Anurag Kashyap’s Second Best!
What is common between Govind Nihlani, Shyam Benegal, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Mira Nair, Aditya Chopra? How are Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee different from these filmmakers? With the buzz now about 100 years of INDIAN Cinema (yep – let us get that one correct), and the buzz about the upcoming movie ‘Bombay Talkies’, I remember [...]
Satya and Ram Gopal Varma: Whose Truth is it Anyway?
Note- This is the 2nd part of my Satya story. The 1st part can be seen here. –> Disclaimer: There is a term called ‘The Rashomon Effect‘; in which observers of an event produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of ‘the truth’. So it is possible, that my truth, may differ from yours… 1997. [...]
Satya and Ram Gopal Varma: The Journey Begins Part 1
My name is Apurva Asrani. I am a film editor. My job profile includes receiving shooting rushes and putting together a cohesive film. I attempt to choose the most honest moments in the material to string together a tableau of scenes. I try to work at proper punctuation. i.e moving around silences, action, music and [...]
Dil Se… Sincerely
There have been blogs, haters, lovers, detractors, and saviors. To an extent even my father is not really fond of “Dil Se”. There was once a Mani Ratnam blogathon on MadAboutMoviez. And of course there were fans, there are fans including me. And there was once a discussion amongst us writers of this site, regarding [...]
Market Trends in Bollywood: Change is the only Constant!
One is what is being embedded in me through rigorous learning. The other is what I have embedded in myself through continuous unlearning.

At least in [...]

The Attacks of 26/11 – 7 mins of the opening sequence of RGV’s film on 26/11
RGV has been associated with a lot of absolutely pathetic films in the recent past. People were outraged to see him take a look around the places where the ghastly 26/11 attack took place. The outrage was partly due to the insensitivity he showed in thinking about making a film on the incident even when [...]

You are a kings daughter .. I don’t even have friends … You walk around wrapped in shawl… I dont even have a quilt… You come from gardens where koels dwell…. Only snow falls over here .. not a trace of green grass around…. How will you manage to stay here… not a ray [...]
Chak De ! Shimit
Bollywood fans usually divide directors in the industry into two categories – the Hit Machine: whose films are guaranteed good return on investments (Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty, Imtiyaz Ali, Raju Hirani) and the Flag Bearers of Offbeat Cinema( Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Bannerjee, Vishal Bharadwaj, Madhur Bhandarkar). Somehow I never see Shimit Amin fitting into either [...]
