  • The ‘Frozen’ DVD Release Pics – Part 1
    Some images. Hopefully Shivajee-san will be able put up more soon. Apologies but was far back in the audience to get a clear picture with my tiny camera. And some 50000 people turned up to cheer ;) Also have an incredibly funny anecdote snippet video of Vishal Bharadwaj talking about his experiences in Ladakh – but darn heavy file – will try and upload ASAP.

  • Documentary Film Festival: Taj Enlighten Film Society
    We all complain about being fed around with bad cinema. We all talk about change, and how we dont have Fellinis and Truffauts in our world of Dil Bole Haddipa. But many of us talk, and talk, and simply talk. Very few walk the talk, very few run against the stream, and actually catch something worthwhile, something they secretly admire on this website, or many other movie...

  • Get A Celebrity To Say Few Things About Your Film….
    Yes, that is what I have been hearing from the time we wanted to run a publicity campaign for Frozen. We wanted to follow a new way of releasing an independent film…very few prints (three to be precise),  platform/staggered release, low cost marketing and blah blah. But one support we wanted was from the media, to write something interesting about the film  and...

  • My thoughts on ‘Frozen’- A brilliant celluloid dream
    March 13th, 2009 will remain a special day for me. That’s the day when I had a very interesting experience of watching 2 interesting movies. Before anybody asks me what’s so special about watching 2 movies in a day, after all most of have us grown up watching multiple movies in a day-let me tell you that the day was unique for me due to the films watched and the person...

  • When I Met Danny Denzongpa!
    Before I made the move to Mumbai a year and a half ago, I thought that I’d probably get my first break as an actor playing Danny Denzongpa’s son in some movie. I met the man himself last Saturday and had a wonderful chat with him. I’m still not over it. Shivajee Chandrabhushan, director of the much-awarded (and finally to-be-released on May 8th) Frozen, told fellow...

  • Producers/Distributors Vs Multiplexes Standoff- the 3rd Dimension

  • How risky is Film Making in India today?
    At the very outset I would like to make a couple of things very clear – this is not a critique on any particular kind of movie or personality and I’m not a film maker, at least not yet. So what exactly is on my mind & what am I trying to say? Well for starters what I need to impress upon is that cinema at the end of day in spite of being an art form, still has...

  • Frozen – A Beautifully Unique Looking Film That Deserves The Big Screen
    I’m not sure where to start when talking about Shivajee Chandrabhushan’s Frozen. I’ve met him at a couple of PFC get-togethers and he’s a really nice guy, although he says he drove his crew pretty hard during the shoot. So there’s a little loss of objectivity about someone’s work when you know them and like or dislike them. I took along...

  • Screening Of Frozen…
    I didn’t know how to start this post. But as the hope for the release of Frozen is getting brighter I was advised to do some self-promotion. Frozen has become something like an “underground film”. People talk about it but have not seen it. It’s a different matter that it has been to 30 International Film Festivals and has won 19 awards in the...

  • Chapter One: “Introduction”
    “I wasn’t feeling too well this time around. Maybe it was the California sun or the moisturizer that I applied to get away from it – but this time I wasn’t feeling too well. Being housed up in a small room at the “Orchid house” (aka Directors’ house), I was the youngest among the other legends that I shared the space with.” It...
