    Wake Up Sid: Bombay to Mumbai : A matter of Love
    There are two love stories that progress in the Wake Up Sid. And these two love stories can not be given any first and second order ranking as they both happen simultaneously. When an outsider Aisha (Konkana Sen) comes to the city then it is Bombay for her and like this city Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) is also a stranger but Sid (a born Bombay walla who now lives in Mumbai)...

    Frozen: The Cold Colours of Life
    Sneaking by that bylane, those deep dark eyes having so much to convey, the starkling innocence awaiting corruption, and that naïve beauty, it all was innocently real, it had nothing false about it, it was innocence packed in a plain package of innocence. The name of the movie instantly conjured up images of either awe, shock, magic and ironically pain, bondage and obviously...

    Slumdog Millionaire – Is there a cultural agenda?
    I have kept quiet on the slumdog debate for a long time because of a lot of conflicting thoughts that I needed to sort out. What started off as a response to Avdesh’s well-articulated comment (#67, 79) on Medha’s post has turned into this current post. When a film goes on the floors, no studio or executive can predict how it will turn out. It is all a gamble....

    12 hours of horror
    Michael Pollock with his wife were trapped in the hotel when the terrorists struck. In an interview with Charlie Rose, Michael gives an inside view of the terror, bravery and courage that unfolded… The terrorists repeatedly slammed against our door.

    Spirit, Safety, and Selflessness – We are to blame!
    We’ve been hit. And we’ve been hit hard. Physically, emotionally, mentally. The news channels run tag lines like “Mumbai Liberated” and “Mumbai Fights Back”. But have we really liberated ourselves yet? Are we fighting back? Will we dine again at a cafe or 5-star hotel without shuddering at the slightest noise of a door shutting? “Spirit...

    I’m mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore!
    I’m sick and tired of being resilient, of living my life like the blood of my brethren spilt on the streets targeted by a bomb or a bullet will not make me stop my life! It’s time to press the brakes NOW! The whole world watches in horror as my city is held hostage for 60 hours as I write this. We have our brave men dying on the first day because they are fighting...

    Terror in Mumbai.
    It was night around 10:30, i had finished watching the cricket match, and was just switching channels, and then i saw the news item. At first it was like a shootout at Taj Heritage, and then as the reports started to filter in, the magnitude of the terror became more apparent to me. I simply could not say “Oh no, not again” and then just switch channels....

    MUMBAI STORIES 3 – Last drink!
    It’s been almost three months since I have been in Mumbai. I was called in by Sudhir Mishra to edit a 90 minute international version of his new film, Tera Kya Hoga Johnny! It was a very interesting experience to take a film and reconstruct it in a different way. The Indian version is about 130 minutes long and one could not just throw away 40 minutes of the film. So...

    MUMBAI STORIES 1 – Mango Vodkatini
    I was standing at the bar of a famous night spot in Mumbai sipping at Mango Vodkatini watching the young and old, bold and the beautiful, the rich and the famous. So are you back in India? said a suave looking man with greying hair. I recognised him like I recognise most of the rich and famous in Mumbai. I knew all these guys when they weren’t so rich and famous...
