  • Fubtitling of Kaminey
    Yesterday while flipping channels my attention was drawn to a movie being shown on star movies. I don’t know what movie was it and I didn’t even watch it for more than 10 minutes. What caught my attention was the subtitles being displayed. Somehow I felt that the subtitles weren’t doing justice to the actual scene. In movies it’s not just the literal...

  • K K K Kiran Se Kaminey Tak

It seems Aaj Kal love may not be enough..To be different in Hindi Cinema the challenge is...

  • An Indian “Darshak”, Kaminey and Critics
    Today I watched Kaminey for the Fixfth time. I am not trying to give another review of the movie because I don’t consider myself good enough to review any movie. That is why I could not write here before this. For the past two years I wanted to write  but I did not do that. But I can’t stop myself anymore. Kaminey is not a milestone in Indian cinema but it is something....

  • Critique of a critique of Kaminey
    Running against the course is one way of seeking and getting attention. And Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr in his ‘A pretentious film bamboozles critics’ (DNA, 25th Aug, 2009) does exactly that. Even if one goes by the view that one is entitled to have one’s own, very individual view that might go against the popular/majority view when it comes to any creative work, Rao...

  • Kaminey: A Ballad Darkly
    Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapoor and the rainbow For me there will be always a difference in experience between watching a film on big screen, on the immediate weekend after its release compared to watching it after reading many reviews, seeing it on DVD. Because of my lack of knowledge, experience and panache to observe the nuances and minutiae of this medium of art and...

  • Two Conversations, One ride and the Journey with Cinema
    I would rather struggle with film than struggling with other things…. – Woody Allen to Jean-Luc Godard in their conversation. (Meeting WA)   I couldnt have imagined a better way to start the weekend. Now before i start saying, writing or quoting things, I know that there are a lot of my friends working in television and on reading this they would love to...

  • Arriving at Originality
    Ratiocination While watching Kaminey, I arrived at a flawed definition of originality. Any work that can inspire an imitation is original. Two corollaries follow: 1. Any work that doesn’t inspire imitation isn’t original 2. It is possible for an imitated work to inspire another imitation, in which case, it becomes original Yes, I am in a mathematical state of mind...

  • KAMINEY:The Year of Being Bad
    “To, Ezra Pound, the Better Craftsman” — T.S. Eliot in his dedication in his book of verse The Wasteland. Anurag Kashyap did it in February earlier this year with Dev.D and now this August, Hindi cinema gets meaner with Kaminey.  This is not a review of the film. Enough has been written about Kaminey in the past week. India is now sharply divided between those...

  • Kaminey – Kaminey indeed but not Kaminey Enough
    Kaminey posterIt can be argued that the real test of talent of a good director lie not in his story but in its telling. In this sense, s/he would be like those classical bards who invented not the stories (and almost always borrowed from the existing mythologies) but the forms and styles to put them in. Indeed that’s how good and successful adaptations have earned a...

  • Kaminey: Just Dhan Te Na!
    Vishal Bhardwaj takes one of the most popular themes of Bollywood – that of identical twins – and mixes with another of the most popular themes – that of clash of ideals between brothers – and mashes it with some of the commonest Bollywood elements – corrupt policemen, criminals-aspiring-to-be-politicians, drug runners and mafia who would stop at nothing...

  • Dhan Te Nan! Kaminey: Music Review
    So way back in February I went to see Delhi-6 and the first thing I see is the trailer of Kaminey with that mind-blowing Dhan Te Nan song in the background. Called my cousin and here went our conversation: “Oh. My. GOD! I just saw this awesome trailer. Oh my god! Kyaa mast song hai!! Dhan Te Nan!” “Achaa ji?” “Arrey haan! Check YouTube naa!” “Kyaa type...

  • Kaminey ka Karz?
    Maybe I’m seeing too much into it, but looks like a ‘homage’ to me The ‘Karz’ image is actually a bit off-colour; my folks have an LP of it and the colours are also almost exactly the same… #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width:...

  • Movies to look forward for in 2009
    2009 has started on a sluggish note as far as the Hindi film industry is concerned. After 2 months we have yet to come across a certified hit. The mega hyped up movie of January, Chandni Chowk to China failed like one of those spurious Chinese products and didn’t make an impact at the box office. Raaz2, Dev.D and to a certain extent Luck By Chance & Delhi 6...
