Welcome to the world of Coens

Well how does one call a movie big? Well it can be due to the budget of the movie or it can depend on the number & names of the stars associated apart from the director etc. For all those who’ve seen & admired SRK’s act of getting a lot of the bollywood celebs in a song for ” Om Shanti Om” , then let me tell you that Malayalam Cinema has pushed the envelope even further. Some time in 2007 it was decided by AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) that they needed to generate funds for their activities.

Entered Dileep, one of the leading Malayalam actors who suggested that they make a movie with the best of the talent available. Dileep …

Kalyanji Anandji- Dum Dum Diga Diga
———————————————————–

When doing one of those numerous Antakshari jam sessions with my friends to kill time, whenever we got the letter ‘Ďa’ on cue the first song would be “Ďum Ďum Diga Diga, Mausam Bheega Bheega”.
Your heartbroken in love, and no better song to capture the mood than “Chandi ki Deewar Na Thodi”.
No marriage in North India would be complete without the marriage band playing “Meri Pyaari Behaniya, Banegi Dulhaniya”.
Think of the disco craze in the 1980’s and the first two songs that immediately pop up in your mind would be ” Aap Jaisa Koi” and “Laila O Laila”.
Or what about the ode to …

If a team of Raj Khosla, Dev Anand, Jal Mistry, Rajindra Singh Bedi decides to make a film then its understood that direction will give us many thrilling moments to watch in the film and Cinematography will be of top quality. Rajindra Bedi’s story, inspite of having some inspirations from O Henry’s short story A Double Dyed Deceiver becomes unconventional when Bedi inserts incestuous angle in the plot and it was certainly a shocking theme for those days hindi cinema.

Dev Anand provides that valuable input to the character which is required to uplift this kind of story of crime, punishment and atonement.

Suchitra Sen produces that persona and performance which may compel Dev Anand’s character to go against social norms.

On surface it has incestuous angle but no it is not The Cement Garden and It does not even take route of Desire Under …

A large number of people are there who always shout as soon as they get a chance that India is the land of Khajuraho Temples and these people treat these temples as the places depicting sexual behaviour of mankind. Many of them equate Khajuraho temples with the erotic shops available elsewhere. If it is so then why these statues were carved on the outer walls of the temples and why they have not found place inside the main building or in Garbhagrahas of temples? An erotic shop keeps alluring things in the glass window and these things work as an advertisement and a pulling factor to sell more such things lying inside the shop.

If erotica was the subject of Khajuraho’s temples then why they have not been selling concept of sex inside also? Many of these people …

Just to remember Sanjeev Kumar and to celebrate his 70th birth anniversary.
——————–
Who does not know that Sanjeev Kumar was a very good actor? Who does not admit that he was a versatile actor?

He did many films which could be classified as mile stones in their respective genres. He played very tough roles with a competent ease. Nothing looked tough once he accepted a role. He made it so easy that role seemed tailor made for him. Exception can be his role of Maznu in Love and God but that film took almost ages in completion and it can/should not be taken as an example.

Films, where he has played deftly a strong character, are many and films, came out from his union with Gulzaar saab, are well known and praised alike both by critics and audiences but apart from these highly acclaimed films he has done many light and regular …

There is a little difference between a good person and a person with grey charateristics and exchange between two kind of natures of people can take place very easily with little management. Though they are seen and understood as good men but several times in their life majority of people enter in to this grey shed, though sometime to fulfil their temporary desires, which they can not suppress anymore for the sake of their inherent ideal nature.

CSB?s Amol Palekar could become a man with some villainous characteristics but director shows masterly ability to maintain a fine balance and Amol Palekar comes out clean as a hero else plot had that slippery ground that his character could fall down and then it was not possible for him to remain as Mr White.

CSB reveals difference between genuine person and hunters.
