  • K K K Kiran Se Kaminey Tak

It seems Aaj Kal love may not be enough..To be different in Hindi Cinema the challenge is...

  • Yaari Hai Imaan Mera, Yaar Meri Zindagi- Friendship as depicted in Bollywood Films
    On behalf of Ashwin I dedicate this post to Vrushali, who according to Ashwin is the best friend in the world. Friendship is an integral part of our emotions and friends occupy an important part of our lives. In some cases friends often are given the same status as that of family members when it comes to certain crunch situations. For someone who has been brought up over...

  • Blackbird: Filmi mind @ a play
    I begin this post with a solemn prayer to Lord CinemaIndra that may the producer-exhibitor stand-off get over soon or we cinephiles might soon have to regress and begin to write about stardust awards, saas-bahu soaps or random PFC meets that never happened. So, getting back about what this post was about – BLACKBIRD, a play that I saw today. I had absolutely no...

  • most memorable filmfare awards of 1992-93
    Most awards, you know, they don’t give you unless you go and get them – did you know that? Terribly discouraging. - Barbra Streisand The topic of awards is quite a sensitive one. But, at the same time its also a topic of much controversy when the right people do not get it and the wrong ones are awarded, for whatever reasons. Like the practise goes, of giving...

  • Priyadarshan- The Run Machine of Indian Cinema
    So far this year we have seen the frenzy generated by SDM and the success of movies like Dev D and Raaz- the Mystery Continues. And of late we have been hearing a lot about the ongoing strike in Bollywood. But there was also one landmark that occured in the 1st Qr of 2009, something which did not really get so much of attention. This landmark was achieved on 13th February...

  • Tryst with Cinema
    iView Author: Shreyansh Shukla (Mumbai, India) Email: neel219[at]gmail[dot]com Tryst with Cinema As the name suggests, this is a story about transition, about self-realization, about what to do and what not to do in life and after life. Also the Title says so many things, about life coming a full circle, may be a vicious circle. Mard was the first movie I saw in theatre,...

  • In-film advertising. Haan ya Na?
    It’s a B-E-A-U-tiful Saturday evening & alas I am working. Clients are exploiting recession the most & twisting it in all ways possible to squeeze their ad agencies dry. Well, as long as my ‘meter is down’ all is well. Still not prepared to deal with ‘unemployment’ & its aftermaths. Heard & read really tragic stories of...

  • Without malice…
    You know what? Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan have buried their differences. For the cause of a body called the united forum or something like that. While talking of some pipeline that needs to be repaired, Mr. Shahrukh Khan says that the big guys will fight for the smaller guys (not verbatim but something to that effect). Thank you Mr Khan. I, your humble subject, your...

  • The Curious Case Of Shilpa Shetty
    Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don’t have any time to think of anything else but Lady Limelight, because pretty soon that light will be shinning on somebody else. So you better do it while you can. - Buck Owens Yesterday I was seeing a news bulletin about Shilpa Shetty wishing to meet Jade Goody, and she was telling the media...

  • 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,...

  • Luck By Chance – A Tautology
    Francis Voltaire has this famous quote to his credit: Chance is a word devoid of sense, nothing can exist without a cause. I too believe in it, quite strongly. In fact, the tautology has driven me to write this post. The title of the movie is a tautology and so is the content. Zoya Akhtar has used the word Luck as well as By Chance, both meaning almost the same. Zoya,...

  • Luck By Chance: Moments and reactions
    I avoid writing about films which every other person is writing about and voicing the same opinion as mine but what the heck! its been a one long long time since I saw a film like this. A film that I liked from first frame to the last. I think the last hindi movie that I liked was OLLO and before that? I don’t remember! Certainly nothing last year. I am not doing...

  • Not just – Luck By Chance
    While the rest of the world and its kuzin have been busy going gaga about the emosanal atyachar inflikted by masakkali matakkali, one film that has held me dumbstruck is the debut venture of Zoya Akhtar – Luck By Chance (LBC). A venture that looks so real, so honest & so heart wrenching. A stark kontrast to OSO… what Farah Khan did with her spoof, this...

    Yesterday was my lucky day. Bengaluru mein sunday ko movie tickets milna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hai. But namumkin ko mumkin banane waale ko hi to FILMI kehte hain!
