Tiller
Wet soil; ignored toil; Sweat dripping from the tiller’s forehead; bloodied by the uproar of a progress he is never invited to be part of Continue reading Tiller

Bored…? Be Unconventional…. Break the monotony
The other day as I was driving to Lunch I saw a guy with a Board advertising some rental properties…. A usual scene when you drive through the bay area… most of the time you see people standing with the boards shaped like an arrow pointing to the location of the rental properties… and most times their instructions are to never stand still and always … Continue reading Bored…?

But some specific scenes like doing Namaz … Continue reading Vishwaroopam – Nothing Great and Nothing much to Protest and BAN
Race 2 – Actors trapped in the director’s Labyrinth
Had no plans to watch Race-2 in the theaters…. but had no choice when the person at the ticket counter said there are no tickets for Vishwaroopam… We had liked Race 1 and so decided to give this a try…. It was a $7.50 ticket instead of the usual $14 so can’t complain much… The movie has some great action sequences and some nice twists … Continue reading Race 2 – Actors trapped in the director’s Labyrinth

Ranjan Pramod was the script writer who brought us Meesamadhavan, Achuvinte Amma, manassinakkare etc… all beautifully crafter movies that had a new and unique way … Continue reading Ranjan Pramod – The Moonga Song and Rose Guitarinaal
Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola
Now I know how Shahid Kapoor learned to dance…. It is in his genes… he got it from his dad…. Pankaj kapoor can not only act…. he is also a good dancer… a natural…. Watched Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola over the weekend…. Good picture…. well done… though there were few moments when I felt it to drag…. But the performance of Pankaj Kapoor keeps … Continue reading Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola
