Padmavat(i) is an ugly, repulsive and distasteful anti-Invasion narrative that leaves you Appalled and insulted as a Human being

Yes you read the title correct; Padmavat(i) is an ugly, repulsive & distasteful anti-Invasion narrative that leaves you appalled & insulted as a Human being. The movie starts with a lot of disclaimers including that used specifically when you use names of people living or dead and want to have your own narrative using them or when you specifically think idiots might start crying and … Continue reading Padmavat(i) is an ugly, repulsive and distasteful anti-Invasion narrative that leaves you Appalled and insulted as a Human being

Weekend Movie Review – Qarib Qarib Singlle and Ittefaq

Last weekend I watched two Hindi movies “Qarib Qarib Singlle” and Ittefaq. One is a Romantic Comedy Road Drama and the other a Whodunnit? Thriller. Ittefaq (coincidence) inspired by the 1969 film by the same name stars Sidharth Malhotra, Akshaye Khanna and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles. I like Akshaye and he has been selective in his roles and has an intensity that a character … Continue reading Weekend Movie Review – Qarib Qarib Singlle and Ittefaq

Shreelancer – The big meaningful existence of indie film captured on a small canvas tuned to a large screen

Movies for the majority is entertainment, and then there are some who look at it for its making, the aesthetics, the technicalities and a whole lot of other factors which appeal to them in a graded value graph. If I see a movie because I was impressed by the director’s previous work, I go with both an expectation and a devil’s eye to compare. And … Continue reading Shreelancer – The big meaningful existence of indie film captured on a small canvas tuned to a large screen

For Big Ideas to catch on they need Short Films more than Big Names

How does change happen? It happens in many ways but the most powerful in my opinion is when you can create a glimpse that give people a long vision into the future. That is exactly what the young film maker John Samuel has achieved through his 90 second micro short film ‘Allagi’. ALLAGI is a Greek word and means the CHANGE or shift or transition. … Continue reading For Big Ideas to catch on they need Short Films more than Big Names

The Big Kahuna Final Monologue Text and Video

I always think about The Big Kahuna and this final monologue…… Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.

I dedicate this Post to our Pathu – 2017 National Film Awards

This is a revised post on the 2017 National Awards. Yesterday I wrote a post on the National Awards and in the process a irreversible blunder surfaced. I did a blog saying Sonam Kapoor won the Best Actress. And I did not realize it until some friends noticed it on Facebook and politely told me instead of actually (as they should have) tearing me apart. So first … Continue reading I dedicate this Post to our Pathu – 2017 National Film Awards

Hindi movie Irada with Naseeruddin and Arshad Warsi

Irada is a new Hindi thriller feature film that released on Feb 17th. Watched it yesterday. The main incentive as always having Naseeruddin in the lead. It also stars Arshad Warsi and I have also liked him in non-comic roles, especially his Sehar in 2005. It is interesting that he never got serious roles after that. The movie was directed by Aparnaa Singh and produced by … Continue reading Hindi movie Irada with Naseeruddin and Arshad Warsi
