K-I-S-S: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
By Bob Ellis on March 4th, 2010
We don’t hear so much about this now, but not too long ago in history it was common for nations to pay off annoying or threatening groups to leave them alone. One of the more well-known and relatively recent example of this was when European nations and even [...]
Warner Bros production Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? is based on Sharad Joshi’s novel Tum Kab Jaoge Atithi. While going to watch this film, do remember that it is not a madhouse comedy like Priyadarshan’s or David Dhawan’s. It takes you there slowly and subtly, bringing home the message.
Puneet (Ajay Devgan) is a scriptwriter who’s landed [...]
Now, don’t get confused. This one is nothing like Ram Gopal Varma’s Vivek Oberoi-Antara Mali starrer Road or John Hillcoat’s The Road here.
Having wooed the audiences with films like Split Wide Open and English August, director Dev Benegal in his Road, Movie takes his viewers for yet another ride that one isn’t likely to forget [...]
SOTD:
The song is on repeat mode for me since yday. This is from film Anarkali (1953). The following is an excellent piece on the movie and songs..
Excerpt…
With flashback treatment, it begins at the tomb of Anarkali near Agra against a song that casts its magic with its sheer poetry: “Zara adab se chal ai baad-e-saba, [...]
Patiala House, which Akshay Kumar is currently shooting at Film City, will shortly move to the outdoors of London. And with good reason.
Akshay Kumar plays a cricketer from London. A bowler to be more precise. The cricket sequences, according to director Nikhil Advani, will be shot at the best and biggest stadiums of London. [...]
A beautiful “Kajri” by Rasoolan Bai.
===========================
Kajari (Hindi: कजरी), derived from the Hindi word Kajra, or Kohl, is a genre of Hindustani classical music singing, popular in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar . It is often used to describe the longing of a maiden for her lover as the black monsoon cloud come hanging in the summer [...]
New Delhi, Feb. 25: The Centre and the capital’s political establishment are cool to Qatar’s move to honour M.F. Husain as a national, with no formal statement on the possibility that the artist might have to give up Indian citizenship if he accepted the offer.
India does not allow dual citizenship though it has instituted a [...]
‘The Hurt Locker’ has dazzled cinephiles and critics alike, and is a favorite for best picture and best director at March 7’s Oscars. But a crucial group remains less than enchanted with the film about the Iraq War: veterans.
At first glance, The Hurt Lockerlooks all right. The setting seems accurate, the acting is solid, and [...]
This is about the recent discussion on copyright law modification for songs. Abzee had put a post here on NG the other day but I could not find it anymore, maybe he deleted it. So I am copy pasting the comment which he made on another blog (Satyamshot) on the issue. I would like [...]

The whole of the week gone by has had the trade people talk about just one thing – whether Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan is a hit or a flop and whether its box-office collections have been bigger than those of Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots.
Although comparisons are not fair [...]
Sachin Tendulkar slammed his 46th ODI century leading India to a strong 200 run-mark in the second ODI against South Africa in Gwalior. Tendulkar reached the mark in 90 balls with 13 fours.
It was a poor start for India as Virender Sehwag departed after scoring mere nine runs.
Earlier, Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss [...]
My Name Is Khan grossed an excellent 8 crore nett on day one as per early estimates. The film lost around 2.25 crore nett business on day one due to the problems in Maharashtra and a couple of other places where it was unable to get a clean release. The biggest losses were in Mumbai [...]
This film was not screened in advance for North American critics. Here are excerpts of a review from Reuters in India:
‘My Name Is Khan” is a very average, ordinary film that goes haywire. Racial biases, the aftermath of 9/11 and the war on terror are dicey topics to handle in real life, let alone on [...]
