10 Best Hindi Films of the Noughties
The noughties saw a spurt of films, hitherto unfancied and at times unacknowledged, that dabbed the viewers and the Hindi Film industry (HFI). This decade in Indian films has perhaps been the strongest in terms of ideas, style, narration, and development of new talent. Although it is nothing like La Nouvelle Vague, it surely will find an epochal footing in the history...

Oye Lucky Oye Oye and a beginner’s guide to Post modernism
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! PosterI am the type who simply skips pages in the weblog or skip channels if someone starts discussing modernism and post modernism. I have always held a strong notion that keeping such thoughts in mind were like Rahul Dravid playing an aggressive swipe in the non strikers end while sachin is smashing sixers and boundaries on the other side. They...

DAMfest09 – Dibakar, Oye Lucky! Digital
Global warming has taken its toll even on our beloved film industry. With alarmingly declining green cover and rapidly multiplying population, dancing around the trees and fluttering translucent coloured dupattas in fertile fields is no longer an option for filmmakers. So what do they do? Tough to answer. After all, this is the phase in which Hindi cinema had been stagnating...

The role of restraint in a good screenplay
iView Author: scriptlarva Email: turn360degree@hotmail.com City/Country: New Delhi/ India The role of restraint in a good screenplay Subtlety is a word that we hear often. When we go through our screenplays we often face the question- Should I put that extra line of dialogue just to make it more clear? Should I make the character a little more prototypal so that audience...

Bollywood 2008 My 10
It’s kind of a ritual for critics in the West to pick their favourite 10 films of the year gone by and even here in Bollywood newspapers and news channels are pouncing on the habit. But sadly, most of the papers and channels pick the Top 10 based on box office collections. While that to me is a great barometer to judge the quality of the film, it is not necessarily...

Richa Chaddha, first person (Dolly from Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!)
iView Author: Richa Chaddha On the 26th of November, the cast and crew of OLLO were in Goa for the film’s premiere at IFFI. When we emerged glowing from the houseful cheering hall, we heard. Our premiere to be held the following day was cancelled. Obviously. So for most of us, the film is the semi-delivered child. The head is popping out, but the limbs are still...

Oye Lucky! – Aap hain India ka future
We all work hard for our money. At least some of you do. I don’t believe in guilting people into giving to charity, so I won’t ask you to support good cinema. And I certainly won’t use the trope of paisa vasool; money buys what you want her to buy. She makes the world go around, about that there is no doubt. Tis love that makes this place bearable....

Oye Lucky or The Girls behind the Glass
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! Movie Review Every once in a while, you see a film that leaves you thrilled and exhilarated as you walk out of the theatre. An experience that counters the jaded cynicism that a large portion of filmmaking is prey to. A film that reminds you why you wanted to make films in the first place. The first Wong Kar Wai film I ever saw (Chungking...

Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga!
Nikal ja saamne se nahin to maar dalunga! Thus gentle words of endearment did Paresh Rawal speak to his make up man of eight years on the first morning the beard found his cheeks on the sets of Oye Lucky. The beard was a problem. Paresh Rawal hates putting on a false beard. His skin can’t take it. He can’t talk. He shuts off. He hates growing one even more,...

OYE PROMOTION PROMOTION OYE
Can I risk saying that the part of films I hate most, is promoting it? It’s not about the ego, it’s not about projecting an image, it’s not about being lazy or anything else you might think. The truth is, I love making movies but I just don’t have it in me to sell them. I am an actor not a salesman, but most people seem to think that the two are...

Am I a funny guy or what?
Am I a funny guy or what? My most unsettling experience after the release of Khosla ka Ghosla was seeing the audience laugh. They were laughing at places where Jaideep and I had never intended them to laugh. They were not laughing at the places where we were expecting them to get the bends guffawing. Then they came out sniggering, smiling, giggling – and if it hadn’t...

OLLO Music : Much beyond your average Jugni’s and Billo’s (with streaming teasers)
There are so many reference points for ‘Punjabi’ in films. You tend to go about it stereotypically. Dhaba. Butter Chicken. Lassi. Aloo da paratha. Truck drivers. Jalandhar. Patiala. Phagwada. And so on. The question is, what defines it? The culture, the language, the mannerisms, the way of life… and the music and dance that finds itself in an exhortation...
