RDB was out of the race. But ‘Water‘ is in the final list of nominees. Sad that India couldn’t have it in its name. But still a reason to cheer. Fire and Earth were classics. Looks like the last movie in the trilogy is an absolute winner. Waiting for February 23rd when the movie will be […]

My favourite movie for the last year ‘Rang De Basanti’ is out of the race for the Oscars in the “Best Foreign Feature Film” category.
‘Water’ is in the shortlist of the 9 films that will be considered for the nominations. It is still in the race for the final award. I don’t know why it is called a […]

We sent Paheli to the oscars last year ahead of a few classics like Black, Swades, Hazaaron khwahishen aisi and I showed my dissappointment here.

Wisdom prevails. Rang […]

Me and my in-laws have booked to go to satyam theatre for First day first show of “Sillunu oru kadhal“. If I am to go by what The Hindu says here, then I am doomed! It seems to be a gender-changed remake of Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
Surprisingly, The Hindu contradicts itself.
1. The movie review […]

Hrishikesh Mukherjee died on 27th August 2006. A void in the film industry that cannot be filled has been created. If I call him one of the all-time best directors, I will not be wrong. Though the movies he made during ‘my’ time were largely innane and thoroughly out-of-sync with sensibilities of today, his earlier […]

Rang De Basanti 
When your tagline says, “A generation awakens”, it means serious business. A great dream and a very high aim for yourself. This “sms generation” for whom anything beyond four lines is a lecture, you are presenting a two hour forty minute dawdle. I am surprised that it’s been accepted so well. But since […]
