    Jhankar Beats on the Birthday of ‘Boss’
    First things first. Today is Pancham Da’s 70th Birth Anniversary. Despite my limited knowledge of his spellbinding music, I still am a fan in my own humble way. So to not cause hurt to millions of real hardcore fans of His, I refrain from writing about the musical genius – RDB aka Pancham Da aka Boss. I thought I would rather write about something that actually...

    Film Editing in an Ideal World
    Editing is an invisible art form. The less people notice it, the better it is. Unless one is specifically sitting down with a film and watching it to study the way it is cut, a good editor only allows the audience to experience his or her work on a subconscious level. When editors themselves watch a movie for the first time, it is but natural to be observing the cutting...

    Holi And The Unholy
    Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Holi. This is one of the most important festivals for us as it marks the victory of good over evil. Yes, Dussehra/Diwali are not the only festivals celebrating the end of sin/sinners; but Holi also is celebrated for the same reason. If we go back to mythology, Prahlad sat on the lap of Holika, the evil sister of Hiranyakashyap,...

    Happy Holi !
    Holi, the festival of colours, keeps different meaning to different people. Now nature will be more supportive to the farming. More and more flowers will be seen everywhere as spring has become the face of nature. Holi, has been the occasion when people forget their differences with each other and if they are still shy in raising hands towards each other then other...

    Aamir Khan supersedes other super stars of commercial hindi cinema in 2008
    Ghazini has similarities with many films like Memento, Jhootha Kahin Ka and Pasand Apni Apni etc, but does it reduce the intensity of hard work Aamir Khan needed to put in the character, he has played? Had his job become easy because scenes or ideas have been taken from above mentioned films? Sholay is said to be inspired by many films (Hindi and Western) but does this...

    Kompromise kaun nahi karta?
    It was late last night, I was with a filmi, gettin drunk & talking films (as usual… yawn). The waiter was taking the last order. Fellow filmi barked “1 KF Strong, 1 KF Diet”. Waiter says “KF Diet illa saaaar” (no KF Diet). I chide him to ask for a KF Premium and let it go. I followed this with the “kompromise kaun nahi karta?”...

    Death : An absolute truth that changes everything
    Every second of every day we are approaching towards the death.

    Khushboo: Fragrance of love, wait, sacrifice and moral right in the relationship
    First thing first, KHUSHBOO is a PERIOD film, based upon the story of Sharat Chandra Chatterjee. So no new definitions can be imposed on the characterisation/s. It is set in an old time and hence has to be seen in that manner only. Once selected a story, the thing which matters is the fact how convincingly a director has shown his chosen story. Story may not look convincing...

    BACKGROUND SCORES IN HINDI MOVIES
    BACKGROUND SCORES IN HINDI MOVIES As hindi movies are full of songs, the music directors and film makers do not concentrate on background music. Hindi movies are not giving as much importance as foreign movies are giving. Somehow trends are changing. Now our technically confident directors and music directors take background score in consideration while planing the scenes. In...

    PERFORMANCE FAILURE
    Whenever you read or heard “Is actor ne us actor ke performance ko us film me kaccha chaba liya hai” means one actor has overshadowed another actor’s performance. What do you thinks at that time? Is it failure of actor? Sometimes it is true, sometimes it is questionable. Take example of Agneepath(1990). It was truly Amitabh Bachchan’s film. But you can not ignore...
