  • 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,...

  • Justuju (2002) – My first film
    This seems to be a season of first films. All my PFC friends – from Kartik to Somen to Mainak – are posting their first videos. That inspired me to scan my hard drive and do a lot of converting to present to all of you the first film I made. This was in 2002 my second year in college. We had a workshop by cinematographer Abheek Mukhopadhyay (all Rituparno Ghosh...

    Nutty (Nataraja Subramaniam, the cinematographer of films such as ‘Black Friday’, ‘Parineeta’ and ‘Eklavya’) is on to his second movie as actor.

  • Night out on the sets of Mumbai Meri Jaan
    “I have not seen a single Guru Dutt film!!!!“. As Somen, Kartik and me heard these words we almost had a Zombi moment….I could hear Guru Dutt screaming loud and clear in my ears….. “jaladoo…issee…..phoonk dalo..yeh duniyaa….”. But then that’s how he is frank, chilled out …he is passionate about his film…he does admit Oliver Stone is like his “Khuda”...

  • When PFC-USA went Guerrilla mode
    Last Friday PFC-ites from Washington, San Francisco and Los Angeles flew down to HQ. Amidst loads of beer, tea, DVDs they got hold of a camera and went to Guerrilla filming mode to shoot two short films for the heck and fun of it within the HQ. On my return from work on Saturday evening, I found the HQ – my humble hut, had been converted into a studio. The closet...

  • Yeh hai Nishikant ki – Mumbai Meri Jaan
    About 2 months ago. It was around 2am in Orange County. We all were about to crash into our beds. While Nishikant was swinging between watching American TV, answering my questions on cinema and dozing off, while Anurag was busy on my computer checking his emails and loudly poking jokes at us from the other room. And as Nishikant was talking about how, what, where and why...

  • A promising new hope for Independent film-makers: Digital Cinema by RED Camera!

The above mentioned films used professional high end digital cameras...

  • Video Review – Pray For Me, Brother
    AR Rahman finally releases a music video, something that was long awaited. This song, which was actually released as a single through a mobile phone company, was composed two years ago. Bharatbala, of Maa Tujhe Salaam fame, directs this video with an international crew. This is a fine example of how quality video-making can elevate a song from the stature of great to memorable....

  • Muskuraahat (’92) : Priyadarshan at his best in Hindi
    This is not Priyadarshan’s loud comedy like Hera Pheri, Hangama etc. Its a sobre comedy film with enough romantic and emotional flavour intermingled in  the plot. Revathi is no Sri Devi or Jaya Prada as far as physical beauty is concerned but her spontainity is not less than Sri Devi’s and if you like to watch an younger Revathi in a comedy role or in a comedy...

  • Where we come from
    As we watch the films of today, it is great to take a moment and think about where this medium has evolved from. In the 1890s, the Lumiere brothers were hard at work to make a motion picture camera. Their father was a photographer and working for him, the men were introduced to the medium and the materials. These are the guys who invented the sprocket hole – the holes...

  • Bollywood Mysteries
    Many say that the word ‘Bollywood’ is a cheap imitation of Hollywood and thus we should avoid using the word. I have consciously and specifically chosen the word ‘Bollywood’ in the title of my post as this post is about cheap imitations of the west. A lot has been said about blatant plagiarism and dvd remakes thriving in Indian cinema and hence...

  • Master of the Arts
    “Had I not been a film maker” said this man once, “I would have been a teacher and built a school on the lines of Shantiniketan“. No bout a doubt it, if we were to look at his extensive experimentation with cinematic work and his exhaustive toolbox of skills, including writing, music and painting.
