People may have different opinions about FANAA and KANK, but the unanimous verdict was that like it or lump it, both kept the audiences engaged and on their seats, while it enacted on the large screen. Can we expect the same from KIDNAP? I surely hope so. If KIDNAP achieves the success of FANAA or KANK no one would be happier than me. If a film is successful it means a great number of people enjoyed... 

Caught a press screening of Rock On! at the beautiful Saratoga area in   Northern California. 60 minutes, oh 60 minutes separates this movie from being a reasonable watch to being a classic watch. It was 60 minutes too long, if 60 minutes had been shaved off a super movie would  have played out. The two biggest strengths of this movie are a) a strong story told via underplayed emotions and b) extraordinary...

Rahul, your cinema can neither be classified as Arthouse, not pure commercial Bollywood, it is somewhere in between? Popular, yet not totally commercial? Is that a conscious decision? My definition of an Arthouse film is something that is not formulic. It’s one where you don’t know what’s coming next. In that respect Mr & Mrs Iyer is not Arthouse, you know what the ride is about, what’s... 

Caught a screening of the eagerly avaited Mumbai Meri Jaan, and have to  admit, if this was about the spirit of Mumbai, then one came out of the  theater feeling very dispirited.    In an audience of approx 40 people, in the Bay Area, this is what   worked in the film- Some very fine acting, good dialogues and fine   production values. Now the big drawback and bore. It was very, very  ... 

Film is about communicating with the masses. Or so it was meant to be. Every so often comes a film, which reminds us that humans are inherently alike. A film which appeals due to it’s very simplicity, yet if the layers are removed it reveals a lot of depth. A film, which is your “common every person’s film.” A film, which is light, humorous, yet not bereft of an inherent understanding... 

What really attracted you to Jhumpa’s story? Well I was really inspired by grief. I had lost my mother in law, who was like a mother to me and that too very unexpectedly in New York, in a malpractise in a Hospital. We buried her in a snow storm in New Jersey and this was a woman who had spent her whole life in East Africa and I had never experienced the finality of death of a person close to me...
