DevD - Excellent! (Will definitely watch it one more time, next time UI!)

...and Kamal Haasan and Bala can learn from Anurag Kashyap how to *use* songs without butchering a sound track

Its bold, honest/"unoriginal" AND engaging...

The BGM is very good and yet will reassure die-hards why Raaja holds patents

Still thinking about the ending.... mathirukkalamo?

P.S: A section of the N.Indies crowd laughed at Chanda screaming (pleading) at her mom, "...I'm not going to s^&* every c!!$ that comes my way" :banghead: :hammer: ...

The start of the 3rd chapter "Dev D" with Abhay Deol in the metro and "Emossanal Athyachar" (rock version) is unbelievable. See it to believe it :notworthy:

[complicateur]

Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday. Boyle was obviously inspired by Kashyap's Bombay. Particularly evidenced by the chase sequences [the exceptionally drawn out chase of Imtiaz in the second chapter is quite lovely filmmaking. It is obvious that the editor had trouble leaving shots out].
Great music by Indian Ocean as well and the acting is excellent across the board. I am now looking forward to Dev D!

Yes LM. That is what prompted me to watch a DVD I had lying around for a year and a half - I wanted to see to what extent. What I intended to say was that his being influenced by the movie is quite understandable because it is quite impressive. Boyle uses more dutch angles I think, but some of the locations were almost deja'-vu inducing.

I don't really know about Hindi movies in general, but still am trying to watch 'em now. I just started and I would like to know some movies I could check out. I heard from Sudhir aNNA that Hazaaron Kwashiye Aisi is an awesome one, but I don't find it anywhere.

Nerd, I don't know where the problem lies. (Reg. your post on DevD)

Your lines are very true PR saar. And when I tell to my friends about LTTE, our common life et al they are puzzled. But Northies/ North-east people are basically in the same frame whatsoever unlike South Indians with weird ines of seperation. Movies again are diametrical though they seem to have some common thread. In some way we see them as aliens and vice-versa. :confused2: In a way, that is good and I believe both types fall under the same classes- The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Coming back... Hindi has gone to another level. It may be good or bad but I just don't have to give the kind of 'significant handicap' that one usually gives when comparing our films to waeld films.

yes, yes. RR is the more mundane version of Abirami. I am glad the movie eschewed the common cliches (I was half expecting Saurabh Shukla to emerge from Sadiya Siddiqui's house in the last scene), but there is only so much a film can lampoon TV serials. I mean, it has become such an easy target that it is not even funny anymore. I have watched Mithya and I would copy paste my Raghu Romeo comments. Save the first and last 30 minutes, the film was a bit of a drag and too sentimental. That said, I liked it better than Raghu Romeo, since it was darker. I understand the subtexts and layers in his movies (seach for morality in RR and questions of identity in Mithya), but I just think they aren't that great. Am watching MD today. Let me see how that turns out :D.

Gulaal - Pretty good. Very intense and extremely depressive. This perhaps is the most accessible kashyap film with a straight-forward narration. The film has multiple layers and sub-plots and most of them work. The film is superb till the last twenty minutes or so but the clumsy climax spoils the whole thing. Also the character development is flawed - either that or the editing spoiled it. Perforamances are superb except one or two. Kashyap has used his songs very well in this film too. DevD still stands as the best of 2009 and perhaps best of Kashyap :)

Hmm.. maybe you are right. Someone needs to start it. Maybe there is also still an element of conservativeness in our society.

[P_R]

I still thing it is largely the market size. i.e. the neeya-naane likers will be the same, if not larger proportion in the North Indies too. (curiously I have not seen any such program in indhi except in DD where some poor chaps who have been shepherded through Delhi winter into cardboard studios). Just that the population above (adhaan elitist-A pEsuradhunnu aagi pOcchulla) neeya naana population is itself quite huge. Bala maadhiri, market mechanicals therinjavanga innum elaborate paNNalaam.

[equanimus]

I agree with PR here, that Hindi film industry is catering to a much bigger market, a wider audience, and their filmmakers can afford to take greater risks than their Tamil counterparts.

However, I think we should give significant credit to the filmmakers too. We can't explain everything with market mechanics. Curiously, "multiplex audience" is used to explain away everything in this respect. What are the multiplex audiences really doing? They're just watching films "they like." I don't see any remarkable difference between them and other kinds of audience. For starters, they are just as self-serving. How cheerful are they really about films that challenge or unsettle their position as the audience? A film like Mixed Doubles didn't do as well as Bheja Fry did. No Smoking bombed big time, both commercially and critically. If you take last year, films like Mithya and Oye Lucky Oye Lucky Oye did not do very well really, while a Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na was a big hit. (Here I'm not qualititatively judging these films.) One can quite easily figure the kind of films that are almost sure to work in the "market." In other words, my point is some sort of "surefire" framework exists in the multiplex market too, just like anywhere else.

[VENKIRAJA]

Very true. Those people watched DevD (without subtitles, they didn't know Hindi as well) and were complaining that the movie is below average. They didn't enjoy our VKK too. ivingaLa vachikittu enna seyyuRadhu?

[P_R]

I have a question about costs too. Kind of mathematical question

If Tamil maket is only a fraction of the Hindi, actually Hinglish, market, then can't we have production costs a fraction of the Hindi production costs and make such films ? Related question, what is that fraction ?

I am inclined to think that even with a favourable fraction answering the above question, we may still not make the cut. Hence my resolve to just think of Hindi film as yet another foreign-language film and spare myself all this.

[Nerd]

what is that fraction ?

1/10000. Seriously, if you are making a DevD sort of film in thamizh, you would not be successful unless you market it as a soft-porn film. The only 'A' center (in its purest form) is sathyam (may be may be mayajaal) in Tamil Nadu. And there are so many of them in India that cater to Hindi films.

[kannannn]

No Smoking bombed big time, both commercially and critically.
A film like No Smoking couldn't stand in any market, mainly because of its inaccessible storyline. But the point is, the cumulative audience for independent films (including overseas market, which I believe is sizeable) is higher for Hindi films than Tamil films. Hindi films also have the advantage of not belonging to any region and belonging to all regions at the same time. This, I believe, greatly relieves the director from many creative constraints. This is not to say that market pressure is absent. It is only that such pressures don't deter production companies from continuing to finance independent movies since the overall risk is lower.

I don't think PR's point on cost is exactly right. The last couple of scenes in Raghu Romeo where he roams the streets of Mumbai crying inconsolably looked like they were shot with whatever lighting was available using a concealed camera (I may be wrong, but the film quality in those scenes was awful). I am sure they don't have the kind of cash a mainstream movie has access to.

revisited DevD....i watched it with my frnds first time around and lot of disturbance......i wanted to watch it alone,hence the second time........characterisation - heady stuff......paro character in this movie is the strongest "Female" character i have ever seen in indian celluloid - atleast in mainstream cinema.......promiscous village girl who desperately searches for a place for f**k with her childhood lover and carrying bed in cycle upto the fields - thalaya suthhara madhiri aaiduchhu :lol: and her revenge on Dev :bow: i just felt scenes leading upto intermission and climax were cinematic excellence......

Delhi-6 on DVD.........i remembered dhanush dialaak in polladhavan to karunas - enakku padam nalla illaingaradha vida, ivan ellam advice panra alavukku en nelamai aagi pocche-nnu dhaan feeling-a irukku......another dialogue i remember from vadivelu's famous "cards" scene - "dei unakku sathyama, padam edukka theriyumada?" :x to ROM........abhishek bachan - shabba---yen?? edhukku?? vittudu......sonam kapoor and rahman music were the only things that made me watch this movie till end........ :) //sonam-sema figure-baaa//

[MADDY]

hey, me too yaa :)

bala,

paro says - meine kabhi kuch mana kiya tumhe.....and then follows it up with "ehsaan maan mera ki...." and then drops off - which should mean they had something in between them but it couldnt have been as deep as intercourse.......

sunil is obviously bullshitting when he says, "abhi bhi bula rahi thi kamre mein" and "do din ke liye ut nahin raha tha, itna dukh raha tha( :lol: )" .....magnitude of the second lie is again our judgement......

but i get suspicious when paro keeps asking dev "kya kiya meine sunil ke saath" & "kuch nahin kiya us kuthhe ke saath"......and then mellows down to "sunil ne bola tujhe?" "kab bola"........

i think it must be something like kissing or "touching" but not sex.......given Dev is a hypocrite, he wants a "virgin" in all sense.......i think thats wat his dad summarises later in paro's marriage "pata nahin kaun si pari chahiye tumhe".....this is wat i understood, could be that paro is "genuine" and dev spoils it all by haste - could be......but i think that wud reduce lot of weight in paro's character.........

[Nerd]

Added to that in the Dev-Paro confrontation scene, Paro says, "tu karta sabh teekh our may karoo" which affirms the fact that Paro'd been sleeping around!

[P_R]

appidindreenga.... I thought the crux was Paro 'saving' herself for Dev and the such a thing going awry simply because all the effort goes waste as it can be destroyed by a simple slanderer (think Sita saving herself in Asokavanam .. all that effort for nothing). That makes her wildly angry. Dev is pretty much her world and to consider that he could be such a cad breaks her world. I see it as a "loss of innocence" moment.

Nerd, I think her comment was quite hypothetical. i.e. you did it but you think it wrong "IF" I do the same.

'Lletting' herself go is realizing Dev's worst nightmare and she makes the most out of that. Dev's father acknowledging Paro's beauty to Dev and the following line about the possibility he always nurtured is one of the most heart-sinking moments in the film.

[equanimus]

I thought the idea was to leave it unclear whether Paro had actually been sleeping with Sunil. It's like one of those rumours that never get resolved to a clear 'true' or 'false.' The audience and the film itself is "relegated" to be in the same boat as Dev.

I am not quite sure. He does stop making out with that girl in the barn at first before his confrontation with Paro. But the scene you mention is one of the earliest indications of the (im)maturity of their relationship, which might not have anything to do with his own virginity. As for Paro's virginity, I go with PR here. I am inclined to believe that Paro had been saving herself and the way she dances with abandon during the 'Atyachar' song is the equivalent of flipping her finger at Dev. Perhaps a result of 'is this what I get in return?' frustration.

[P_R]

Hmm... see we are evaluating the story from where the characters stand. Paro mentions Dev's double standards as a statement. If he had not spurned her, her reactions to her possible histories would have been quite unlike his reaction to her alleged history. That is quite clear from the characterizations.

From the beginning it is always indicated that perhaps Dev is not as mad about Paro as she is about him. Yes it is combined with the traditional male-female expectations. But more than that the emphasis is on the specific situations of those particular characters

It is only after he loses her that Dev really feels it. That is indeed a masculine yearning for a possession lost and kicking oneself for something one is solely responsible for. But the two are IMO meshed together inextricably in the film.

[P_R]

the way she dances with abandon during the 'Atyachar' song is the equivalent of flipping her finger at Dev. Exactly !


Perhaps a result of 'is this what I get in return?' frustration. I am yet again reminded of ramayana only. podalangai wrote a lovely post - one of the best I have read in the Hub - comparing the fire-test confrontation scenes in Valmiki and Kamban.
In the former Sita rues her fate and asked that the earth consume her. In Kamban she gives it back to Rama who had the audacity to suspect her and expresses annoyance that she had wasted her life guarding her virtue for such a man.

PR/Kannan,
Actually the point is rather simple. All these (Paro is mad about Dev more than Dev is about her, Paro dancing with abandon after Dev ditches her, or what have you) will hold just as good even if she did get involved with someone else (by happenstance or for whatever reasons). It might have happened (if at all) arbitrarily under inexplicable circumstances. Or may be, as Maddy said, it was something "in the middle." It's quite clear that Sunil is greatly exaggerating what happened between him and Paro. Who is to judge? How does it automatically contradict Paro's love? The scene where Paro asks for the keys to Sunil's room establishes her love for Dev very well. "Mera Dev aa gayaa hai..." is all she tells Sunil, and it's as if the latter knew it all along.

[equanimus]

Incidentally someone put this question to Kashyap himself during a rediff chat (http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2009/feb/10sli6-anurag-kashyap-chat.htm) he had with his fans. I got to see this via the comments section of Baradwaj Rangan's blog.

[P_R]

How does it automatically contradict Paro's love?Not in the absolute. That is the hypocrisy point Maddy is making. But in her given circumstances and characterization I think it does contradict.

'Something on the side' may not be much to Dev. But in my reading that isn't the case for Paro. That is why the mattress-cycle scene is an audacious testament of her mad love for Dev.

To put it another way... 'it becomes even more beautiful' if Paro had deemed it to be contradictory. It heightens the importance of 'mera Dev' and makes her revenge and Dev's loss exponentially more intense.

Now, what would you call an aesthetic expectation that attributes chauvinism and regressive tendencies to the characters. Is it itself chauvinistic. Maddy, remba yOsikka vachchuteenga...:-)

Maddy,

I beg to differ. Delhi-6 is MASTERSTROKE!!! I didnt like RDB but ROM have come with a very close socially oriented theme with perfect casting, meticulously crafted and the way he interlinked Ramayanam, religious fundamentalist is topnotch. I have to say that the ending is bit slack but not disoriented. I really dont know how else ROM/PJ/* the writers team or anyone could have ended it. Its a perfect movie for my liking and there are lot to be discovered scene by scene and Its warrants multiple viewings (which I hardly do) with subtitles. More than anything its bloo$y ORIGINAL! And I have to proudly say ROM have outclassed ARR's music.

OTOH, I dont intend to compare but Dev D in one line is a simple remake of an old saga. Whoever attempted for such contemporary versions might have ended in a similar fashion sex, drugs, betrayal, school girl molested, father suicide, mother's neglectfulness that leads the girl to prostitution for living and education... Nothing extraordinary in terms of screenplay and execution but soundtrack is archetype and rocks bigtime he certainly deserves a huge applaud!! Go Amit!

//D after effects.....Coming on my blog///

[P_R]

I really dont know how else.... anyone could have ended it. By the time the film ended , not many were questioning how it ended but rested content with a word of thanks that it did end.

[Scale]

:lol:

I expected it. The same with Dev D here :wink: Opinions differ.

Just curious: Is there any one who thinks alike having watched both the films.

[MADDY]

And I have to proudly say ROM have outclassed ARR's music.

yes, last time someone outclassed "thalaivar's" music was kalaprabhu

[thamizhvaanan]

Just recently I got around to watch Jodha Akbar on flight (no other option). Initially I watched it for ARR's songs and BGM. The first 30 minutes were pretty bad, not since Sanjay khan's sunday show tipu sultan, I had to sit through such corny war scenes. And ARR's BGM was unbeleivably disappointing, he normally revels in such scenes. But I still havent gone to Jashn-E-bahara and In lamhon, so I was willing to wait.

But surprisingly the film did get better and I found myself enjoying the post-marriage love scenes. It was like mounaragam film set in historic times. And ARR more than made up for his disappointing show in the beginning. What a lovely score!!! If you think Jashn E bahaara is sweet, watch it on the film... it is simply BEAUTIFUL, it captures the beautiful feeling of love throbbing between the leads, it is like that gentle breeze which makes you feel good about everything around you. The mood of the song was SPOT ON!!!

It is not a novel story, the director sticks to the cliches, but I seem to develop a taste for cliched scenes these days (last one I liked was vennila kabadi kuzhu). I found myself smiling at the small LCD screen most of the time. The dialogues were very bland though... Whatever the audience has to infer from the scene, is narrated directly in the dialogue.

Akbar: I want to give respect to your feelings. I will not touch you without your consent.. bla bla... WTH!!! :huh:

When Akbar's BIL instructs his wife not to go to her brother's wedding, she turns the sky and gasps "Bhayya.. mujhe maaf kheejiye" :banghead:

Cinematography was awesome!! great colors and camera angles, some spectacular shots every now and then.

Definitely a good watch, for music and camera (ofcourse the leads). Please dont mind the beginning and the ending :P

[Ramakrishna]

in the beginning, do u mean during the war scenes? I felt there were decent BGM pieces in those places.

[thamizhvaanan]

in the beginning, do u mean during the war scenes? I felt there were decent BGM pieces in those places.

Enakku pidikala, I had higher expectations. But when the same peice was repeated for finale one on one, it felt apt.

The BGM for love scenes were truly rocking stuff. In the first night scene, when Akbar tries to approach Jodha, he lets the string repeat some short notes hesitatingly, to indicate Hrithik making his advances. But when he touches her hands, Jodha retracts it and immediately a solo mellifluous flute kicks off in a paraller direction playing an unrelated melody, while the chords at the background continues to repeat... It was beautiful!!! I thought it was indicative of Jodha not willing to play to his tunes and trying to set off in a different direction. brilliant!!!

Not to mention, how well the songs fit the movie. In Lamhon ki was supposed to set the screen on fire, when the love between Jodha and akbar finally ignites. I thought the impact was pretty good, still could have been better. While song had all the moments in music, the build up in the narrative and execution could have been better.

Definitely one of the best works of ARR :thumbsup:

No, I hope it wasn't anywhere as bad as this movie. The writing is awful, the acting is stilted and the details are pretty much like kids in the candy aisle throwing a tantrum - starved for attention. In essence a tutorial on how to mess up a thriller(?).

However, the movie ranks pretty high on the unintentional comedy scale. My buddy has christened Akshay Kumar 'Kung Fu Kuppu' in light of his finely honed acting skills.

CR, PR - the best thing about Pyaasa is the way Dutt does away with melodrama. There is an underlying sadness (ithellam sollanuma..) throughout the movie, but the movie itself is anything but sentimental. None of the characters go overboard and for all the despair Dutt's character comes to represent, he is careful not to capitalise on it. Johnny Walker's role and a couple of songs aside, the movie manages to keep to the plot with admirable determination, so much so that the running time is something like 2 hours! I loved Khagaz ke phool and Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam was quite interesting, but Pyaasa trumps them both hands down!! It has been said often, but what the heck - the man was much ahead of his times.

Story is weaved intelligently between a gangster, moneylender, gambler, match fixing and 2 small time thieves. Lots of twists and funny moments. Apt casting and equally apt performances from all except Soha Eli khan. Kunal Khemu, Cyrus, Amit Mistry and Majesh Manjrekar have all done extremely well, especially Amit Mistry as Kuber, his English dialogues were :rotfl:. Boman was class as usual and Cyrus was not irritating for a change.
Good time pass movie....

"To me, 'bonding' is an overrated term normally linked to reminiscing about past escapades with a truckload of grog on board. I've had my fair share of these nights, and while they can create a few laughs and a better understanding of each other, the experience is shallow and soon forgotten. True bonding experiences stand the test of time and become part of you, and most certainly, visiting Gallipoli together on our way to England for the 2001 Ashes tour had a profound effect on most of the squad" (Out of my comfort zone, p. 597-8)




"This visit was part of ongoing efforts designed to broaden horizons and learn more about the role of leadership and team ethics. Everyone came away from the visit with a greater understanding of what it really means to stand shoulder to shoulder and fight for your country. We hope it will help strengthen our own bonds within the team as we prepare for what should be a very exciting Ashes series."

Same same, PR. The thing is PKS is an obviously and cheerfully modest film, low production values (albeit with mandatory songs shot in foreign locations), no glitz and so on. And it didn't work at the box office either. So people find it easy to characterise it as "cheap" (which, in plain economic terms, it is). Nobody from the mainstream media would ever say something like this about a film like 'vEttaiyAdu viLaiyAdu' or 'pOkkiri'!

General knowledge 'ngRadhu ennamO ok dhAn. What irks me is that these TV channels put in all kinds of inane options as if to represent all kinds of uninformed or contradictory opinions that people have on homosexuality etc. And these folks often insist that they're not here "just to report" news, but also to put things in perspective! Why then chicken out and put options like "gays need to be reformed?" They can't get away with the "a lot of people think so" argument. A lot of people think secularism is a bit of nonsense too.
If your friends seem very liberal to you then you are a rightwing conservative. If my friends seem very liberal to me then birds of a feather' :-)

ippa annan, kozhaindhakku 200 rooba moi ezhudhuvaar-ngra madhiri maatti vittutteenga :lol:

characterisation in this movie is one of the best i have seen......paro's character throws so much of weight by taking revenge on dev.....it also breaks the age old image of devdas as torchbearer of love.......it just reduces dev to a loser who self-pities himself and who doesent want to change.......and finally he realises life is about second chances and takes up the second chance in climax :) .......chanda's character too made a heavy impact by slapping the pevert, hypocritic indian society.......that chunni (pimp) character is ridden with counterpoints - nee nallavana kettavana-nnu ketkura range-la :lol: ......i donno how pundits felt, but enakku idhu ultimate characerisations......characters being true to themselves not coming under cinematic framework for a single moment even.....

screenplay was again great with the mix of today;s scandals like hit-and-run case, MMS scandal with age old devdas's style of liquor, smoking and finally sitting on the street with dog :thumbsup: ......i mean the juxtaposition was so seamless and true yet makes a great cinematic experience.......everything was so new and opposite in this movie right from paro-servant conflict to emotional athyachar brass version (sung with paro's emotions) to dev becoming a male slut upto the final credits rolling bottoms up :bow: ....it just beats the hell out of existing cinema.....

style - to show a deglamourised loser like Dev as stylish is a great achievement......just imagine if younger day rajinikanth or amitabh would have done this movie.....:bow:

attention to details was great.......the way they show kick after a joint or peg is never seen before.........when he immerses himself in water, the pardesi song sounds exactly how it would when heard under the water 8-) ........

i think the clinching part for me, nerd or CR, is the usage of music to move fwd the narration.........emotional athyachar rock version, pardesi, saali kushi and the climax song hulchul si are just brilliant cinematic sequences which is so unique abt this movie.......i would rate this more than maqbool or HKA or omkara just for the music......trust me, our strength is music and the way, we are going to beat other industries is giving great movies with great music........

Watched Lucky By Chance... - Ok.



yoga, LBC is a ok movie - couple of sequences stood out, others were like - "ippadi dhaane poganum story" types :)

Yeah, I had the same feeling. IrunthAlum, climax konjam different-A irukthuchu instead of same boring stuff... (AthAvathu - he becomes hero, she becomes heroine in Movies instead of serials, they married and lived happily ever after :P )

Hrithik - pls refrain from doing these kind of roles... :twisted:

If maddy becomes like Guru Maddy then Bhavana looks like someone who would beat him up and make him sit in the house :| (her voice and her body language and her face with no make up :shaking:)

and IF maddy becomes like guru maddy or the nice AP maddy then maddy genelia pair would be EPIC :D :cool:
