  • Shatrughan Sinha’s makeover in RGV’s Rakta Charitra
    Shatru-saab and RGV!!! But it will all depend on RGV’s writing team. As is being seen in his last few products, RGV without good writers is no RGV. Fingers crossed

  • RGV’s next WARNING !
    Remember those days a few years back when RGV had a spate of movie lined up? Well the golden period of RGV seems to be back.

Let’s just hope his...

  • Blackbird: Filmi mind @ a play
    I begin this post with a solemn prayer to Lord CinemaIndra that may the producer-exhibitor stand-off get over soon or we cinephiles might soon have to regress and begin to write about stardust awards, saas-bahu soaps or random PFC meets that never happened. So, getting back about what this post was about – BLACKBIRD, a play that I saw today. I had absolutely no...

  • Stereotyping in Indian Films- How long will it continue?
    By now its common knowledge that RGV and Vivek Oberoi are re-uniting for Rakta Charitra, a biopic on Paritala Ravi, the dreaded factionalist leader of A.P who was shot down a few years ago. But what is making me look forward to the project is to see if RGV is able to carry off the transition of factional A.P politics and associated violence conveniently into a mainstream...

    iView Author: Shreyansh Shukla (Mumbai, India) Email: neel219[at]gmail[dot]com Tryst with Cinema As the name suggests, this is a story about transition, about self-realization, about what to do and what not to do in life and after life. Also the Title says so many things, about life coming a full circle, may be a vicious circle. Mard was the first movie I saw in theatre,...

  • In-film advertising. Haan ya Na?
    It’s a B-E-A-U-tiful Saturday evening & alas I am working. Clients are exploiting recession the most & twisting it in all ways possible to squeeze their ad agencies dry.

  • 2008: A lengthy year-end roundup of the films that were
    It has been a crazy year at the movies. While Bollywood has mostly found it tough to spring any surprise, in the real sense, and there are hardly any films which impressed me out of the league (when compared to the last year – examples are aplenty, it had films either so good which made one shout from the rooftop or films that made you cringe and rethink about spending...
