. No film qualifies. 2. No film qualifies. 3. Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye!: With a daisy fresh treatment of urban working class people and city wannabes, Dibakar Banerjee’s Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye! tops my year’s list. The film packed with Delhi eccentricities and...

    Proposal of the month _ KOKO Marry me OR Recco of the Month_ Luck By Chance!!!
    I am gonna keep this concise and precise. I have no ‘ichcha’ to spoil your fun and as Anurag and Vasan before me, I too will give you a juSHT a reaction rather than a ‘review’.

    LUCK BY CHANCE : A Film lost in Caricature, Almost.
    “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.”- Oprah Winfrey Opportunity, something almost a million….err no make it a zillion people comes looking for! Slogging it out in small dingy rooms, sitting on the floor listening to self proclaimed acting gurus giving lectures on subtleness and what not, saving up cash for ages for that one coveted...

    Luck By Chance: Will it make Farhan the new-age cinema’s star actor?
    Hi Anurag (Kashyap). You are a scream in Luck By Chance, as the ‘institute’ pass out who is asked to write Bollywood scripts out of Hollywood DVDs. But no, I cannot agree with your assessment elsewhere on passionforcinema that Zoya Akhtar’s is probably the best-ever debut venture you have ever seen, even better than her brother Farhan Akhtar’s Dil...

    Not just – Luck By Chance
    While the rest of the world and its kuzin have been busy going gaga about the emosanal atyachar inflikted by masakkali matakkali, one film that has held me dumbstruck is the debut venture of Zoya Akhtar – Luck By Chance (LBC). A venture that looks so real, so honest & so heart wrenching. A stark kontrast to OSO… what Farah Khan did with her spoof, this...
