Kaminey : Isko Dekho!

Are there any good people around? If there are, they should not watch Kaminey. The ones who should watch Kaminey are the people who like everything raw. Even the goodness! And good people would probably fall short of capacity on that count. There is a bit of Quentin Tarantino and hell lot of ...Read more

Bolt : A dog heart

If it wasn’t for the cat, the dog really wouldn’t have had his day and if it wasn’t for the TV, humans would never have turned their eyes away from reality. Much to do with canine and feline reality! That is ‘Bolt’ for you. Being true to its name, ‘Bolt’ keeps you fasten to your seats during ...Read more

Gulaal : A heady mix!

Political ambition at the cost of human aspiration. Forced acceptance in the wake of critical denial. Changing face of good to evil. Revolution, anyone? Gulaal is a stroke that makes you straighten up in your seats for want of more. (If at all there is anything missing in the movie is this wa...Read more

Dev D : As dark as it gets!

So, is it about love? Is it about intimacy? Is it about passionate self proclamation? Is it about pure, unadulterated lust? Is it about ‘halaat ki majboori’? Forget ‘The’ Devdas that has been written and portrayed so far by different filmmakers. Anurag Kashyap’s Dev D is just about one’s self...Read more

Aamir : Where cinema talks for itself!

Silence speaks volumes. However clichéd it may sound, at times you do experience it. Today, when I came out of the theatre after watching Aamir, I experienced it. There was a silence with me - unbearable, unthinkable, unwanted too because I could notice that it was disconnecting me with the worl...Read more

A Predictable Strike

This is the story of Kabir Khan, a disgraced Indian hockey team captain who shuts himself in his lone self, following accusations of being a traitor. Seven years of exile and the guy returns with the same hockey stick in his hand, not to play, but to teach. He takes charge as Indian women hockey...Read more

'Tailor' Made

Could this have been little better? Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes. By ‘this’ I mean ‘plot’.  Two strangers falling in love is not a bad idea. But we expect them to have a sense of immediacy and sanity when it comes to confessing their love. And yes, going little berserk is also fine, but what if they are n...Read more

Metro : Lost and Found?

I don’t know. Shekhar Kapur once said that these were the most creative words in the world. I agree to it. I agree to it because these words plainly, clearly state human limitations, which can give birth to outstanding creations. These words leave you in the jungle of human life and let you expl...Read more

Spiderman 3 - A clumsy crawl

It’s the girl who is trapped. It’s the hero who is trying to break it. It’s the villain who is motivated enough not to allow the hero succeed in his endeavor. It’s the audience, who KNOW that hero is going to win and they still stretch their faces in concern whether he would really win. It...Read more

Relationship Status : Fluid

What do we do with our questions about human relations? Run away? Confront? Smile at them? Destroy them? Look at them as if they are an alien entity? Or let them destroy us? And what happens to our relation? Existing and impending? What? Absurd? Or true? Boring or curiously interesting? 'D...Read more

Analyze it, your way!

All right. All right. Love happens. Love'actually' happens. No complaints. But aren't we supposed to be a vigilant witness and critic of all the'happenings' that just'happen' in our complex and irrepressible realm of mind? Especially when we are 60 and leading a life offering us all the comforts...Read more

I understand that not everybody would be aware of Party – a film made by Govind Nihalani in 1984. I have watched this movie many times and am not able to resist myself from penning down my thoughts and feelings. Life around us has many facets, as we all know. And each facet has its distinct i...Read more
