  • Prasoon Joshi : a ‘Gulzar’ in the making?
    I have been at this post for quite a while now. But yesterday when I chanced upon this news piece that Prasoon Joshi was given the Shailendra award, I was spurred on to complete the post.

  • Review: Taare Zameen Par
    Note: I did not hate Taare Zameen Par. Or Rock On. Or A Wednesday. Not even Black. But the excess praise that came to these nice, but far from extraordinary films really got to me. Somehow, too much unwarranted praise can actually make one dislike the film more and more and magnify its flaws even more. TZP’s now gone to the Oscars, and while I could bet it’s...

  • Close Encounters with Close-Ups
    Recently I have revelled in the close encounters with the forgotten art of close-ups in couple of movies. Before I talk of these movies up close let me just share some masala and trivia with you on these close-ups.. The old cameramen who have gone to seed or become inactive don’t leave an opportunity to narrate how they used to relish lighting up for a close-up especially...

  • To Dearest Geeta with Love
    Dearest Geeta, Have started becoming more and more like a protagonist of a ‘feel good’ film. Have mellowed down a little. Cigarettes ? I know that will be your first question. They have gone down from 20@day to 15@day. You, the censor board of India and honorable Mr. Anbumani Ramadoss will be very happy to hear this. It doesn’t look as good as we wanted...
