Some films take a long time to hit the screens. Resultantly, the story appears obsolete, the gags fall flat and the outcome, therefore, lacks fizz
Is HUM TUM SHABANA a present-day adaptation of David Dhawan’s immensely likeable DEEWANA MASTANA? That’s what a lot of people seem to be asking me online. Call it a coincidence, but two guys chasing one girl isn’t new to Hindi movies.
Earlier, those revolting against the negative forces would seek shelter in the jungles. But, over a period of time, more and more films with urban themes started getting made and the new poster boys of the have-nots were born and raised in slums and chawls. SHABRI, directed by Lalit Marathe, tells the story of a gangster from the slums
Dinner table, bed, traffic signal, lounge, multiplex, saloon – These and many more places are what formed various settings for me to read and complete ‘First Day First Show’.
Almost two decades ago, a number of people had reservations when Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film ROJA was being dubbed into Hindi. The purists were of the opinion that the essence would be lost in the process. When released, ROJA was hailed by the Hindi speaking audience as well.
A week or two ago, while surfing the TV channels, I chanced upon this immensely enjoyable Govinda starrer that was being telecast for the umpteenth time. Despite the fact that I had watched it time and again, I decided to watch it yet again, complimenting and applauding Govinda’s natural act and comic timing in the movie. That Govinda is a fabulous actor cannot be denied
Okay, superhero films are the flavor of the season. The super-success of KRRISH and the tremendous hype for RA.ONE only reiterates this fact
Many film-makers in the West have focused on the closeted gay, an unassuming person who likes to remain in the shadows. Similarly, a lot many films have captured the trauma and anguish of the bereaved parents when their child is no more. MEMORIES IN MARCH [English; with generous usage of Hindi and Bengali] is not just about the relationship between gay lovers, but also looks at the suffering and pain a mother goes through when her son dies in a road accident
Hindi cinema is going through a major metamorphosis. Innovative ideas and fresh stories are being developed and executed by Gen X storytellers. BHEJA FRY director Sagar Ballary also tries to attempt something different from what he attempted in his maiden attempt

A lot of us who’ve grown up on masala cinema of 1970s and 1980s will vividly recall two films made on ichhadhaari naagins – Rajkumar Kohli’s NAGIN [1976] and Harmesh Malhotra’s NAGINA [1986]. Can we ever forget the revenge of the naagin?
It set me thinking as reel after reel of Gurinder Chadha’s IT’S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE unspooled. We [the Bollywood reviewers/critics] are extremely harsh on films produced on hometurf. We go hammer and tongs after these film-makers, as if they have committed a crime that they cannot be absolved of.
An Aparna Sen film is always special.
Generally speaking, a film starring relative newcomers and helmed by a first-time director comes with zilch expectations. And if the film in question happens to be a suspense-thriller, the debutante director has to walk a tight rope. One false step and chances are he’d fall on his face
One of my childhood memories is that of several relatives visiting us in Mumbai [presumably for a few days], but overstaying their welcome. Those days, the atithis were never looked upon as ‘intruders’. Times have changed! If you live in a metropolis, if your spouse and you work round-the-clock and have commitments to honour, any extra person – other than those living with us or is part of our day-to-day schedule – is strictly unwelcome.
