| A Horrible First Impression to Make at a... | |
| (Originally published at http://passionforcinema.com/a-horrible-first-impression -to-make-at-an-audition/)I went for an audition last Sunday. Expecting a long journey and a long wait, I had a heavy lunch, followed by a tall glass of cold coffee to bolster myself up. I took bus number 459 to Mulund. It was a hot day – the rains hadn’t started then – ...

|
|
| (Originally published on www.passionforcinema.com) Rating: 9/10 I haven’t read any exclusive Iron Man comics before. I’ve only seen him in guest appearances or as part of the Avengers. As a kid, I read all the DC and Marvel comics that I could lay hands on, and as an adult, I’ve bought almost all the Gotham comics with the superheroes that I’m a f...

|
|
| Rating: 7/10I was SO very excited when I saw the first online photo of Jackie Chan and Jet Li together in a movie for the first time. I couldn’t believe it. I can’t remember how many Jackie Chan movies I’ve watched – he’s one of my cinematic idols. And Jet Li’s fights have always been wow. I was apprehensive about the fantasy genre, however, becaus...

| Capsule Reviews of Some Movies I’ve Watched RecentlyPunch Drunk Love: 8/10. Very sweet, quirky comedy. I haven’t seen the typical AdamSandler movies, but I’ve liked him in Anger Management and 50 First Dates.Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of my most-liked actors, has two major scenes andthey are simply terrific. Luis Guzman got some real hard laughs o...

| One of Mr Anupam Kher’s Nainital Tales | |
|
|
| (Mr Anupam Kher is as entertaining in real life as he is on screen. This was one of the many stories he told us students during our days at his acting school, although I haven’t yet taken his permission to post his story here. Do put down your comments, so that maybe I can show them to him one day.)This happened in the days when Mr Kher was teachin...

|
| Rating: 9/10This is after a long, long, long time that I’m writing anything for my blog. Two reasons – one, the computer crashed and was retired hurt for a month, and two, my schedule at Anupam Kher’s Actor Prepares is so tight I barely have time to remember my name. I’m writing this early on a Sunday morning. Last Sunday we didn’t have a holiday a...

| Rating: 6/10Nana Patekar was the person who held my attention throughout Welcome. Even when someone else was speaking, I was watching him to learn from his reactions. I"ve started the 3 month course at Anupam Kher"s Actor Prepares, so it"s time I started paying extra attention to great actors in order to learn from them. Actually, the first time I ...

|
|
| Rating: 8.5/10Have you ever noticed how you laugh much more in a group than when you’re alone, especially when it comes to watching movies? There’re group dynamics and identification with other people and other theories, which I claim no intensive knowledge of, to explain this. My point is, the 10 or so of us in Fame Malad were laughing so hard whi...

| Rating: 5/10Bhool Bhoolaiyya was doing okay until the climax when it started resembling a brainless ‘80s movie. The suspense it had built up till then was passable, although predictable, but once the ‘bhoot’ character started ‘acting’ like a bhoot, it started getting really ridiculous, and my brother and me started cracking jokes, something we almo...

| Mila 18 is one of the most marvellous books I have read in a while. Set in the Warsaw Ghetto, it is an engaging story of Jews standing up to the Nazis. Leon Uris describes in a compelling fashion the trials of the Jews as they withstood the onslaught of heavily armed Nazi attacks with their ragged armies formed by ordinary people. With extreme dete...

| ‘Eating the Earth’! |
| Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change. "By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as m...
