Here are some unique lessons that all the so called film makers can learn from Dhurandhar

1.Unlike the other so called pan india big films , the film doesn’t even try to elevate the hero and give him the so called elevation moments to make the audience forcefully worship him with the use of slow motion and ear splitting background music . It actually lets his flaws and the related consequences coexist, thus making the audience tense instead of giving a clap trap applause.. it is incredible that @RanveerOfficial the star steps back to allow #akshayekhanna to fill the frame because that is the requirement of the story and is a testament to Ranveer’s understanding of cinema

2.Unlike how most films explain, Dhurandhar withholds. Long stretches of silence explode what pages of exposition cannot do in other films

3. It treats violence not as spectacle but as a psychological blow .. @aejazgulab does a fantastic job as the action director who doesn’t care about giving clap trap moments but he integrates the characters and their current state of minds into every ounce of it’s violence .. Gulab’s action in the film is the finest I saw in Indian cinema and I frankly can’t think of even a Hollywood film to beat it from the top of my mind .. There’s a lot to learn from Aejaz Gulab especially for the South Indian pan India action directors because every blow of his leaves an emotional residue, both moral and physical, long after the scene and the film is over

https://t.co/c197cEtnPU abandons the three act safety net.. The narrative moves like real life , uneven, impulsive, sometimes abrupt , rejecting neat rises and cathartic payoffs.

https://t.co/CdB6yhdCVk trusts the audience’s intelligence unapologetically
No spoon feeding, no emotional underlining. Meaning is discovered, not delivered.

https://t.co/Vgy6xlim3p makes the sound design a lead actor even in its background noise, breathing, distant chaos, the whole sound becomes a psychology in the film , and not just accompaniment.

https://t.co/SxPicZtYIh refuses genre loyalty because it mixes a blend of political thriller, character study, visceral action film and moral tragedy among many others thus shapeshifting the cinematic horizon

8. For the first time I experienced background music becoming foreground music , that doesn’t tell you when to feel heroic, scared, or relieved. The constant unease yet peppered with a emotional rollercoaster is the real soundtrack of the film achieved by the unimaginably talented @shaswatalogy

9. Dhurandhar treats cinema as confrontation and not consumption because it doesn’t want to just entertain you for three and half hours , but it’s real intention is to stay with you long after the film is over and maybe forever

Hey @AdityaDharFilms , A big thank you for making Indian cinema finally grow up and for giving all us film makers past , present and future too, to once again take baby steps holding your hand

DHURANDAR’s success is not being just another BLOCKBUSTER , it is a WARNING to the film industry to GROW UP

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

This is Czech gymnast Véra Cáslavská. In 1968, she faced off against the Soviets when she signed a manifesto calling for democratic change in Czechoslovakia. When the Soviet Union invaded the country, Cáslavská was forced to flee to the countryside, losing her training facility and dashing her hopes of competing in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.

However, she did not give up. She continued her training in the forests of Moravia, where she trained by using logs as balance beams, swinging from tree branches, and lifting potato sacks to increase her upper body strength. At the last minute, she was given the green light to compete in the Olympics.

"While the Soviet gymnasts were already in Mexico City, adjusting to the altitude and the climate, I was hanging from trees, practicing my floor exercise in the meadow in front of the cottage and building calluses on my hands by shoveling coal. Then I went to Mexico and won the gold medal," she told the Los Angeles Times in a 1990 interview.

In her lifetime, she won 22 international titles between 1959 and 1968. This included 11 European championships, 4 world titles, and 7 Olympic gold medals.

@MumbaiFilmFest #Agra is a crude but authentic tale dealing with sex, frustration and lack of space highlighting desires of every character. It might not be for everyone due to its no holds barred lust that takes the centre stage a few times.

RIP Matthew Perry, 54.
The Friends star was a great actor, but by his own admission, a very tormented guy. His recent autobiography about his addiction-ravaged life was one of the most powerful, honest and revealing I’ve ever read. Such sad news.

#Daaaali is funny and intelligent film from the amazing story twister Quentin Dupieux (director of RUBBER) I laughed throughout this 75 minuter bone tickler. And 'the end' to look forward for.

A MUST WATCH.
