  • Heaven on Earth?
    Perhaps the only Deepa Mehta film which failed to engage me was the “oscar nominated” Water, helped no doubt by its best looking wooden leading pair. But then again, with the safron brigade raising its aggireved voice trembling at the very thought of another Mehta film tarnishing their age old moral code, the cast itself and the location was her second choice.

  • Sarhad ke us paar
    It started with Hassan Jehangir, Salma Agha, then later went on to Ali Haider. Ofcourse, Ustad was always there. But we are not talking about Ustad here.
