    Blackbird: Filmi mind @ a play
    I begin this post with a solemn prayer to Lord CinemaIndra that may the producer-exhibitor stand-off get over soon or we cinephiles might soon have to regress and begin to write about stardust awards, saas-bahu soaps or random PFC meets that never happened. So, getting back about what this post was about – BLACKBIRD, a play that I saw today. I had absolutely no...

    I had salad for dinner!
    No I didn’t. May be i would, if I was too bloody drunk or if the salad had alcohol in it. So this post is about Jab We Met. No, not the movie, when I met Oz Bhai. May be this post should have been on my personal blog, but as I don’t have any & also as it has some relevance here in PFC, I take this liberty of sharing what happened here in Bangalore, Jab...

    Musings on a film-maker’s journey
    Not that I am even quarter a film-maker, what triggered this post are some of my personal experiences & an interview I saw of Naseeruddin Shah on TV, which was a Chinese cracker to say the least. What man! what balls!!! Oops, before I take off on Naseer saab’s legend (it deserves a long exclusive post) let me stick to what I wanted to share. In the interview...

    Love Story 1942 – bak to da future???
    Past, present & future… some random musings of a filmi. It was long back, while I was in high skool, in a small town, very shy, silent & introvert. Not any more, but what the heck. Tax Free, for us, then was a huge incentive for watching films in a cinema hall. 1942 A Love Story was exempted from taxes & that allowed us (my & my kuzins) the liberty...

    Dev.D marketing – by chance or choice
    How cute....Movie marketing has been a highly talked about subject here at PFC and has evoked a wide range of sentiments. This post is about that, vis-a-vis Dev.D, a movie that many of us are looking forward to, for various personal reasons. My primary reason is to see what happens to Dev.D after he glugs almost a bottle of vodka & turns up at Paro’s baraat....

    Aisa bhi hota hai (Part I)
    Disklaimer: Long post. Read at your own peril. Wink. Roughly an year after I became a PFC regular, I got an email. The mail was from the author of a post that I had commented upon. I was hyper thrilled and all that. For sake of security (mine) I won’t divulge who it was, but that’s not the point anyways. After exchanging a few emails, the ice broke and the...

    Kompromise kaun nahi karta?
    It was late last night, I was with a filmi, gettin drunk & talking films (as usual… yawn). The waiter was taking the last order. Fellow filmi barked “1 KF Strong, 1 KF Diet”. Waiter says “KF Diet illa saaaar” (no KF Diet). I chide him to ask for a KF Premium and let it go. I followed this with the “kompromise kaun nahi karta?”...

    Song-struck I went in…
    It has happened to us filmis before. Many a times. Dumbstruck by a song or two we’ve walked into the CineMandir & came back cheated. It happens to me very frequently. More often than not, the culprit is the Sultan of Sell Out Films – Vishesh Films. They have the knack of grabbing their audience by their musik (usually addressed to the large number of members...

    Sell Out Film – Some musings…
    This is my first post as an official member of the PCF Authors’ Klub. Dunno how much weight it holds, but being who I am, it makes me feel like some friggin descendent of the Chopra clan. I am elated would be an understatement, but I will save those sentiments for my beer buddy. OK, now getting to the point, I spent most of my working day trying to hear the nuggets...
