    Dosar – Ode to the Companions!
    Why is it that we look for a companion? Why is it that we do not understand loneliness? Why is marriage a very unpretentious relationship? Why does this relationship not brook any space for lies, self-seeking, myopia or alternate love, if there was any such term for extra marital relationships? Dosar (2006, Bengali, Planman Pictures, Rituparno Ghosh) decides to delve...

    Shob Charitro Kalponik – Poetry and Introspection
    The decadent Indian male with a heart of gold was best personified by ‘Devdas’. Over the years, Devdas came to us in different forms. Personally, Bimal Ray’s creation was by far the best. Prakash Mehra did his own version of ‘Devdas’ with Amitabh Bachchan in ‘Muqaddar ka Sikandar’ and on hindsight, that was very engrossing. They...

    Why did the Brake Fail…
    I am going a bit regional here… I think this post will only interest people who have interest in Bengali cinema. And since not much of Tollywood is represented in PFC anyway, this may not be that bad an idea… This is mainly about this guy called Kaushik Ganguly whose fourth film Brake Fail released today in Bengal. The film premiered last night at a city multiplex...

    Lear stirs, he lives…
    Towards the end of Rituparno Ghosh’s The Last Lear, in a scene, Amitabh Bachchan’s Harry is about to take a step which can put his life at risk. As the tension builds up towards the moment I suddenly felt what if Bachchan died today. Yes, what if Bachchan died today. This man, who had failure pinned on him from the day he faced the arclights, had 12 flops back...

    The Last Lear: Bachchan’s best? Maybe, may be not, but….
    In a Shakespearean tragedy, one cannot but get sucked into the emotional cauldron. Be it Othello or King Lear or Macbeth or Hamlet, its all about great emotional upheaval when it comes to the core of the Bard’s plays. In Rituparno Ghosh’s The Last Lear, Amitabh Bachchan’s (as well as most of the cast’s) first full-fledged English role, Harish ‘Harry’...
