  • KarZZZZZZZZ – Did I Miss a ‘Z’?
    So, Himesh Reshammaiya, is back, but fortunately or unfortunately, not with a new soundtrack, but stills of his second film KarZZZZZZZZZ – Did I Miss a ‘Z’? Now I had written a piece on him when I started blogging on passionforcinema.com. I had prayed that he should stop singing and should not enter into acting bijneess, but he is back to…. Why...

  • Seminci – International Film Festival
    Seminci is an International Film Festival held in the Spanish city of Valladolid. It was its 52nd edition this year, and once again I tried to watch as many films as possible. There is so much going on during these ten days, that it is impossible to attend everything, even though there are several screenings for the films. The fact that the six cinemas showing the films...

  • Browntown – Part 2: Trailer + NY premiere
    Continued from Part 1… Having bagged the role, it was now time for me to flesh out the character. The producers and the director had already decided on the look for Ravichandran – they wanted the quintessential elements of a Kollywood hero: the big hair, the mustache, the paunch, the south yindian yenglish accent. If Mohanlal had been in their budget, he...

  • PFC Bombay Meets Manorama Six Feet Under… in pictures
    A rare occasion where many from PFC Bombay turned up for the premiere of Manorama Six Feet under. Vasan must have slumped and fallen asleep on his puter since his email contained only pictures and a short message “Done”… Some of the gang ended up at Phoenixnu’s place and are probably still snoring when this one gets published… the event in...

  • Chak de fatheh Mumbai Meri Jaan
    Mumbai Meri Jaan’s (MMJ) latest schedule just started. Ashish Shukla and I were keen on visiting the sets. The shoot was suppose to start at 9:00 am in a studio, but was delayed till 2:00 pm, as the unit had to complete the balance outdoor scenes from yesterday. Shooting outdoors is indeed a challenging task. With little control over the elements any amount of planning...

  • Why am I making Khoya Khoya Chand?
    Why am i making Khoya Khoya Chand? Because the story comes to you. You can’t rationalize everything. You think that making a film about two individuals caught in the mad world of movies, where there are contradictory aspirations, where there are all these lures of popularity and people grappling with that and also their personal situation is interesting. And we...

  • When Nutty hit the dance floor
    I was always sure about cinematographer Nutty’s acting abilities, and thought he acquitted himself quite fairly in his debut venture, “Naalai.” But I was always curious to find out if he could dance as well too; in his first film, he had no such scenes as the character he played sported a broken leg for most part of the movie. So the invitation from...

  • The Janus-faced Nutty
    Nutty (Nataraja Subramaniam, the cinematographer of films such as ‘Black Friday’, ‘Parineeta’ and ‘Eklavya’) is on to his second movie as actor. He has been enjoying the best of both worlds: he is an acclaimed cameraman in Mumbai and is on his way to establishing himself as an actor in Tamil films. His first film as an actor, ‘Naalai’ (Tomorrow), was released...

  • 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”...

  • 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...

  • Bhram : Blogging from Madh Island
    It took two days to erect larger than life sets on a beach in front of a bungalow in secluded Madh Island. The call time was 7:00pm and went on till the sunrise. It was an elite party set. It required tons of light to illuminate it. Even the coconut trees in the background were lit separately. 30-40 junior artists were called to represent socialites. As the night grew...

  • From the sets of Bhram
    The outsiders think of film industry as extremely risky, where the Stars make billions, while the others are left poor. There are so many money making businesses/professions involved other than acting or directing. One of them is renting out the gadgets used in the films in art department. On the sets of ‘Brahm’ there was a plasma TV, which costed 7000rs/day, a music...
