    “What man of you, having an hundred sheep if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?” Luke 15:4 Whether it’s Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” or “The Zahir“, the recurrent dream, the pursuit of a goal has been a winner’s...

  • filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend
    Finally, sanity is being restored, or at least an effort is being made to do so, in the 54th Filmfare Awards. I was so glad to see movies like Rock On, OLLO and MMJ winning, and movies like RNBDJ and Dostana taking a backseat. Although the nominations were a little fuzzy[some categories had 5 nominations and some had 6, just to please a few people I guess], but given the...

  • THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY AND THE SHAMEFUL OF 2008
    A very late list but nonetheless here is what I think of the films released in 2008. The GOOD ONES: No. 1. No film qualifies. 2. No film qualifies. 3. Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye!: With a daisy fresh treatment of urban working class people and city wannabes, Dibakar Banerjee’s Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye! tops my year’s list. The film packed with Delhi eccentricities and...

  • Bollywood 2008 My 10
    It’s kind of a ritual for critics in the West to pick their favourite 10 films of the year gone by and even here in Bollywood newspapers and news channels are pouncing on the habit. But sadly, most of the papers and channels pick the Top 10 based on box office collections. While that to me is a great barometer to judge the quality of the film, it is not necessarily...

  • Rock On is My Story and Yours
    Every morning I would double click the Vanish icon on my desktop. It’s a Final Draft file, a script I am writing, hoping to turn it into a film. If I look at the script five times, I look at the clock on the wall seven times. It’s time, I have to go to office and hunt for an interview, dig out a story and make the newspaper page on Quark Express software. I...
