The powerful finale from Greed, my favorite film]. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. 15th Kolkata Film Festival Starts. The 15th Kolkata Film Festival. Started today with the opening film, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I didn't go to see it as it is available on DVD and easily accessible. It is a part of an interesting series of films though - films by contemporary directors on World War II. All these films are from 2008 and 2009 and promise the 'outside view' on the war. Links to this post. This is the 13th...

Both the films were on my 21st Century TSP list and I watched them sequentially by co-incidence. Links to this post. Thursday, May 20, 2010. It is a great piece of art. I don't think it is possible to depict the concept of faith any better than this movie has done and thus I give it a rating of 10/10. This movie is timeless. Links to this post.

The powerful finale from Greed, my favorite film]. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Barfi's Real Star is Jhilmil. The biggest mistake in life is to make no mistakes." - Said during the narration in Barfi. In the first 45 minutes or so of Barfi, there are just a few glimpsed of Jhilmil, the character Priyanka Chopra plays. You can say that she is conspicuous by her absence. In the one substantial scene in this period, where Jhilmil is shifting homes, you can see that she is n afraid, timid girl. People are ...

The powerful finale from Greed, my favorite film]. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Road To Sangam - Best Gandhi Film I have seen. This review contains no spoilers*. I went to watch Road to Sangam. Which were carried out promptly by his followers. What I did not understand was that it was the power of Gandhi's thoughts which made people act the way they did. It had reason, it had logic. The film has many layers to it. It is a film which asks 'what defines Karma. The pace of the movie is neither fast, nor slow&#...

The powerful finale from Greed, my favorite film]. Monday, January 23, 2012. Tree of Life and Why I Loved It.

Even 12-18 months before it was released, people were talking about what it might be. And then, it is absolutely be...

The powerful finale from Greed, my favorite film]. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. The latest masterpiece from Iran, Asghar Farhadi's A Separation. Shows how terribly complex the Iranian society is. In that, it is honest and true. Not every one would be interested in what happens in Iran though. What makes this film great is that it could have been a story about Kashmir or Afghanistan or even late 18th century France before the French Revolution. The second, more poorer family shown has the man very agitated ...
