So there is some news for Madhuri Dixit fans out here (for everyone almost, I’d say). It’s being made by filmmaker and theater director Krishna Shah who claims to have been writing the movie for the past 23 years now and wants to bring it on screen within two years. The movie will be in [...]

I had huge expectations. They didn’t get fulfilled. But I saw a good movie. I think that was my mistake when I went to see Kurbaan. I wanted things to be perfect, but expecting perfection from a debutant director is not always a good idea. Still, the movie is overall good and in some places [...]
This is a cashless world. Or as some people say it more intellectually, this is a Plastic world. Well, yes, if people like me who possess no Credit cards and not even a flashy Visa Electron or something debit card, roaming with just an SBI Maestro survive without cash in most places, the world is [...]
So here is the new controversy for Kurbaan. The song, Ali Maula, sung by Salim Merchant, is found controversial (like everything else related to any religion in India) and as per report, Bombay High Court has issued a notice to the makers of the movie after a Muslim group filed a PIL claiming that the [...]
Mostly I write reviews to tell people about good music. But there are instances when I have to write to warn people about the things to refrain from. And today is one such day. So here is this album called Raftaar that I somehow managed to convince myself to listen to once. And the result [...]
Movie calendar is something that always keeps on changing. For example, Pritish Nandy Communications and Percept were in doubt whether they should put their award winning movie Raat Gayi Baat Gayi for releasing on 11th December or not as there were Ishqiya, Dulha Mil Gaya, and Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year releasing on the same date. After [...]
A wonderful song sung by Amitabh Bachchan. The lyrics and music of the song are wonderful, but the credit is taken away by Amitabh Bachchan for his superb singing. I guess it’s his best song ever. Here are the lyrics as I got them. meri jaan teri hai mere paa meri maa teri hai mere [...]
Paa is an album I had been long waiting for. No, it’s not something that you would be humming after listening to it once and forget by the next month. It’s something that will take its own time, to come as well as to go. One important thing about the album is that while Ilayaraaja [...]
How to make a good movie? One of the first requirements of a movie is a good story. Though there are film makers who have the talent to make a movie worth a watch even with an okay script, not every one can do that. And Kunal Deshmukh is not that great. At least not [...]
Yes, it’s 14th November. And while I was in the Fame multiplex to see Tum Mile, I decided to take a look at the CBFC certificates of all running movies lying in a corner. It had some 4 movies in different languages, Hindi, English and Malayalam that is. And out of these four, there was [...]

I know many people would be wondering what Ishqiya means. I was in the same situation until I happened to see the trailer of the movie. And as far as I can see from here, Ishqiya is not a word. It’s not a noun, pronoun, adjective or verb. Ishqiya is a replacement. Yes, Ishqiya’s trailer [...]
Reports say that court has declared Madhur Bhandarkar guilty in five year old rape case. Now that the decision comes right after the release of his movie Jail, people are joking that Madhur has been prophetic in releasing Jail at this time. Some of my Twitter friends even said he should have made Court or [...]

The story of buying Dilli to Pagal Hai (DTPH) is interesting. I was in the Bangalore Book Festival, which is running from 6th to 15th November, 2009. I had been through the bookfair and was tired, having a plain Dosa and Appy while my friend told me that we had bought total 13 books. And [...]
