धुरंधर नावाचा चित्रपट पाहिल्या नंतर...

“When the storytelling goes bad in a society, the result is decadence.” - Aristotle 

तुमच्या विचारांचा, विचारधारेचा प्रसार, प्रचार करणारे चित्रपट. 

Cinema is a mass medium and it's no surprise if people loaded with political ideology or loyal political organizations use it to serve their purpose. 

संवाद करणे माणसाची मूलभूत गरज पण प्रचार करणारा माणूस हा संवाद करणाऱ्या माणसापेक्षा वेगळा आहे. 

संवाद साधणारे चित्रपट आणि प्रचार करणारे चित्रपट त्यामुळे वेगळे. 

प्रचार हा अघोरी संवाद असतो … काही ठराविक उद्दिष्टे डोळ्यासमोर ठेवून केलेला संवाद - हा एका बाजूनेच केलेला संवाद असतो… या मध्ये ऐकणाऱ्याला, पाहणाऱ्याला आपल्या बाजूने वळविण्याचा प्रयत्न असतो… 

संवाद जितका प्रचारकी तितके त्याचे कला मूल्य - जीवन मूल्य  कमी होत जाते…

The poetry in ZNMD certainly gives philosophical touch to the film Effective, extensive and exact usage of the poems and poetry recitation is quite a rare phenomenon in Hindi films. Largely filmmakers prefer poetry in the form of songs and hardly anyone thinks that poetry recitation can be used as an effective technique in the film. Indeed the poems in the film take the film to another level but my question here is, do really characters and their respective journeys in the film reach to the level of the messages which poems emanate? Do the characters in Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara inhale the same air which its p...

Recipe of a South Indian blockbuster

Umpteen number of cuts, too many and manifold kinds of transitions, convulsing camera angles, usage of all sorts of sound effects, foot tapping electric numbers, choreographed calisthenics, lyrics full of slang words, gimmicking-over-the-top fight sequences, storyline filled with a bit of revenge - a bit of romance – a bit of humour, a glamdoll, an overpowering villain and omnipresent-omniscient-omnipotent superstar hero

Dear Godfather...

Image
U were different. It was ur first crime but when u killed those bastards, I felt the act was justified. U fled; u betrayed me. U married that Sicilian gal, I kept on understanding u. U came back, took over the business, convinced me, massacred ur enemies - n again the act was justified. U killed your bro-in-law and dared to became Godfather of Connie’s child... So I asked u the ‘Truth’ and u said its not true. Dear Godfather Michael Corleone, I love u and I hate myself for not being able to hate u… I am ur audience, u can call me Kay.
