    Hona hai to ho hi jayega – Of Lost Songs-II
    Continuing from where we left… BETAABI There was something about Vishal’s music in all lesser significant films. Betaabi was one such score. Raw. Instinctive. Full of beans. It was music with attitude, songs that would make you sit up. Tum mere ho would never leave me, it was a healer of sorts, loved the slowly-building-up sense of rhythm, the violent symphony,...

    Subhash Ghai – A Leopard Changes Its Spots
    Subhash Ghai, the showman of the industry, is now not-to-be-seen anywhere. The man who gave a string hits like Vidhata, Hero, Meri Jung, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar, Khalnayak, Pardes, Taal; and then suddenly he lost the magic touch. When you read the names of these movies, I am sure you noticed that all these were the typical masala Hindi movies which had the recurrent...

    IT Guys, Please Excuse!
    Off-late I have been hearing about a lot of lay-offs and lots of IT professionals losing their jobs. In fact, the other day I received an email-forward which had a screen-shot of some girl’s profile in a matrimonial website. Her preference had this strange condition – IT guys, please excuse. So, the downturn and recession has hit the matrimonial market too....

    Yuvvraaj 2050
    “(It was ahead of its times)That’s one of the reasons I postponed watching it.” -Professor ATM Yadav Enough of this Slumdog humbug. It truly pains me to see everyone singing Jai Ho to an astonishingly overhyped British film, while the Indian masterpiece for which the Oscar winning song was originally composed lies unsung, brutalised, trashed. It all...

    2008: A lengthy year-end roundup of the films that were
    It has been a crazy year at the movies. While Bollywood has mostly found it tough to spring any surprise, in the real sense, and there are hardly any films which impressed me out of the league (when compared to the last year – examples are aplenty, it had films either so good which made one shout from the rooftop or films that made you cringe and rethink about spending...

    Gulzar, A.R. Rehman and Subhash Ghai for Yuvvraaj
    All three sat together, perhaps for the first time ever. Another first – Gulzar providing lyrics to Ghai’s directorial venture. An interesting and engaging interview this, just by the fact of putting these three heavyweights together… though I wish Anupama Chopra could have put forth a few questions beyond the “how was it like..” types. Still...

    Yuvvraaj – setting the stage
    If blogging was prevalent in the 90’s, there would be so many things I would write about – all the dubbbed films mesmerizing an alien audience in a way they never imagined, song dance and more, Gopi Kishan, Mohra, that oddball which changed the way I looked at Indian films called Dil Se, mid-90’s action wave, all the newbies vying for a sustainable career...

    JAAGO MOHAN PYAARE! “It is very easy to criticise anyone’s work than doing the actual work”. The old and experienced players of hindi cinema…started their career by redefining the rules of typical bollywood film making.

    Shatrughan Sinha’s biography will be having chapters on his acting career, political career, his real life incidences and his relationship with Amitabh Bachchan.

    India also needs to make films with veteran actors in lead roles!
    After reading Anurag’s post where he has mentioned that he is searching for an actor who could play Gabbar Singh in No Smoking. An actor who should be between 50 and 60 years old. Danny was the most natural choice with obvious reasons. and as soon as Danny’s name flashed in mind, I was filled with a thirst to see this amazing actor in a meaningful role. I saw...
