  • 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...

    iView Author: RAGHU (Huntsville,Alabama, U.S.A) Email: r.s.godavarthi@gmail.com Atul Kulkarni and the Savage God 1:1.6 – An Ode to Lost Love (2005) In my earlier review of Milk, I had remarked on the singular experience of movie watching at a theatre.

    iView Author: NIMISH ATRA (Pune, India) Email: hellonimish@yahoo.com Delhi-6 – PFC – Review No. 16 First things first, I saw Delhi-6 twice – It was disappointing at first watch, Got slightly worse the second time.

  • 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...

  • My Delhi-6 Viewing Experience
    iView Author: Saad (Madison, WI, USA) Email: withheld “My Delhi-6 Viewing Experience” T.S. Eliot said in his 1964 graduate dissertation, “The life of a soul does not consist in the contemplation of one consistent world, but in the painful task of unifying (to a greater or lesser extent) jarring and incompatible ones.” And with that quote I would...

  • To Dearest Geeta with Love
    Dearest Geeta, Have started becoming more and more like a protagonist of a ‘feel good’ film. Have mellowed down a little. Cigarettes ? I know that will be your first question. They have gone down from 20@day to 15@day. You, the censor board of India and honorable Mr. Anbumani Ramadoss will be very happy to hear this. It doesn’t look as good as we wanted...
