  • 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...

    iView Author: Akshay Manwani (New Delhi ,India) Email: akshay.manwani [at] gmail.com Paresh Rawal : A sum of many parts As an actor Paresh Rawal’s biography would surely make for an interesting read. From a rank outsider in the film industry, he has come a long way and is now amongst the finest exponents of the acting craft. Indeed, in the last couple of years some...

  • Dhoondte Reh Jaoge- Time for some mindless, harmless fun!!!
    Ok in this time of recession and with a lot of heaviness on our head, one sometimes looks forward to going easy on oneself. So on March 11th while we were all celebrating Holi across the country, I was just feeling a bit low and wanted to unwind myself. Considering that I was celebrating a festival with my whole family after ages, taking the entire family out for a movie...

  • No Smoking : Body and soul are interdependent in this world to function
    No Smoking was rejected and ridiculed by film industry when it was released. But it had material to affect the filmmakers. Last Sunday I got to see Drona and it reminded me of No Smoking. Drona suggests that yes it has affected or has started affecting the film makers. The moment Abhishek Bachchan steps into the imaginary world (some nagar) and meets with a dwarf and...

  • filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend
    Finally, sanity is being restored, or at least an effort is being made to do so, in the 54th Filmfare Awards. I was so glad to see movies like Rock On, OLLO and MMJ winning, and movies like RNBDJ and Dostana taking a backseat. Although the nominations were a little fuzzy[some categories had 5 nominations and some had 6, just to please a few people I guess], but given the...

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Dhool ka Phool => Tamanna – Mr Bhatt, how Pooja Bhatt had got admission in School
    Time was different when Dhool ka Phhool (1959) was released. Films were different, writings were different, lyrics were different and values were different. Dhool ka Phool covers the pathos of the life of a child who was abandoned by his mother because her lover made her pregnant but did/could not marry her. Rajendra Kumar sings a good song Tere Pyar ka Asra Chahta hun...

It should have fast pace, powerful dialogues, performances and excellent technique. Nayak-The Real Hero fulfills all those expectations. It is intense, emotional as well as humorous and fast paced. Shankar has...
