    A special mention for David, who zealously made poster by poster, making the festival such a great success

  5. RGV Impersonator on October 13th, 2007 9:45 pm

    WOW..

    That certainly is a decent work..good job folks

  6. dazedandconfused on October 13th, 2007 10:03 pm

    Cool posters man! Congratulations to the winners!

  7. Shripriya on October 13th, 2007 11:51 pm

    Congratulations to the winners, honorable mentions and all the participants! It was unbelievable to see all the talent in the community.

    And kudos to the filmmakers/producers for stepping up with a surprise prize for the winners!

  8. Anurag Kashyap on October 14th, 2007 12:18 am

    There were five people voting.. me, kumar mangat, vishal bharadwaj, john abraham, rahul nanda
    manav got 3,2,1 votes for his three
    the other two winners and aaina got 2 votes each
    and one each for the last three..
    since we had to choose only three in total.. so keeping manav aside we chose two out of zaheer, aaina and elvis..
    each person had to just pick three of their favourites after ruling out ones that didn’t go with the film..
    Bad luck for David who really propped up the competition, but it just did’t go with the film..
    the fact that no one really knew what the film was about, proves this really doesn’t reflect on those who did not make it..
    sorry for the delay..

    btw it was accepted by all that OZ’s entry was the worst .. ha ha

  9. The Narcisist on October 14th, 2007 4:36 am

    Sorry for the off-topic post oz…but I read about Sonali and was deeply moved. Just wanted to convey that I’m praying that God grants Sonali and her parents enough strength to cope up with this. I’ll pass on the information to my acquaintances in the US and ask them to do the needful.

  10. Nishant on October 14th, 2007 5:36 am

    congrats to all the winners. it rocks!

  11. vikksterr on October 14th, 2007 12:49 pm

    I hate to be the moral police here. ugh.

    Elvis’s entry is similar to a bob marley t-shirt one my friends used to have. Very similar concept..even the colors.

    Maybe its plagiarized, maybe its a case of “great minds think alike.”

    Please don’t rip me apart or flame me for this. I’m just being honest. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw that poster was my friends t-shirt. :(

  12. dr tushar patel on October 14th, 2007 2:15 pm

    thank u all bringing the concept of posters to indian cinema. brilliant. never seen anything close to this in indian cinema. u guys are laying foundation for future for bringing credibility to cinema. ” just how long acn u wait” wow!!!

  13. Evelyn Tu on October 14th, 2007 4:14 pm

    Just bought the No Smoking soundtrack an hour ago. The music is so rich, complex and urgent, it makes my face tingle, my lips burn. Is this the intended effect?

    Omkara was my favorite music of the last couple of years. I was trying not to hope too hard for another gem from Vishal Bhardwaj, but already I’m loving No Smoking almost as much. So far, Vishal’s own voice on Kash Laga had the biggest effect on me.

    Now I’m anxious for the movie to live up to the soundtrack.

    This probably isn’t the right thread, but I don’t feel well informed enough about music to start my own topic.

  14. qwerty on October 15th, 2007 2:22 am

    yeah, vikkster is right, the zaheer image is ripped off from a Bob Marley poster…don’t think he deserves the $500.00….

  15. George on October 15th, 2007 6:55 am

    awesome work guys … i have not seen such posters for many films that come out every friday !!!

    Anurag and grp have a made a good selection !!! such posters can really promote the movie !!!

  16. Tushar on October 15th, 2007 2:52 pm

    More power to you Guys! Well deserved wins. The poster contest was a glaring example of “creativity phoot padi @ PFC” :)
    It was such a memorable time, refreshing the page every hour to find so many new entries, so many fresh perspectives bumbling with ideas. The very passion with which every designer envisioned the film and its look was so inspiring and heartening!
    Heartfelt thanks to all participants and congratulations to the winners!
    saara prize money phoonk de!

    Evelyn, feel free to discuss any aspect of No Smoking’s music on my post!(jab bhi cigarette jalti hai). :)

  17. Zaheer on October 15th, 2007 6:44 pm

    ‘qwerty’ I dont think you meant to put my name ‘Zaheer’ on your post # 14.

  18. vikksterr on October 15th, 2007 9:56 pm

    @ #14 and #17

    The poster I was referring to was made by Elvis D’silva.
    Btw..check this out. I was looking for the bob marley picture..this is what I found.

    http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/153/1033046~Bob-Marley-Smoke-the-Herb-Man-Posters.jpg

    This is the one I’ve seen on my friends t-shirt, except that his t-shirt was black and the color of bob marley’s face was pretty similar to Elvis’s creation.

  19. qwerty on October 15th, 2007 10:09 pm

    Sorry Zaheer, I meant to say elvis…my bad! Your poster on the other hand is pretty cool.And Vikkster, you’re right, too bad anurag and Oz are not aware of that almost legendary and extremely well known image of Bob Marley that elvis ripped off.

  20. Anurag Kashyap on October 16th, 2007 1:49 am

    CASH PRIZES to be given to the winners tomo at All Sports Bar at ANDHERI by John Abraham.. all welcome.. at Nine PM..

  31. night on October 16th, 2007 9:55 am

    yahan bhi! =))

  32. Machchar on October 16th, 2007 11:19 pm

    tsk tsk! I have even ironed my clothes with extra care and went to mochi to fix my shoes! Anurag, now you guys have to definitely provide free drinks!

    Shatrughan, Dinner I am not worried as I have my faithful Raju Kababs! I like to lick my fingers and burp, which is definitely not possible in such posh joints!

  33. The Narcisist on October 17th, 2007 3:23 am

    Night….i know its not my business…but why are you so obsessed with everyone-knows-what? I’d be grateful if you’d care to educate my curious mind here.

  34. night on October 17th, 2007 4:27 am

    Narcisist: what are you talking about???

  35. night on October 17th, 2007 4:32 am

    I think you’ll find the word “obsession” describes someone who continues to refer to or mention a person they have no real connection with or an event long after it’s over (as is the case here), so please check all the facts before you butt in.

  36. night on October 17th, 2007 4:51 am

    Furthermore Narcisist (and this is my last comment today - promise!), nice lil post on the other thread, but can you pls explain what you mean by the following (with an example)?

    “Digestively correct words of praise for LOCAL GOD”

  37. The Narcisist on October 17th, 2007 4:54 am

    Gee…r u an ekta kapoor fan night? u sounded so K-ish when you said that.

    NEways…I did mention that it wasn’t my business…and you reinforced that with your response. I’m sorry to have butted in.

    And thanks for answering my question. :-)

    Peace out!!

  38. The Narcisist on October 17th, 2007 4:59 am

    And I just realised that I had two off-topic posts on this thread. My bad…and apologies to Oz and Anurag for spreading smoke in a No Smoking area.

    Congrats to all the winners. I would’ve come to clap for you guys had it not been postponed. Now its coinciding with the T-20 match to which I have tickets. So let me do the honours here itself.

    =d>=d>=d> for Manan, Elvis & Zaheer! Rock on!!!

  39. night on October 17th, 2007 5:07 am

    Nope, I don’t watch Ekta K or Indian TV serials. And I don’t mind you asking, but your question didn’t make much sense.

  40. The Narcisist on October 17th, 2007 5:26 am

  41. night on October 17th, 2007 5:51 am

    Or maybe it’s just me…a bit slow on the uptake today & not in the best of moods… Anyway, no worries! Apologies if I was snappish and thanks for the explanation - v well observed and amusing rundown on flame wars!

    (ps. there is an unintentional joke in your above post which made me laugh, but I’ll share the punchline another time maybe… ;) )

  42. Aaina on October 17th, 2007 9:32 pm

    Congratulations to Zaheer, Elvis and Manav. Well done! And a big Thanks to Anurag for the mention. The trailers are looking great. Good luck for the movie.
