    Dreams in the cans- A Filmmaker’s worst nightmare
    A few days ago I was having a conversation over coffee with one of my friends who works in the industry and had just attended the first screenwriting workshop organized by Kamal Haasan’s Rajkmal Films in a tie-up with IIT-Madras. While my friend was sharing his insights about the workshop, he mentioned that apart from the various films screened as part of the course,...

    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...

    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...

    Gulaal: Finding the Mole beneath the Mountain
    Gulaal starts with a rabble-rousing speech from Dukey Bana (Kay Kay Menon). Bana complains of treachery at the hands of the post-Independence Indian governments. The Rajput kings gave up their estates and royalties in support of a united India and in the process lost both power and wealth. And now the same political class that took away their powers is mismanaging the...

    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...

    Gulaal and The Future of Indian Cinema
      I saw Gulaal today in a crumbling, fading, bleeding ramshackle masquerading as a cinema hall….at least from the outside. Gulaal was sandwiched between two contemporary gems “Dil Ko Churaanewaali” and “Maa Kasam Badla Loonga”. (I would have uploaded the posters as well…but wasn’t entirely sure where PFC stands on this…)...

    Why Gulaal is my favorite Anurag Kashyap movie
    I have not seen Paanch and neither have I seen Hanuman. But among the rest, this one easily sits right at the top. But this post is not about No Smoking, Dev D or Black Friday so I am not going to mention them again. Let’s talk about why Gulaal is just so good. (Some spoilers ahead) It’s simply the best written. It has great dialogues, a great story very relevant...

    Gulaal – The Beginning Of The End
    I have just returned after watching this movie and I am spell-bound. The movie was fantastic; a genius is definitely at work and that makes me happy that we can look forward to more such mature movies for a mature audience by a mature film-maker, Anurag Kashyap. I will not call the film multi-layered, because that has become a cliche. Instead, let me just say that the...

    Gulaal Review- Indian cinema is freed.
    I watched Milk and Revolutionary Road over the last weekend. From the first scene to the last, Milk looked like one of those timeless movies which even while you are watching, you know is landmark. I watched Revolutionary Road the very next day. On the basis of personal experiences, the movie was so relatable that it disturbed me immensely. It was such an assault, it took...

    From Tea Estates to Bollywood Dreams
    Raj Singh Chaudhary grew up in some most scenic locations in Darjeeling. His father owned a tea estate over there. Hindi movies did their metro rounds and would be played with a five month delay in the town. But his really first brush with filmdom was when he witnessed the Big B himself shoot for a film called “Barsat Ki Ek Raat” just 20 kms away from his tea...

    Holi And The Unholy
    Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Holi. This is one of the most important festivals for us as it marks the victory of good over evil. Yes, Dussehra/Diwali are not the only festivals celebrating the end of sin/sinners; but Holi also is celebrated for the same reason. If we go back to mythology, Prahlad sat on the lap of Holika, the evil sister of Hiranyakashyap,...

    Gulaal will blow you up!
    Gulaal Movie Review Gulaal is mind blowing. And I am not saying it just because it is fashionable to do so about anything to do with Anurag Kashyap on PFC! Anurag had told the media during his recent Delhi visit (to promote Specials@10 on Sony Entertainment Television) that Gulaal is his “angriest” film. That anger seeps through every frame of the film, even...
