Rishi Kapoor: Won from the heart
Believe me, no one quite compares to him. Rishi Kapoor aka Chintu is not just one of those phoenix from the ashes. He has done it without flapping his wings aggressively. He’s tossed out performances of the vintage RK calibre, with the delightful cheesy producer turn in Luck by Chance and as the failed-in-romance Sardarji in Love Aaj Kal. He ventured out into tiny-budget...

And yeah our very own PFC...

and Pran : the numero uno villain deserves a Dada Saheb Phalke award
Pran, a very intelligent and fine actor, brought maximum variety to the villainous characters in hindi cinema. In terms of variety no other actor, who has ever played villainous characters in hindi films, could compete with Pran. Pran and Shatrughan Sinha remain two villains of Hindi cinema who were applauded when they returned to a negative character after many years...

APKGK : Hasna Zaroori hai in this Love Story of Mr. President
Forget unstoppable media frenzy with the stories of powerful Presidents and details of the secret behind the physical beauty of the few of the first ladies, APKGK is far more interesting story of a far more interesting President and his love interest. What if he is the President of a small youth club “Happy Club” only? Unlike political Presidents PREM is here to...

NAGINA (1986) : Not just another Ichhadhari-Nag(in) flick
After roaming in a world of Vampires, Werewolves and Werebeasts etc. in Hollywood movies for a long time, the need was to get acquainted with some supernatural beings in Hindi movies. These don’t include those Junoon types, directed (ghost?) by Mahesh Bhatt and clearly lifted from Hollywood movies like ‘The Wolf’ and ‘An American Werewolf in London’. In this...

Rishi Kapoor : Mein ab bachcha nahin hoon!
First part of Mera Naam Joker was heavily dependent on the acting skills of a young boy Rishi Kapoor, who had made his debut with this film. There is a scene in MNJ and any teenager actor has yet to supersede or even match the performance given by Rishi Kapoor in that particular scene. Raju, a young boy is confessing before the statue of Jesus in a church and his teacher,...

Chintu Ji : Fiesta for entire family
Film’s tag line (This film is part reality, part illusion and part fact, part fiction) summarizes very well the category in which this film can be defined. Rishi Kapoor plays himself, Rishi Kapoor the film star who is better known by his nickname Chintu. But except using real profession and real names of Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Raj Kapoor and Krishna Kapoor film...

Love : Aaj Kal D(evdas) DLJ
Ye Dil ka Khel hai Dillagi, ise bedili se na kheliye Love may happen in a moment’s time but it takes time in getting maturity and depth. Love is a life long affair. One may recall his very first love, done at a tender age of 14-16, while he is attending the marriage of his grand son and if that first love had remained unfulfilled he might feel a disturbance inside...

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...

A Collection of Thoughts on Delhi-6
(This post contains spoilers. You’ve been warned. Baaki aap ki marzi :-)) I normally stay far, far away from writing movie reviews. It just isn’t my forte. However, after seeing Delhi-6 on Saturday and then reading most of the reviews of Delhi-6 posted on the Internet, I feel compelled to write this post, since many of the reviews out there ignored a lot of...

Luck By Chance – A Tautology
Francis Voltaire has this famous quote to his credit: Chance is a word devoid of sense, nothing can exist without a cause. I too believe in it, quite strongly. In fact, the tautology has driven me to write this post. The title of the movie is a tautology and so is the content. Zoya Akhtar has used the word Luck as well as By Chance, both meaning almost the same. Zoya,...

Delhi 6: Postcode for Simple Nostalgia and Messages
Basking in the success of Rang De Basanti (RDB), Rakesh Omprakash Mehra decided to indulge in some nostalgia. Great films have come out of nostalgia, and Delhi with its old world charm (imagined and real), invites one to explore its narrow lanes that carry quaint names, to seek stories hiding behind high walls and close-set windows, and to regret the loss of a way of life...

Delhi 6 : kala bandar in colourful collage
Delhi 6 Movie Review Finally…am relieved. Since the first promo came out, i was dying to watch the film. And after the music release, masakalli and maula were good enough reasons to catch the film first day first show. And then i slowly discovered rehna tu and dil gira.

Luck By Chance: Moments and reactions
I avoid writing about films which every other person is writing about and voicing the same opinion as mine but what the heck! its been a one long long time since I saw a film like this. A film that I liked from first frame to the last. I think the last hindi movie that I liked was OLLO and before that? I don’t remember! Certainly nothing last year. I am not doing...

Luck By Chance: Will it make Farhan the new-age cinema’s star actor?
Hi Anurag (Kashyap). You are a scream in Luck By Chance, as the ‘institute’ pass out who is asked to write Bollywood scripts out of Hollywood DVDs. But no, I cannot agree with your assessment elsewhere on passionforcinema that Zoya Akhtar’s is probably the best-ever debut venture you have ever seen, even better than her brother Farhan Akhtar’s Dil...

Delhi 6 Music : Romance, Rahman & Gali-Muhalla
This has to be most ‘instant’ AR Rahman album that I can think of. Rang de basanti was commercial no doubt and had its moments, but in that one also people would raise an odd frown or two, and go back to the tracks. Not the case here. Masakkali. Maula. Delhi 6. And I guess the trend will continue, what is the deal man! Make some tracks make some music that...
