  • Siddharth: You don’t need the World to tell a Story
    The inflow of serious, experimental, low budget films although a trickle right now, could be portentous of a ‘meaningful’ shift in Bollywood film productions. They may not all be money spinners but they can surely show a broader picture to the trade pundits who limit Indian audience’s taste to big budget, song-n-dance capers. Prayas Gupta’s Siddharth:...

After having watched strong>Dasvidaniya, I still stand by that post. I had also assured that I have nothing against the movie but it was a decision of which movie would...

  • Pal Bhar Ke Liye..stuff you thought, but Shashant had other things in mind..
    All right, I am not going to do review here and neither am I going to pontificate on the box office prospects of Dasvidaniya. But did you guys see the different ways an “ordinary” story has been presented to us via film? It is a classic approach of the “silent spectator”, always putting across the intimate world of Amar in simple view points. 1.      ...

  • Pryas Gupta’s The Prisoner keeps Indian flag flying high at Asia Pacific Screen Awards 2008
    Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om expectedly fell by the wayside, in the face of of highly-superior cinema in the competition for Best Feature film at APSA 2008 (Honk Kong auteur Johnnie To’s Sparrow, Turkish Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s Cannes best director award-winning scorcher Three Monkeys and Kazakh stunner Tulpan by Sergei Dvortsevoy), but a small Indian film,...

  • 8/10 is My Rating For Hulla, Because I Was Entertained Throughout
    Why the blazes are people giving 2/2.5 ratings to Hulla? For me, it was an 8/10 movie. Hulla had me and even my NRI buddy laughing from start to finish, and it did so without insulting my intelligence, which is all I bloody ask of a movie. So why the bally hell are critics on their high horses and their ivory towers and their glass houses dishing out merely average ratings...

    Its not everyday that a bunch of filmmakers I like, get together and converse on the medium. For such occasions I always had to depend on film festivals or even take a trip back in time during those glory days of DD. Most such occasion are fruitful when the moderator/interviewer is as well versed or at least someone who can hold his/her own amongst such august company. Imagine,...
