  • Spiderman 3 – Fultoo Timepass
    Bhidu (Buddy): Thank god it’s over! I had such high expectations from this film. Apun (Me): Eh dimaag ka dahi mat kar. Subhe ka teen bajela hain. (Don’t make brain into yogurt.

  • Children of Men (2006)
    An extraordinary visual ride. Theo (Clive Owen) walks into a coffee shop flooded by people watching a breaking news of accidental death of a youngest human alive, 18 yr old ‘Baby Diego’. The year is 2027. Theo walks out of the coffee shop and waits outside a little far from the entrance to light his cigarette when suddenly there is a loud bang and we see the...

  • Size doesn’t matter!
    I love short films. They’re perfect for when you’re in the mood to watch a film but don’t have the time. Hell, I even try to catch a couple here and there during the day at work. Sadly, the market for short films is just not there with the masses. Unless a Darna Mana Hai or Darna Zaroori Hai comes along with Ramu’s banner behind it, the audience...

  • Happy Feet- The kids got suckered on this one!!
    I wonder if Sirjee and Betelal have watched “Happy Feet” yet. I am pretty sure Sirjee would whack Betelal on his head for getting aroused and lusting for a bosomy female penguin after watching this movie. Knowing betelal he would be making suggestive pelvic thrusts and dancing provocatively for the next few days :-) Seriously, what were the “Warner...

  • No Smoking on Sets Part 3
    Its 12:00 am in the morning. The wrap up was supposed to be at 9:00 pm. John is giving a shot, suddenly gets aggravated and goes,” Don’t you know how to clap.” He walks off the shot and tells Anurag,” You know I got into an accident, my knees are paining. What is that guy doing?” The clap AD is Sunil. He is in a state of shock. Can not believe what has happened....

  • The 48-hour Film Project: what say PFC?
    Here’s another idea I suggested to oz, and he suggested I post it here and check out reader reactions. 2001 marked the debut year of the 48-Hour Film Project, “a crazy idea to try to make a film in 48 hours” brought up by Mark Ruppert and his filmmaking partner Liz Langston. Basically, the producers at the 48hr Film Project have a huge meeting on a friday...

  • Master of the Arts III – The Crazy Kamal Connection
    Master of the Arts III – The Crazy Kamal Connection “When I look back, sometimes, I wonder if I was pretentious trying to make all those message oriented movies. I have no such illusions today. I am here to entertain people and all I will do is just that!” This is the essence of his career – chequered with fantasies and social satire, thrillers...

  • Master of the Arts
    “Had I not been a film maker” said this man once, “I would have been a teacher and built a school on the lines of Shantiniketan“. No bout a doubt it, if we were to look at his extensive experimentation with cinematic work and his exhaustive toolbox of skills, including writing, music and painting. After half a century of film making career –...
