  • Monu & Tony on PFC: Satyakalpadroom
    Dear Reader, this is not Magik’s review. This post is jointly written by Monu & Tony. Till date we had submitted hundreds of well-worded and heart-felt posts for PFC, all of which had been ruthlessly rejected. We had to resort to this trick, especially after we got to read the recent post on “One time Superstars“. Now if that post can go up on PFC,...

  • #$%* you, Vishal and Shekhar
    Early morning. Maybe 7 A.M or thereabouts. White seagulls across the grey skies that melt into the grey sea. A continuum all around of grey tones, dark and dank. In the middle of the crowded city, a place of absolute, total, terrifying aloneness. The bus stop at Haji Ali, across the road from the famous mosque. A strip of land leading into the sea and instead of into nothingness,...

  • Aladin: A wish came true!
    Love is in the air... [Disclaimer: A personal kinda filmi & slightly longer post] Just back from Vada-pao-dabeli-rashtra, happy as if I found my Genie, sleep-deprived yet dreamy-eyed, lethargic yet waiting to conquer new horizons & blah blah blah. Well, things are going great & the stage is set. For me to enter films? For me to quit advertising? For me to...

  • 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...

  • Aladin Genesis 4 – Ringmaster Arrives
    EROS PREVIEW THEATRE, 1998 I get invited to the screening of a film. For the first time in my life, I am seeing a film before its release. And here I meet for the first time, Sanjay Gupta, one of my favourite directors and a fine technician.

  • The Genesis of Aladin – Part 3
    I remember the day clearly… FILM CITY. FLOOR 9.  2003 I stand in one corner.  Atul Kasbaker clicks away stills for Dabur, while Mr. Bachchan poses.  Suddenly he shouts “STOP”!  - It’s too boring…let’s get some music on.  Hurry hurrush rush … and a music system appears by magic in which he slides in a CD. The music is from a new film yet to...

  • ‘Aladin’ or How I learnt to start worrying, slow down and make a movie : 2

Were going to get cooler as I was off to London (very bad joke, sorry) to meet Charles. I was running seriously low on money and had just got permission to use a small gym in Pali Hill, FREE, which was fantastic. Very nervously...
