……and ye ye this time its for real!!! I know, the fake ones were damn entertaining. Hopefully the real one will not disappoint you.

Here is my latest theory on Ramu. The filmmaker who made Satya and Compnay died long back, most probably during a film shoot. An aspiring but less talented guy who was AD on the same film set, died with Ramu. The AD knew that now there is no way to make his debut and also because the factory closed down ( so no more ADs will turn director), the guy’s ghost got into Ramu’s body. Ramu’s ghost was ofcourse more eager to meet the menakas and urvashis of other world, so he never bothered to check the status of his body. Its no more “directed by RGV” but “ghost directed by RGV”. since its all black screen, one cannot make out the word “ghost”. we …

After years have we seen such a smashing, wonderful, gripping, movie to grace the silver screen. Guru Ghantal Varma (aka GGV) the director has definitely redeemed himself after such beautiful but badly rejected films like GGV ki Aag, NoShabd and Bekar Raj.

After finishing the 90 odd minutes of Contract on a DVD, oztrac walks out for a breather. And VOILA! Across the street is the great Guru Ghantal Varma in beach shorts and ganji (no not a bald woman, but a vest), walking in surf sandals, gracing the streets of Newport Beach, Orange County with Bimbo and BiggerBimbo on his either side, whom one may guess have been offered GGV’s next projects - Thook and Chikoo Raj. Unfortunately his proposed project GGV ki Paani has been temporarily shelved.

ozTrac is a bit apprehensive approaching GGV, knowing his slap and walk away kind of conversations he generally has with the general public …

It is time to do a list. This time, I present to you The Top 10 One Scene Characters. Not really. Just a few of my favorite One Scene Hindi Film characters, that have sorta stuck in me mind. I was meant to write on this a very long time ago. But, you know, how it is. Anyway, a few weeks back I read RK’s article on Naseeruddin Shah’s 3.5 scene in Ardh Satya and that kinda prompt me to finally write about my favorite one scene characters; I just want to highlight those great actors.
In most of the films - those small characters/one scene characters are the most memorable/entertaining scenes. And I am going to start with RajPal Yadav because he has made a successful career out of playing one scene/small characters.
RajPal Yadav has done plenty of films with Ram Gopal Verma …

a larger perspective on Sarkar Raj that brings Ramu’s kind of film-making and the latest syndrome ofthe Bachchans into focus

This man makes movies as if he was making jalebis..ek ke baad ek…His Sarkar Raj releases this weekend. I will surely watch it, no doubt, afterall its a freaking RGV movie, however bad it might be..it still is RGV movie.

While on that note of Aamir getting splendid reviews from Raja Sen of Rediff, i chanced upon this trailer of Phoonk from RGV. Well the trailer says it all. Its about Black Magic. Its starts off with the camera going mighty close to a broomstick, to a woman cooking in the kitchen to a man shaving in his bathroom..and then the shrill…we have seen it all in RGV trailer, but for some odd reason, this one did excite me.

It has all the trademark RGV in it..ajeeb camera angles, the suspense building formula, et al. But, one thing that i liked about this trailer was …
