Back2Back: Review Corner

PK Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani? Well, ideal expectation is a cinematic swagger. The end product is almost perfect, but isn’t the Christmas cake with all cherries and pies though. What made other Raju films strike a chord with audience (Munnabhai, Lage Raho, 3 Idiots) was them being very close to reality and yet deliverContinue reading “Back2Back: Review Corner”

Saturday Corner: Finding Fanny

Rustic characters, naive intentions, fake prejudices, 5 human beings treading a path of nullified emotions, desires and smallness.

The lengthy golden traits, the exquisite sightsContinue reading “Tale of four cities”

I probably have too many things under the platter but chose to exclaim while others decide amongst themselves. Leaders on a prowl as the nation await yet another swagger from our elected blade. Not a greatContinue reading “Random, again.”

Nation’s Notion: Review – Midnight’ Children (A Deepa Mehta Film)

As a nation, we have transcended and befell before rising amidst tumultuous weathers. Freedom in 1947 is alright, but the transition was as beleaguered as the nation itself that was standing amongst perennial ruins. The sacrifices were largely destructive; the indelible impressions of such are still fighting the storms, till date. Deepa Mehta dwells IndiaContinue reading “Nation’s Notion: Review – Midnight’ Children (A Deepa Mehta Film)”
