  • Prasoon Joshi : a ‘Gulzar’ in the making?
    I have been at this post for quite a while now. But yesterday when I chanced upon this news piece that Prasoon Joshi was given the Shailendra award, I was spurred on to complete the post. When I look around at all the lyrical mockery that’s happening and all the poetical gimmickry, I wonder what will be the fate of lyrics in cinema, going ahead. Its not a very happy...

  • Music: Aloo Chaat, Kal Kissne Dekha & Sikandar
    Dev D, Delhi-6, Rahman’s Connections, Sivamani’s Maahaleela, Gulaal, 13B (I CANNOT get over Aasmaan Odh Kar!!!)…we’ve had a couple of very nice OSTs and private albums come out over the last few months. Time to add Aloo Chaat, Sikandar and Kal Kissne Dekhaa to that list! No, no—these three OSTs are not necessarily music-revolution-instigating....

  • A.R.Rehman!!! Jai Ho!! – 2
    I shall pick from where Ratnakar left off, in his fantastic tribute to AR Rahman. I had actually started writing this post much earlier, the day after the Oscar ceremony, but when I found that such a beautiful tribute was already adorned to the Mozart from Madras, I changed track and decided to write a sequel starting from post-2001 phase. So, Lagaan was out and Rahman...

  • A Collection of Thoughts on Delhi-6
    (This post contains spoilers. You’ve been warned. Baaki aap ki marzi :-)) I normally stay far, far away from writing movie reviews. It just isn’t my forte. However, after seeing Delhi-6 on Saturday and then reading most of the reviews of Delhi-6 posted on the Internet, I feel compelled to write this post, since many of the reviews out there ignored a lot of...

  • Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman & Gali-Muhalla
    This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that...

  • What are you listening to?
    That’s what my mother asked me over phone few days back which made me realize that it was almost 5 months into 2008 and I was still playing songs from No Smoking, TZP, Life in a Metro etc. along with the regular old classics. The only song from 2008 in my playlist was ‘khwaja mere khwaja’ from JA. So I decided to update myself and now that I look around...
