Girish kasaravalli's hey days. Sorry, saar, that defense doesn't wash.

Yes sarna surely the golden age of kannada cinema and here we have maddy rubbishing that very period.:-). Enna solla mudiyum. Sake hands

Jab We Met - quite good. But Kareena Kapoor was mighty annoying as bubbly girl :sigh2: Shahid :thumbsup:

Interesting article, pr.
However, the author seems to have gone overboard. Kashyap's response was priceless :-)
Nevertheless, the point is valid, something I haven't been able to articulate despite pages of output here - namely, that Kashyap isn't half as contemporarily path breaking or relveant in world cinema as a Ray or even Kasaravalli.

The way bollywood hypes him amd his like now as never-before-in--ndian-cinema, one would think that benegal, nihalani et al never happened in india. And I think that takes my mickey more than the comparisons with tamil. And to think that they were original, and didn't bring 10-15 years old hollywood screenplay techniques :-)

Black friday was Scorsese DevD was not.....i hope it wasnt Anurag who told "next spielberg" :lol: .......have to watch Anurag;s reply in video cause i cant believe that a man who took to writing inspired by Bicycle theieves wants to be a hollywood dummy.......anyways, this is treading into "art for art" lines which is way above my head......

Read the comments...apparently the guy who wrote the article didn't catch what they were saying.

All that apart, I think it is very very fair to have Hollywood ambitions. I deinitely like American movies better than most others.

edukkalaam metaphoraiyum, imagery-aiyum nambi, surrealistic musics edhunAchum paNNalaam. thappillai. But to spite them for -allegedly - not having such ambitions is nonsense. And what's with Hollywood bashing anyway ??

And by the way on Dev D. IMO it was very good but all-time-great ellAm remba over. I found the second half largely show. If I were to be a movie - apart from maqbool- that I thoroughly enjoyed, it is Hazaron kwaishein Aisi. Not Dev D. But then, I just have different expectations out film.
