What is the definition of a good movie ? Is it about1 . Technique ?2 . Execution ?3. Story ?4. Screenplay ?5. All this and everything I forgot to mention.The answer according to me is none of the above ,it's when a movie kicks you in your guts so hard that you keep thinking about it all the way to your home and even after.The experience of watching “The Revolutionary Road “on Saturday was similar

The old monk rolling on the pavement.....empty to the last drop ,The Fountainhead half open ,last few pages missing .I try and shrug off the hangover as the street dog around the corner barks at me , and the reflection of the sun coming from the "chavannis" and "one rupee coins" blinds me .I am sleeping on some street ..... ,am homeless ?? ......I was mugged ?? or am I in my fucking dreams ??

Dilli-6(yes I will pronounce it like the desis do): Fucking awesome ,Rehman saab at his best again ,if a Rehman track is ever played in a quiz in front of me I am sure I will hit the buzzer first.my picks(in descending order): "arziyan" ,"ye dilli hai mere yaar" ,"masakalli" rest can be put in any order.Luck By Chance :Ah the SEL-Farhan combo again ,lovely soulful music ,reminds me of DCH ,it's

"opinions are like arseholes ,everybody has one"so here's mineA Walk to Remember :It's a tearjerker all right but I still like it like all other Romantic movies ,seen it three times already ,Mandy Moore looks de-glam and Shane West is convincing. But it's the plot which makes the movie ,I read the book as well(of the same name) within the next few days.10 things I hate about you :The print was so

I bought a Yamaha Gladiator Type SS 125CC about 4 months back ,and it's been the best decision I have taken in quite some time ,or at least I thought so until I had the misfortune of going to Yamaha's service center on Old Madras Road .First about the bike:The bike is a pleasure to drive ,gives about 50-55 kmpl on city roads if you drive it properly ,braking is effortless with the front disc

No this is not a review of the latest Subhash Ghai movie ,I haven't seen it and frankly don't intend to unless someone puts a gun to my head .anyways I was watching a video on VH1 today when one of my old classmate suddenly remarked "ye kali laundiya " (which in English translates to "that black girl), (the comment pertained to one of the singers in the video who happened to be of

Goddard said cinema is just 24 truths per second .Over the years I have been trying to find out what "good" or even "great cinema" is ,some kind of definition to start with and I have come to the conclusion that "good" or "great" motion pictures are ones that are honest ,one's that tug at your heartstrings ,that doesn't mean that good cinema must always be "senti" ,a comedy can also be honest and

1.I find it very odd when people talk while taking a leak ,I think in terms of physical pleasure it ranks only second to sex and only a notch above a good night's sleep ,so I wonder why people ruin it by discussing things such as work while they are at it.2.People standing with their asses faced towards you while traveling in a bus.There is always a risk of gas explosion plus it's never pretty.3.

Yesterday while flipping through the channels , I came across a documentary showcasing the famous doordarshan ads of yesteryears ,and the actors and artistes who worked on them, people who have now melted into oblivion.One of the ads was the "mera pyara rasna " ad , and as I saw it my mothers eyes lighted up ,taking her eyes off the vegetables which she was neatly chopping onto a "patila" , she
