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..”
Ravanan (Tamil Film) – A strong metaphor with finesse
I tend to exude towering expectations from Mani Ratnam, the maverick filmmaker and a phenomenal producer of acute congestive brains. ‘Ravanan’ lacks the usual punch of the master but still is a class act. The staggering curiosity slowly waned away and honestly, it is probably the slowest starter of all MR films that I haveContinue reading “Ravanan (Tamil Film) – A strong metaphor with finesse”
Raajneeti – A political saga sucked in to the realm of show business
Have you ever witnessed drama at the pinnacle of silver screen? If your answer is ‘No’, then ‘Raajneeti’ will fulfill your desire with aplomb. The crux of the story evolves from ‘The Mahabharata’. And why not? ‘The Mahabharata’ is unarguably one of the greatest political potboilers that has ever surfaced in the face of planetContinue reading “Raajneeti – A political saga sucked in to the realm of show business”
Kites – Flies high with style and melodrama
A film by Anurag Basu always invokes curiosity clubbed with expectation. And, usually, he delivers top notch. ‘Kites’ doesn’t disappoint. The film, primarily made to cater international audience, has strong overtones of a hollywood set up and the exquisite looks suggest the inevitable intentions of the producers. I would not talk about the script hereContinue reading “Kites – Flies high with style and melodrama”
‘Women’ – The epitome of imperious sustenance
They are probably the most unique and special class of human species. And every time I come across their exploits, they impress me to the core. Usually, in our spectrum of narrow minded inhabitants, we have always acknowledged and expected them to play second fiddle to man. And you can argue that in the wakeContinue reading “‘Women’ – The epitome of imperious sustenance”
Dismal T20 campaign raises inevitable eyebrows..
I have always vouched my opinion on this aspect of the game in a very strong and sedate manner. Today, I reinstate my conviction. Unanimously, I request our immensely talented and enthusiastic cricketers to stop indulging in the lousy business of T20 and focus on ‘Cricket’. Mind you, I am not trying to be aContinue reading “Dismal T20 campaign raises inevitable eyebrows..”
We dig the grave and accuse others of getting buried..
Khuda Ke Liye, Sarfarosh, Firaaq, Bombay, Gadar, My Name Is Khan, Mission Kashmir, New York, Shaurya, Rang De Basanti, Delhi 6, Veerzara, Hey Ram, Kurbaan, A Wednesday, Dus Kahaniyan. What do the above listed blockbusters have in common..?? What makes them much more staggering than mere dramatic sequences in the large repository of the tinsel town..?Continue reading “We dig the grave and accuse others of getting buried..”
Presentations could be juvenile yet vulnerable..
It is my firm conviction that presentations in any form, catering to a larger spectrum of the elite and educative crowd has it’s own charismatic influence in a very subtle yet appealing manner. Many might beg to differ, but my stand on this aspect of the competency remains unruffled. Presentations need not be very formal unless youContinue reading “Presentations could be juvenile yet vulnerable..”
IPL Diary – What a final!!
As Harsha Bhogle aptly conveyed the message: ‘The magnificent campaign of Mumbai and Sachin Tendulkar in IPL 2010 has come to an end.’ Without doubt, CSK were the superlative team of the day and fought back in to the tournament to take the title home. For me, the star for Chennai was Suresh Raina. HeContinue reading “IPL Diary – What a final!!”
Facing Ali – The Retrospective of A Great Champion!
I cannot term ‘Facing Ali’ as a biopic. Neither can it be considered as a documentary. For me, it is a narration of one of the most prolific and iconic figures in sporting history, from his most revered contemporaries who have witnessed and known ‘Muhammed Ali’ as a fighter, a sportsman, an ambassador and aboveContinue reading “Facing Ali – The Retrospective of A Great Champion!”
