The more elusive is the portrayal of Mumbai, the greater becomes the inquisitiveness to garner more about this talked about city in India, and contagiously, the world is equally famished for this provocatively charming hub of social and political interference. ‘Dhobi Ghaat’ resurfaces as yet another depiction of intermingling human relationships and conflicting diversified inContinue reading “Mumbai: Common man’s penchant for paradise”

De-biographically, evolution has been enchanting!
A submissive kid used to be once quite and submerged in self confessed union. He was, reluctantly part of a regular ‘pada’ football match and was oblivious of the concurrent events that was going to change his life. He caught hold of the pervasive ball like ‘Eknath Solkar’ but to his dismay, he was ridiculedContinue reading “De-biographically, evolution has been enchanting!”
As a decade comes to an end and another journey commences..
I wish all my quantified readers, a delightful, accomplishing and sedate 2011!
‘Manmadhan Ambu’ – Vivaciously yours, Kamal Haasan!
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..!!??”
