Who the fuck i think i am?
exactly..
who am I? I in capital..I walked into Ruby Tuesday at the infinity mall and there was this man.. i never found out who?.. and he said “Finally” and i looked at him like Travis bickle looked into the mirror and asked “you talking to me”.. only difference being i wasn’t carrying any guns..
mr. anurag kashyap, the man who thinks he knows it all, well do you?
do i know you?
you are a big man sir, you know nobody, you teach yashraj how to make films, you tell khalid mohammad how to review films, everyone knows you, but may i ask sir, who exactly you think you are beyond being a frustrated ranter?
what is a ranter?
you, the one who rants..
as in rave and rant?
as in just rant..
ok..[waiting for what's gonna come next]
i read your blogs..
thank you..
have you ever given it a thought that you might need help?
yes, i need it all the time..
no, i mean with your mind, you are delusional you know.. you really think people care about what you write?
i know they don’t..writing just helps me, i am a selfish blogger?
you are not even a writer mr. kashyap?you are just attention seeking desperado..
well thank you, are you a psychiatrist?
He laughed..”no, come i want you to meet my wife, she hates you too, and by the way she loved Tara Rum Pum and so did my children and guess what, we all hated metro..”
good for you sir..
We walked to a table and there was this lady and he said ” leena, babes look what i found for you”.. (what , not who,
i felt like the museum piece, the exhibit , i so much wanted to be..) and the lady looks at me and goes”anurag kashyap”
well yes, but i did not win the spelling bee..i thought, i felt like saying it but i didn’t..
WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU ARE?
exactly.. i don’t know..
you know something, i know nobody who doesn’t wait for a yashraj movie..
then you don’t know me mam..
they understand us, they know what we want, they make films to make us happy, they make the world a better place, and they don’t make documentaries and pass it off as a film.. films have songs, healthy entertainment..
where did i hear that before?,”healthy entertainment”..oh the censor guy said that to me after watching PAANCH..
so mam, what do you want to say?
i even saw Metro and the actor you love so much, KK, he was so evil , i hated him..
he was playing a role mam, he is actually a very nice guy..he is intense alright but he is quiet dependable..
YEAAAAAAAAH.. (now this yeah that she said was a long one, and what followed is what prompted this post, an impulse i couldn’t resist, while she continued )
i have always believed he is a nice guy, he has so much intensity, and he is tall and..
(she was lost for words, but her eyes were wide and her voice had gone so dreamy, she had forgotten i write against YRF, she actually looked like she was longing for KK)
he has always been..you know..
(she never could find the words from this point onwards)
i have always thought there was something so..you know, in his eyes, and the way he looks at you..you must be knowing him closely..
(Well i couldn’t resist it anymore so i asked)
mam, would you like to fuck him , because i can ask him, he is married but one can always try..
ONE TIGHT SLAP
(i got , from the man who was her supposed husband, standing on my right, the slap came spontaneously, impulsively, like my question to the lady, it kind of slid trough, didn’t land..)
you are disgusting ..
can’t help it..
lets go babes, he is a sick man..
and they left..well what was i thinking.. shit happens..

I just read part of ur post on the main page & i was like how the fuck that movie play in fun republic the day after it won Palm’D'Ore.
I’m most excited about “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” by Julian Schnabel. He is a true artist. Crazy too. “Only guy who can make garbage out of garbage”(About his painting:).
And “No Country for Old Men” By Coen Brothers.
It would be great if you off all the people would do this last film seen thing regularly. All of us would greatly benefit from your film viewing mania.

sahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
maza aa gaya :-)
:d/
Anurag – this was tooooooooooooo friggin good. What a freakin wonderful way to bring one down !!
One TIGHT SLAP !!!
And boss – u had the audacity to say “If u want to fuck him i can arrange a meeting” !!!
=))=))=))=))=))=))=))=))
Yaar itna bhi moonhphat nahi hona chahiye
well..like my friend reacted when i told him.
“this is your cinema moment anurag..”
i felt like sergeant brant in a ken bruen novel, unleashing on an unsuspecting, god fearing, alcohol guzzling, the public-opinion-is-my-opinion couple..
or one of those noir actors, except i didn’t have a hat and an overcoat.
Hilarious post.
If it gets made into a short movie titled, KK ki Deewani, how about putting in a song in dream sequence right after,
I can bet my mosquito’s balls on who that woman was fantasising about that night while making it out with her husband! hyuk hyuk hyuk!!
KK…Kontrol yaar…
(Do you know what the egg and the sperm were speaking that night? We both belong to KK mentally)
Hey Anurag, your posts reminds me of a similar situtaion from Fountainhead. I dont remember exactly who says this, but someone comes up with similar logic about Roark and his buildings.
:(:(:( I cannot believe that happened. I have always heard incidents of it. This is my reality check:-< .. Though I must say it was hilarious reading your thoughts on the couple o:-)
:d:d:d:d
Talking about entertainment: well I believe entertainment is a very subjective term. It varies from person to person. And I am the kind of person who looks just for entertainment in movies. I find movies like Company(which hasnt got very less naach gaana or family stuffs in it) entertaining, but at the same time I find movies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee(which has lots of family stuffs in it) entertaining as well. Why is it that those who dont like the family stuffs ridicule people who like them. I can understand if people criticize a particular movie, but I fail to understand the logic behind criticizing the whole genre.
the stuff was hilarious, but this really happened? mr.anurag u really got slapped?
hi boss she just wanted to reach kk through you, soon you’ll get a call asking for a date with kk. you know what im still an assistant director but many times i faced this disgusting conversation with my own family.. im thinking of showing them takashi mike’s VISITOR Q. So that they can know their abnormality. Did you watch it.. if not dont miss it. if something happens about kk’s date please let me know..

AK TURN FIXER
Sub-Ash Ki (Le) Jah
MUMBAI, May 31: He was always less known for his shitty films and gained instant notoriety for spitting shit on avante garde cinema a la the Yashraj School of Filmmaking. But what was still unknown about Mr AK was that he also acted as a part-time fixer.
A few days back Mr AK was caught red-handed in the act by Mr Lovey-Dovey-Hubby. “The guy had the audacity to offer my wife a screw up with KK,” charged Mr LDH. “Man, he is screwed in his head. I mean, I wouldn’t mind her sleeping with someone like Mr KJ or Mr AC or even Mr YC. But KK, that jaundiced fellow who always seems to be in need of kabz haar! How could he even utter such a thing? We are middle class, no?” fumed Mr LDH.
“My husband did the right thing in slapping him right on his cheek, He actually deserved a slap on his butt cheek,” said Ms Leena Babes, wife of Mr LDH, with moist eyes. The couple claimed it was just a case of dirt in her eyes. Unconfirmed sources, however, claimed she was still to recover from the shock of getting under the shets with Mr KK. The couple, however, vehemently denied this.
This correspondent tried to reach Mr AK for comments, but he was unavailable. The answering machine said he was busy shooting ‘Kuch Nahi Kahoonga’ in Khandala. Industry sources, however, said an ashamed Mr AK has left town indefinitely.
waiting for the Mungiu post, boss. & if u could tell us when will it release.
joyjeet- hilarious, sad “Onion” is not published in india..
Kartik k- KK she mentioned is not you so don’t be happy
Just had a dream
Hi everyone,
I have recently seen a chinese movie ” NOT ONE LESS” by Yimou Zhang.
I would say it is one of the most honest and beleivable movies i have ever seen. Amazing!!
Watch it!!
Yaar, socho us aurat pe kya gujar rahi hogi is waqt…she must be playing this conversation in her mind again and again…replace the thapad with…
“Her eyes were shinging bright and screaming yes! yes! yes!…plEASE! Yes!…but her lips saying…I would be glad to meet him, uske baad waqt apne faisle khud karegi…
Here is my number 987-DO-IT-TO-ME”
As its fantasies…I would leave the rest to the reader’s imagination.
waah, funniest thing i read in whole day….
taking the slap ..:D
haha
LOL @ Joyjeet! Funny shit man…
..lol ..fuking funny.:)):)):))
@Mainak, Striker and Anurag..
Is there a competition of watching movies between u guys.. I wud love to join..
I had some stuff so I watched trainspotting and requiem for a dream(repeat).
will update with more very soon.
lol! stop going to malls.
This incident reminds me of Ben Affleck in MALLRATS!
There is no competition Saurabh.
The idea is to share the movies we watch. And most of us watch atleast 1 movie a day.

Anurag,
I quite like Black Friday and your brazen, no nonsense attitude towards Bollywood.
But have to say that this post of yours is crap. You don’t have to be this insanely aggro. We would rather have your films reassert your ideas of what a good film is/should be.
Looking fwd to No Smoking. Cheers.

hey anurag .. what this shit man. Is there anything related to passion towards cinema.. you should no degrade someone you dont even know properly. they like yash raj and co.. so let them be. all im requesting you is please talk about some serious stuff, dont waste your time with this shit chats. you have a good vision of writing and other things, so please share them with young film makers… so that they can know what is what… what i personally think is … this site is becoming voice for frustrated brat’s. so please consider my humbel request. and change the site’s to its real aim for quality cinema.
Wel today while browsin the Mid day gotta reach the scene happnd at Infiniti with ya Anurag, hope you really had no idea abt such a adventure that couple was tired of their own borin no fuck lyf and so is the reason tehy reacted taht way.
any ways u keep rokin with some new scripts
Cheers:)>-
I’d just say that every person has a right to like or dislike anything. Its democracy. If someone doesn’t wanna hear or read what u have to say about anything, its their choice.
hahahaha..fuck ur cool man…by the way i saw black friday .. and am dieing to c paanch …i absolutely love ur work..specially the scenes in black friday which were shot near mahim dargah…best of luck go on and do some great work.
Oh my God, How stupid tht couple r, R they Phsyco. I think they should be made naked and fucked by Kay Kay’s DOG and not by Kay kay himself. If thts not enough send them to me i will do the needful.

P.S : Film to watch “No mans land” lagaan lost Oscar to this movie.
Great writing about your experience. I was reading this on mid-day.com. Frankly, I give a rats ass about stupid pastel goody goody movies made in bollywood – its the ‘real’ movies like Black Friday or others that are seemingly closer to reality than the crap that YRFs or Mr. Kabhi Pussy Kabhi Bum makes.
I know this incident won’t stop you – kudos for being yourself! I have a newfound respect for you.

may god bless ur soul man. i dont understand r u real or just a illusion. no matter what u r sir, i am a great fan of urs. can relate with ur mind and thoughts. i am just like u, may be we r from same mother lolz or our fathers had an affair lol and the best part is as a child we use to live very close, u in anpara UP n me in shaktinagar NTPC UP, small town boyz. hardly 10 miles away from each other and see we both r in mumbai working our ass out as directers. i am sorry not u, u r big now but i am, have made two shortfilms. no one love the kind the cinema i make, see again we have some thing common, dieing to meet u, but i am stright and happly married, just like u, or may be not. saw u in mocha film festivel but dint have the guts to talk to u. i admire u so much that its hard for me to talk to u as person. may be the day u will come in front of me and say hi, will be my last day on this cruel world. anyways i know u wont reply as i am writing this just for myself. its a thearphy which i have learned from my guru barry john. the man who helped me to find out who i am ? where i am from? whats my perpose in this lost world. but still i dont know who i am? i dont know what i am writing just going on n on n on.
“they make the world a better place to live in”
hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
wat a fucky jok u are saying. well, congratulate for a slap in a mall. take care still more is waiting. world doesnot like a dare devil.

It is very shocking that people go so fanatic on movies.
But I feel you could have resisted the temptation to retort to that lady. (BTW, nor do I restrain myself from responding evenly and getting messed up).
the curious part of it was how effortlessly you spoke your mind..did you really?…r u conscioous of this trait of yours?…or is it something spontaineous and out of control?
It is a blessing to be unconscious and zapped all the time, what say?
While this is a great and funny story, and Mr. AK is probably one of the few among us who can turn something like this into something hilarious, and the couple did act somewhat provincial, the fact is that I am somewhat bothered by some of the comments here, especially the one by “sarfaraz”.
I really don’t see any need for outrageous name calling or threatning acts of violence against these people. Fun is fun, but can we keep this relatively civil?
I HAD NEVER SEEN A DOWN 2 EARTH PERSON THEN ANURAG EVER IN MY LIFE.HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST.N I FEEL MOST OF THE FILMAKERS R JEALOUS OF HIM,COZ HE MAKES FILMS WHICH PASS MSGS N U CN LEARN LOT OF THINGS.N HE MAKES MOVIE WITH SENSE….U R UNBEATABLE ANURAG..!! Kaaliya sach bolta hain..Haaaen..
Anurag … couldnt belive this happened. but how can you keep quiet? its just silly that they had to slap you for tara rum pum cum …watever… the world doesnt know but all wat filmakers today make is good enough to throw in the recycle bin.just the same old 2 kids and hero /heroine…it is there in all 90% of films made today. i guess hindi cinema has reached the saturation point long back. we are short of ideas.dhoom 3 was a good hit here but if its shown in the west nobody will it a damn.it is simply unreal and childish film…good for 5 year old and infants to watch.
U R UNBEATABLE ANURAG..!! UR FILMS ROCK !!!
hi mr. kashyap i really respect u as a director. i saw black friday first day first show and somehow i thought u were a good human being too.but let me tell u that i am totally dissappointed after reading ur blog.
how cud u say such a disrespectful thing to an old and make fun of the old couple in front of the whole world. i must say this throws light on ur character as a man.u really deserved what u got!! one tight slap!!
this is a democratic world. we are all entitled to have our own opinions. u might be a great director but since when have u turned into a mind reader to be so sure of what the lady was thinking of. a man doesnt become great by his art but also by the the greater qualities he possess.
and ALL U BLIND AK FOLLOWERS.. WUD U ALL HAVE EQUALLY ENJOYED IF HE HAD SAID THE SAME THING TO UR MOTHER!!!
who said they were old.. they were my age.. was i disrespectful.. offcourse.. but isn’t the world full of hypocrites..
stop feeling so morally superior.. you get what you deserve, i got my slap and they got my suggestion.. we were both asking for it..
a slap was a physical act whereas words were from the mouth, a reciprocation should have been in words and not a slap. thats why this world is full of shit and violence. anyways i think i am talking bullshit…
=)) Honestly, I am surprised you got away with just a slap! This whole incident seems just too funny to be true. Waise, I am not a regular here so I don’t know what exactly have you got against Yashraj, despite your having read some of your past ‘rants’, he he. Do u mind telling me….
PS: Please don’t get all defensive though, I am not that big a yrf fan either, its just out of plain curiosity that I want to know what have you got against them…
sorry I meant despite (me)having read some of your past rants
Bole to Baap EEeenth Ka Jawab Patthar Se Diya…Mogambo Khushh HUaaaaaaaaa
after this incident now i belive ..u r really

Some story that is. Sounds more like a Bheja Fry sequal? :d he he
—————————————
“Anurag Khasyap…” somehow nowadays that name brings to my mind – not a writer/director who has made some good movies – but a guy who loves bashing YRF. Thou I see no wrong in that… I would like to do that myself… only if I had nothing better to do. Anurag, thou I don’t know you personally, I think you will be better off without writing about YRFs, or for that matter revolting against movies which aren’t about cinema. I believe any effort on that front isn’t worth it… esplly yours. However, do critically reviewing movies.
regards
Alok
Anurag
If you are someone againsy YRF kind of films, how was it that 2 geniuses of our realistic cinema, Anurag Kashyap & Tigmanshu Dhulia were on the credits of Jhoom Barabar as Story Development?
vishalag it was a film that they based on a script written by us and they thought it was their birthright that they can take it and twist it and do whatever with it because they are YRF.. it’s the big bully in them that fucks with people all the time.. why do you think YRF doesn’t have the balls to retaliate to what i say..
Anurag, did they not ask for your permission before twisting it around? And if they did twist the script, why did they even give you both the credit?? Btw, maine JBJ dekhi nahin hai …
by the time i found out they were already into it.. they paid me eventually.. that credit they gave us as an after thought.. when i found out i spoke about it at FTII last year which i think kartik krishnan wrote a post on..
no they didn’t take permission..i signed the contract much after just before the release
anurag i admire your guts …but why did you compromise and sign the contract?..why didnt you sue them?
emotionally chutiya ban jaata hoon baar baar.. shaad was a good friend.. evryone involved was a friend.. i was the only one who suffered.. but it’s all past now..
i get upset when someone from YRF says first he wanted money for the film and now disowns it..well i wanted money for the work i did.. and i disown JBJ because it wasn’t sangam mail
Guru D…u n emotional chutiya…dont look at all…may be yrf hav figured out ur weakness then…
anurag thats so true for all brilliant directors..emotional fools…but just wondering what if you wnated to direct the film yourself???…do these guys even care for such things ??
why dont you make your own sangam mail now??
the script was registered in my name.. i could have if i found out in time..it was my favourite script.. but then it wasn’t the first time i was foolish.. i have done it umpteen number of times.. maybe i will learn maybe i won’t.. but now i m busy enough making my own films to allow anyone to fuckaround again..
then i was also too fucked up and didtracted to follow up on things.. too busy fighting to get my films released
phoenixnu.. i was worse.. hopefully it won’t be.. at the time of release i couldn’t talk about it..don’t ask me why.. but it’s ok now,,
they made chak de.. so it’s ok
isnt it really funny that shaad ali in pre realease publicity of the film claimed how he got this idea while he missed a flight and was sitting at delhi airport and he met a chick ..to whom he lied and stuff and got owndering if she had a boy friend or not and some such stuf
basic plot is similar.. ours was based in delhi, on a delhi railway station.. boy sold stolen mobile phones in palika bazaar and the girl was from kathak kendra..
now i can’t.. when i eventually signed the contract, i signed it over to them..
idea did begin with him.. but just the idea..
first it was tishu who developed it then i wrote it as a script.. what shaad said was the truth but that was the only truth he said..
i fondly called it “the usual suspects” of love stories
hmmm…b4 the release…nobdy had ne clue abt this one…after the release when a friend called n told me,i cud not belive n then next day smsd u when cud nt get it confrmd from anywhere….it was a big shock…though havent seen the film yet…n lesat intrsted
n dear mr vasan…tu sangam mail ka acchar daal raha hai kya…kya karnewala tha yaad hai…aur phir bolega publicly kyun maar raha hai…
way to go anurag!! …please never bow down to anyone’s dictats.i am so dead sure noone else can do as much justice to your scripts as you can yourself…
vasan has the hand written script which he was to post on PFC..
vasanabalaaaa…..baal baal noch lunga tere… bus chaar baal,chaar baal rah jayenge..ya KK ko bulaon kya….
yaar we need to start publishing released scripts… anyone wanna blog about this and start this movement of publishing Bollywood scripts?
oz…we should…but hwo…
let No Smoking Release and will publish the firat and the final draft on PFC
sorry it’s not firat.. first and final draft
the problem with publishing scripts is
that the writers dont really have copyright for them . moreover most films have more than one writer …andthats not as if one draft is written and then rewrites are written by another writer …its more of a collaboration of screenplay writer(s) and dialogue writers..(a system i have nevr understood, what th ehell is a dialogue writer??) …which is why most scripts are crap….a case of too many cooks..
Phoenixnu is typing the hand written script and posting it……Phoenixnu seeya tomo with the script
i always knew you spoke your mind …..
but this was….!!!!!!
“do you want to fuck Kay Kay.. he is married but one can still try..”
for once you should have thought of Kay Kay as well…hhehee…
“they made chak de.. so it
Anurag, I wanted to ask you an hypothetical question for some time now, if YRF offers a film scripted and directed by u with them not interfering in any of the process and tell u that its ur baby, u decide ur cast and crew everything, would u take that offer??? (as there r no permanent friends and enemies) just curious to know…..:d
maruramu..given the conditions you said .. i absolutely would have done a film for yashraj.. i even tried to get them to produce no smoking.. my issue with them is that they are in a position to successfully do what we are trying so hard to do..i.e. bring a change…
but today i don’t need them nor does all those filmmakers who really wanted to do cinema that was different from yashraj..
turtle i liked chak de.. on this platform we all love cinema.. one good film and i will forgive five bad ones..
hey anurag, did you get to check my trailer ?
yaar i emailed you my address for the dvd. im trying to ask at every video store but they have new ones. im waiting to watch NS.
hey anurag,
what if RGV offers you to write a script for him…will you? and what if he tells you to direct it as well…will you?
sir i hav this idea of ///an isane man trying for acting/// how wud u rate this idea out of 10, u l b calling me stupid but i just want 2 see where my imagination has reached so far bcoz probably the only thing which i enjoy is thinking/////// il be waiting for d response till then///
hey ricky, last time i was at RGV’s office, there was this guy who told me that anurags version of SHOLAY rocked but RGV scraped it. He is so blindfolded with Amitabh (his saving grace) that he is unable to see beyond him. I personally feel Anurag shouldnt waste his time writing for RGV at this point of time till RGV comes back to his senses. Honestly, Anurag had a long wait.. he should be making great movies now & write for people who value his talent.
sundeep,
even i’m aware of that story…i had asked the same to anurag but he did not reply…
let him answer this one…by the way what were you doing at RGV’s office…putting some sense into him??
Anurag, like u said YRF is not the be all and end all….after all the new wave has already begun with other new players ready to takeover… I sincerely hope that this sustains….
I think RGV should remake Ramayana now!! haha! Yeah, Ramakanth and his wife Satya have shifted to Mumbai along with Ramakanth’s younger brother Lucky. They were thrown out of their house by their father as Ramakanth’s step mother played some dirty politics.
Now they move into a middle class colony in Mumbai. Local goons once tease Satya and Lucky gives them a sound trashing. Ramakanth admonishes his brother.
But then, one day Akha Mumbai ka don, Rambo’s eyes fall on Satya. He is disturbed day and night by the thoughts of Satya.
Unable to control himself, Rambo kidnaps Satya…
Now Ramakanth cannot control himself. He builds a small gang of followers and with the help of his brother (Deseperado Style), attacks Rambo and gets back his wife!
HAHA! Superhit! Should be directed by RGV and written by Anurag Kashyap!
Ramakanth: Ajay Devgan
Lucky: Prashant Raj
Rambo: Amitabh Bachchan
Action: Peter Hain & Allan-Amin
Music: Harris Jayaraj
Any guesses who RGV will cast as “Satya”?
Nisha Kothari ofcourse. :d
Ricky if RGV asks me i will write anything but on my conditions.. i was suppose to write sholay.. i had my version.. i suggested AB play gabbar.. again for personal reasons i dropped out..
Machchar- RGV has never slapped anyone in his life.. not even a machchar..
Anurag: Thanks for the reply. BTW, how did you like RGV ka Ramayan? Picture chalegi?
Magik: Spot on brother! haha! Behind every man’s success is a woman. Ramu only had one woman like that and it was Urmila, the rest have been bhenji’s picked up from the slum. I see Urmila as “Satya” though…she would be perfect!
@ Machchar “rest have been bhenji
Cy bhai…tujhe kya dard hora hain?
btw, whatever I said was not vulgar?
Anurag,if you say you suggested to RGV that AB play Gabbar then what about AB’s oft-repeated remarks in the media that he had this urge and first preference to play Gabbar ever since Sholay was scripted..
ask him krysh.
as far as i know it took some time for RGV to convince him .. that was when he had just announced the film with abhishek and him but not sure who was doing what.. AB was to be thakur then..
Point taken,that means AB for some peculiar reasons had been playing to the gallery literally!
“Ramu only had one woman like that and it was Urmila..!”
Aah that reminds me of some thing..
The transition of Urmila from Rangeela to Daud to Satya made me wonder if the song in Satya was not penned for vidya but Mam U
“ek baar tumko jab baraste paaniyoN ke paar dekha tha
yuN laga tha jaise gungunaata ek aabshaar dekha tha”
— Started with Drohi or Probably Rangeela
“tab se meri neeNd meiN barastee rahtee ho
boltee bahut ho aur haNstee rahtee ho”
“Daud” towards U started..
and then
“dekho yuN khule badan, tum
dekho yuN khule badan gulaabi saahiloN pe aaya na karo, tum
namak bhare samundaroN mein is tarah nahaaya na karo”
(Is there a Rangeela Reference as the above lines are complete misfit for Vidya of Satya..
and the Request? )
Realisation : “Pyar Tune Kya Kiya”
and then the outcome : “Ek Haseena Thi”
After effect :
“Ye mujhe kya ho gaya”
anurag,
thanks for the reply…
correct me if i’m wrong, but wasnt it RANDEEP HOODA who was supposed to play gabbar then…soon after EK got shelved RGV was keen to have him play the role…he even started preparing for the role…true or false?
hey ricky, dont get me wrong it was just my pov. well i was at RGV’s office in jul 05. It was Anurag who introduced me to RGV. Initially RGV offered me chief AD for shabari but i opted for sholay. (honestly i wanted to meet RGV & make a film (my own script) for factory. But the moment i met him something inside me was screaming not to work with him. im glad i decided not to work with him coz i told him clearly that i didnt want to assit anyone.
in 06 i wrote a script CALL CENTER which i went to show it to Anurag. he liked it & helped me reach an actor but unfortunately the actor declined after 7months & my producers thought that the movi will sell only if he is there. It was at that time i took another script to RGV, he wanted me to leave it with his script dept. but Anurag cautioned me never to leave scripts like that unless registered & i listened to him. few months later i went to meet a friend at factory. he told me about how good Anurags script was.
i really dont think anyone can put sense into someone who lost it.!
sundeep,
point taken!
[-(
well the incidence is funny but doesn't sound real and it looks like people here in this site are your die hard fan because they follow your every word.
good. you can become a Baba. Anurag Baba (only in PFC).
looking forward for No Smoking.:)>-
Phew.. !! That was an incidence man…
Well Anurag this world is full of such dumb people.. sometimes I just pity on such characters.. what makes them so blind ???
And yeah the slap – Cherry on the cake
Just take it as “how dare you said what me wife was thinkin when i don’t dare confess that to myself .. S-L-A-P”
Anurag,
Why bother with people like YRF?So many corporate players in the market today with big bucks to cater to the national obsession of movies & cricket.Why not target them? Then u can go ahead & make the kind of films u want to. And there will always be people like me watch them.
thats the one of thebest pieces of real life incident i have ever read and that also in such a satiristic way.
So you are a writer & of course this kind of sounds like a script you thought of in a hurry. To be honest I have always appreciated the kind of work you do but this story/incident is kind of difficult to digest & surely would flop if you are contemplating weaving a script around this.
Please keep up the good work as always & dont digress. It will be a pity
hi mr. kashap couple of days back came accross pfc site. just read ur who the fuck….. blog
it was interesting… i must say shit people are there like the couple.not that ther are bad but the way they think.
i like ur work i really liked black friday, n/s was diffcult to under stand, some of the blogers of pfc say u have to watch n/s 2/3 times then u will understand it, but i feel if u dont understand film in 1st screening then its not worth watching.but iam sure that in the future u will make films that the blogers dont have to watch 2/3 times to understand them. ofcource they will watct them 2/3 times to enjoy the film.
i saw b/f in pune inter. film fest.
then saw it many a times when it was relised
i have paanch’s adieo casset. looking forwared to its release.
just as looking forwared to hanuman returns/ gulal.
chalo bye cheers…..
:d:d did this really happen with u ?? I can say KK menon is becoming a hot property among females…!! Congrats KK……
Yipee Yahoooo , Yipee Ahayyy …. and all my pains and troubles fade away ….
The spelling Bee was ingenious … Why don’t you write shit like this for real ?
This aint pretentious … This feels like its real … A character study …
1. There’s contrast between the characters
2. Then the Transformation
3. Climax
4. Denouement …
What more can one ask for ? Good writing …
AK …i love you.
Black friday is a masterpiece.
No smoking is no less,and i am certainly aware of the criticism and drubbing that it recieved.But i would like to state that,lovers of your films are there for you to continue taking such good movies.We are always with you…just saw No Smoking for the second time now….where do i get ur email id???
frankly speaking i havnt hv seen any of ur movies bt heard lot bout u… m js here readin ur blog coz i saw ur interview on ndtv about ur life n being an abuse survivor… now being involved in an ngo wrkin for dis cause i really appriciate ur help to spread awareness n nay kind of help as per ur convinience…it’ll b gr8 if v cn hv ur email id or anythg where v cn contact or send more info about our projct.. thnx
