There was a wave of these youthful, cool, coming of age films that didn't take themselves too seriously in late 2000s. Our films were reflecting a young, promising India with a bright future. And then you know what happened..
@shivillex@saurabh_daya Bhai direction ghatiya tha movie me elements the darane wale, story bhi kafi had tk theek thi bas performances ajay devgnn ki standout thi baaki sab chutiyaa .. baki “Kaali to bakta rehta hai saab, sunta kaun hai”
It’s okay to embarrass yourself in pursuit of human connection they said. It’s correct. But after a while you must stop too if the effort is not reciprocated. It takes a lot of energy. And you will feel it. You can’t drag for too long. Take a call. Save your peace.
@JossyFCB Phir wo hi baat, bc messi ko koi kuch bol hi ni raha he is absolute legend but FIFA aur baki Argentine ke fans ko gariya rahe kyuki legit cheating hui but reacting as nothing happened. Bc favour mila hai ye clearly poori duniya ne dekha. Bkl narrative change kar rahe

Mr. @prasoonjoshi_
Can you please enlighten us on why 127 cuts were recommended for the film Panjab '95?
The same film, now renamed ‘Satluj’, has been taken down from an OTT platform in less than two days. The CBFC has no jurisdiction over OTT platforms or international releases.
Panjab '95 tells the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a man who exposed documented human rights abuses and paid for it with his life. If a film based on documented facts cannot be seen by Indian audiences, then the public deserves to know why.
This sends a very direct message to filmmakers and production companies: if you're paying homage to a great personality from a minority community, you'll have to face the CBFC.
Journalists should be asking the people running this censor board some hard questions. Why are some politically insensitive films able to pass with ease while others spend years in limbo?
A red carpet for Kashmir Files, Bengal Files, and Kerala Story. Roses for Dhurandar 1 & 2, a fictional documentary/explainer for the unthinkable and the unexplainable.
How does it feel to feast on four years of a director's career?
In Nehru's India, this would have been litigated in court. If filmmakers cannot tell the stories of people who stood up for justice without years of obstruction, what kind of cinema are we encouraging them to make?
Jaswant Singh Khalra Abducted again,
This time by the CBFC
everybody talks about Anurag Kashyap’s complaints in interviews but one needs to look at the way he promotes good cinema and pushes it, his stories on insta are all about main vaapas aaunga, baby do die do and satluj
and he does appreciate good cinema in his interviews too but yeah uske clip utne viral nae honge so koi bnaata nahi
and obviously not to miss the movies he has presented, produced and supported over the years across languages
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
