  • What an Idea Sirjee! (Humour-The plight of a script writer)
    I looked at my script again. A bracket here. Maybe the comma should be removed. Ok. Shit .I am fed up. These characters have aged in these five years. They look old and haggard after waiting in these files for so long. The online computer copy might just decide to commit hara-kiri. The CD disk copy will spawn a virus. Anything can happen. Everybody loves the story....

  • Lick and Stick
    “Sankat City will not be released on 26th of June 2009 as planned earlier. Instead, it shall hit the screens one week later, on 3rd of July. See to it that the dates are changed in all promos.” “Promos is easy sir, but what about posters? “What about them?” “They’ve already been printed, truckloads of them, with the old date.” “Dump them in the same...

  • Jai Bollywood Baba
    Couldn’t sleep last night, kept tossing and turning, worrying – “Not even three weeks left for the release of Sankat City… 1200 sheep… the TV promos haven’t yet started… 1201 sheep… there’s no buzz in the media… 1202 sheep… nobody’s talking about the film… 1203 sheep… “ In the morning, I tottered to the washbasin, groggy and tired. When...

  • 50 things I’ve learnt from Ghajini
    iView Author: Uddhav Parab (Mumbai, India) Email: ud.adams [at]gmail[dot]com Content : 50 things I’ve learnt from Ghajini Well, here I go hammering Ghajini, the so- called blockbuster and cine wonder of Bollywood. I hate hypocrites and plagiarists. For those of you don’t know (you should have figured out this, by now) Ghajini was “heavily inspired” by a movie...

  • Watch India’s Best Choreographed Song (seriously!)
    This has been going around for a couple of months. I first saw it on TV. I think it was B4U… (did the programmers there even see what they had bought)… and had walked away. A few weeks later it was on YouTube. And today I was shocked to find that it is one of the most upcoming videos on YouTube. Those of you who get easily swayed to the thought “I too...

  • Hollywood Ripoffs better than the Original!
    Cracked.com has come up with a list of Hollywood Ripoffs (I repeat ripoffs) that are better than the Originals… which is what you new age Bollywood Bloggers term as: It is so bad that it’s REAL GOOD. While going through the list, I was stopped in my tracks by No# 8 which was titled… The Indian Superman – Dariya Dil (released 1988) Apparently Govinda-jee’s...

  • The Torture Series 7 : Ashanti
    Caution: Post contains sexual language and content. It was a time when action had made its entry and was lapped up by one and all. The anger of the masses during the emergency, the entry of a Congress alternative for the first time at the helm of politics – the Janata Party and its subsequent fall out and the return of Indira Gandhi as our PM, the Naxalite movement,...

  • The Torture Series 6: Marte Dam Tak
    Warning: Post contains sexual language and content If Jeetendra was at the helm of starting the 80s fire of cinematic depression, it were people like Mehul Kumar, Eesmayel Shroff, Pranlal Mehta, Mithun Chakraborthy and many others of the wonderful PKTK club, who willingly or unwillingly put ghee in the fire thereby increasing the depression to many many more years. But...

  • The Torture Series 5: Mawaali
    They were the dark ages. Shockingly after an amazing 70s. Creativity was the last thing on everyones mind. No one cared. Hindi cinema was treated as a prostitute by those who had come in to make money. And that was their only objective. Dish out a 3 hour film to make money. Video had made it’s foray into India and almost overnight – video became the villain...

  • The Torture Series 3: Bhavani Junction
    Warning: Post contains strong language and sexual content. Imagine, me entering my hitlerian Dad’s room. Imagine me asking for his permission to go out and see a movie called Bhavani Junction. Then imagine Pitashree’s right hand moving in slow motion, big tight palms connecting to my left cheek sending me flying out of his room in slo mo. Had that incident...

  • The Torture Series 2: Insaaf Main Karoonga
    Warning: Strong Language and Sexual Content. It was 1985. Indira Gandhi had been assassinated about a year ago. I was consistently in a state of depression. No not because of the tragic demise of Mrs. Gandhi, but because of some kind of chemical locha in my head. Unfortunately Munnabhai had not yet come alive. He would 20 years later. That year, Sanjay Dutt had just returned...

  • The Torture Series 1: Mehndi Rang Layegi
    It’s out of control. Everyone is on the streets waving their laptops and desktops, furiously typing in their next blog to kick ass. Every Friday with every new movie. It’s as if all the frustrations and anger and whatever acid they pour in their morning cup of tea, coffee or brewery – all of it comes out in a yellowish to red puke form on the reviews...

  • Contract : An interview with GGV
    After years have we seen such a smashing, wonderful, gripping, movie to grace the silver screen. Guru Ghantal Varma (aka GGV) the director has definitely redeemed himself after such beautiful but badly rejected films like GGV ki Aag, NoShabd and Bekar Raj. After finishing the 90 odd minutes of Contract on a DVD, oztrac walks out for a breather. And VOILA! Across the street...

  • Exclusive: PFC TV interviews RGV
    Recently Sarkar Raj got released. Historically, the Hindi film-goers community were divided into the one’s who think Gunda is an epic and other’s who think Gunda is a larger than life classic. But now a new division has crept into the ranks. People are now divided on whether Sarkar Raj will be the last torture to inflicted by RGV and others who think that RGV’s...
