For starters, this isn’t a Kamal film; it’s one of his usual gimmicks for a preparatory project before one of his magnum opus gets it’s financial dues. But it has glimpses of the Master and that is indicative of his relentless presence in MA. I have always been critical of his screenplay and provocatively, heContinue reading “‘Manmadhan Ambu’ – Vivaciously yours, Kamal Haasan!”

When God came down and thanked Centurion!
I agree that the innings defeat took the sheen off the humongous achievement of 50 test tons. Wow!! What are we talking about? How could a cricketer who is human ever achieve this milestone?? I am sorry, but did you say 50 test centuries?? Crazy man…!! Well, that’s exactly would have been the words utteredContinue reading “When God came down and thanked Centurion!”

Guzarish – An ethereal request and a sublime denial marks the jubilation of SLB’s classic
‘Guzarish’ has the quintessential class of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It also marks the return of the filmmaker after the obvious debacle of ‘Saawariya’ (I know he terms it as his most valuable work till date). Even before I begin, I would like to conclude: if ‘Black’ gave the much needed impetus to the credentials ofContinue reading “Guzarish – An ethereal request and a sublime denial marks the jubilation of SLB’s classic”
Flashback: Parzania – A story that leads to the glorious hell
If candy floss entertainment is your bane, then Parzania will be a very hard pill to swallow; I do not recommend it for those who are in a pretext to focus on the non-essentials. ‘Parzania’ is a heart wrenching tale of a middle class self satisfied yet open minded and suave family whose life comesContinue reading “Flashback: Parzania – A story that leads to the glorious hell”
Greatness. The ultimate prize of invaluable proportions..
When a legend talks, you realise that his legacy was not an outcome of yet another robust yet hard working day; it was a result of blood and sweat that lasted over a lifetime. When a legend talks, his speech has charisma and the way of his expressions exude panache. Those reverberating words of wisdom,Continue reading “Greatness. The ultimate prize of invaluable proportions..”
Enthiran – A robotic experience minus the class of Rajnikanth
Celluloid for me is separated by two visibly contagious stimuli: individuals who deliver powerhouse performances consistently to rank amongst the most versatile of their era; the second section belongs to those ethereal superstars who inspire generations with their larger than life persona and their charismatic exploits that keep the crowd glued to the screen forContinue reading “Enthiran – A robotic experience minus the class of Rajnikanth”
Inception – When dreams could be so menacing..
“Matt Davis (fictitious yet a possible derivation of the sub conscious mind) steals thoughts from the sub conscious mind of human beings; he portrays relevancy in depicting people as the primary protagonist to manipulate and conquer the variations inside the human brain. His is a fling to portray a world very different from our hemisphereContinue reading “Inception – When dreams could be so menacing..”
If at all we could think..!!??
I was passing through my routine exploration of this enigmatic planet when I came across a fact forgotten by our vehement statisticians who love to dissipate facts from fiction in a glorious manner ; this one was good enough to have me surprised and stunned at the same frame. How many of us realize theContinue reading “If at all we could think..!!??”

Lamhaa: A film by Rahul Dholakia – A sordid tale of battered souls
‘Kashmir’ isn’t about political turmoils anymore; it is a quicksand – the more your try to resolve and recuperate, the deeper you get sucked in to the bludgeon of fear, conspiracy and nepotism. ‘Welcome to the most dangerous place in India’ is a blatant statement with immense grit and dissipates humanity from religion. ‘Lamhaa’ isContinue reading “Lamhaa: A film by Rahul Dholakia – A sordid tale of battered souls”
The soccer pinnacle at it’s invigorating best..
The triumph becomes an alluring aspect of the extraordinaire when the protagonists live up to the expectations of the underdogs. The recently concluded ‘FIFA World Cup 2010’ had all those elements embedded in plenty. The Spanish juggernaut was irresistible as they impounded damage on the so called ‘indispensable’ to claim the title of world championsContinue reading “The soccer pinnacle at it’s invigorating best..”
