    11th Osian Cinefan Film Festival: Opening Ceremony
    Sometimes life turns out to be rather very kind to you, very soon, and you’re fortunate to get what you’ve always wanted and wished. Cinema is a passion that I’ve unknowingly been living with for the past sixteen years, only to realise that I’m most comfortable with the cinematic expression, and the artistic form of cinema. I was never exposed to world cinema or...

    An Indian “Darshak”, Kaminey and Critics
    Today I watched Kaminey for the Fixfth time. I am not trying to give another review of the movie because I don’t consider myself good enough to review any movie. That is why I could not write here before this. For the past two years I wanted to write  but I did not do that. But I can’t stop myself anymore. Kaminey is not a milestone in Indian cinema but it is something....

    Critique of a critique of Kaminey
    Running against the course is one way of seeking and getting attention. And Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr in his ‘A pretentious film bamboozles critics’ (DNA, 25th Aug, 2009) does exactly that. Even if one goes by the view that one is entitled to have one’s own, very individual view that might go against the popular/majority view when it comes to any creative work, Rao...

    Kaminey – Kaminey indeed but not Kaminey Enough
    Kaminey posterIt can be argued that the real test of talent of a good director lie not in his story but in its telling. In this sense, s/he would be like those classical bards who invented not the stories (and almost always borrowed from the existing mythologies) but the forms and styles to put them in. Indeed that’s how good and successful adaptations have earned a...

    Kaminey: India’s Pulp Fiction
    Kaminey: India's Pulp Fiction A non-linear narrative meanders along a heady cocktail of inopportune satire and violence, noir seduces pastiche, genres go hand in glove yet celebrate their explicit irony, mafia machinations that fuel a redemption and then there is a chase for a mysterious object; either a briefcase or a guitar case. In any case, what have you here; India’s...

    Kaminey Movie Review
    Hmmm , where do I start ?? …Some films are not easy to review because an experience has to be experienced , it is actually hard to put it on paper . This is exactly what Kaminey is , an experience . Lets start from the beginning . The film doesn’t take time out for introducing the characters one by one , they get introduced by themselves , by default . By the...

    Kaminey: Just Dhan Te Na!
    Vishal Bhardwaj takes one of the most popular themes of Bollywood – that of identical twins – and mixes with another of the most popular themes – that of clash of ideals between brothers – and mashes it with some of the commonest Bollywood elements – corrupt policemen, criminals-aspiring-to-be-politicians, drug runners and mafia who would stop at nothing...

    Kaminey – one of the 100 films to watch before you Die!
    “Ikeesvi sadi hogi Dariya se nikalenge neki Aur saar pe baji hogi….hogi…hogi… Dhan Ta Dhan…tana tana….tana tana…..” This was a song Vishal Bharadwaj had composed for his debut tele-serial “Dhan Ta Dhan”. Folklore now and hearsay then had it that it was a terrible film and apparently many advised him to stick to music and not make films. One decade...

    Raat ke dhai baje, Mehfil saje, Kaminey baje
    A fresh season crawls up my window, as the lull reaches some depth of sorts. RAAT KE DHAI BAJE A few things are as 2:30 AM. Like a wasted trip. A trip that goes waste. For all the reasons understood by the likes of you and me. pehli baar mohabbat ki hai. And it is the end.

    Dhan Te Nan! Kaminey: Music Review
    So way back in February I went to see Delhi-6 and the first thing I see is the trailer of Kaminey with that mind-blowing Dhan Te Nan song in the background. Called my cousin and here went our conversation: “Oh. My. GOD! I just saw this awesome trailer. Oh my god! Kyaa mast song hai!! Dhan Te Nan!” “Achaa ji?” “Arrey haan! Check YouTube naa!” “Kyaa type...

    No Smoking : Body and soul are interdependent in this world to function
    No Smoking was rejected and ridiculed by film industry when it was released. But it had material to affect the filmmakers. Last Sunday I got to see Drona and it reminded me of No Smoking. Drona suggests that yes it has affected or has started affecting the film makers. The moment Abhishek Bachchan steps into the imaginary world (some nagar) and meets with a dwarf and...

    Maqbool
    (4/5) Revisited this tour-de-force after years, and was left stunned again- its visceral emotional power makes even Bhardwaj’s brilliant Omkara pale in comparison. IMDB

    Writer/actor/director/producer connection !
    We read daily that so and so filmmaker insisted that he does not go for stars but he signs the actors who fit in his story. Writers say that sometimes they write by keeping a certain actor in mind. Does it give enough freedom for them to develop the character then? As a certain actor may have limitations as far as his acting ability is concerned. His mannersims may be...
