???- “Why?”, “what?” and “what the fuck?” answered

“If you make people think that they are thinking, they will love you; but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.”    -Aristotle “If you suck, be the first to admit; it puts your haters out of job”   -Anonymous I get it, the movie is shit. I know, and I admit it. But this is not to justify why the movie is bad (If you really want to know, it was because I was ill equipped- technically and intellectually, the fact that you are reading this makes me a shitty director ), no this is to let you know of the tiny details and the metaphors you would have missed. These little things are pretty much the only reason why we made this movie in the first place.             Le me introduce you to the people in this movie first (the reason will be evident as you read on) CAST & CREW:             Written by and other behind the scenes work: Abh...

10 guys women want you to be: Response to "10 Reasons to say No to a guy":

I found  this  on my FB feed. I thought it was a bunch of bull, so I asked the moderator if he would publish my views on the subject. He asked me to post it as a comment and assured me that the author would surely respond. I had too much on my mind to leave a lousy comment, hence this high drama. The disclaimer claims not to generalize or demean the traits mentioned, but it goes on to do exactly that. I don't find this article offensive, no I don't get butt hurt over goof ups on the the internet. But I do find the article to be stupid and annoying. According to the author, the only kind of guys women ARE supposed to date are the fat, unkempt, shy, butt kissers. NOTE: I am using the same classifications used in the said article, but will be writing my own views. So if the titles seem a little "off", that's not me. 1. The epic "ultra cool" dude: Now, because this was written by a girl, I sense strong passive aggressive lesbian vibes here. There...

Why Ugramm is one of the greatest Gangster movies ever made

(I added "in KFI" at the end of the title and then deleted it, because in my opinion, some of the best Gangster flicks made in Kannada have been some of the best I've watched) For one, it is a timeless modern classic. Seriously you could come back to this in, say five years, and it will still manage to blow you away (trust me, I know what i'm talking about here). You guys remember Om? Well this is in that league, only sexier. The movie is faster, edgier and sleeker than any you have seen in KFI. The movie grabs you by the collar and pulls you right in. No foreplay, no caressing, you get right into the good parts. After the initial high, the audience is allowed to breath a little. Just when you are getting comfortable, you are taken through another roller coaster ride. Getting two songs back to back was a good thing. One does not have to worry about the break in narration by songs until after the interval, and even then the song fits right in (Ugramm Veeram \m/)....

Men can cook: Majjige (buttermilk)

I wonder why it's called butter milk. It's made from yogurt, and the butter's been removed. Why don't we just call it low fat, no butter yogurt? Another one of life's great mysteries. Anyway, by the end of this post you must have the theoretical know hows of how to make a decent to half decent, scratch that, you will know how to make the best fucking majjige you have ever tasted. It will be so good, you will want to live on a majjige diet for the rest of your life. Why do you think i'm so lean , and sexy.                         This is me, minus the pretty face, abs, and I usually have my pants on at all times. This is a really simple recipe.  You don't have to turn on the stove at least, there by cutting down the risk of accidentally burning the house down to zero. Unless you really do want to burn the hose down and are using this as an excuse. Which is cool by me. Just don't blame me. There are two ways to make b...

Idiots on the internet

They cry, they shout they squeal, and they yell those empty threats, and cocky retorts makes you wonder if they ever evolved offended by things that is beyond their comprehension they don't get it they don't even try but they complain, oh how they complain! makes you wonder why they aren't locked up in cages internet trolls they're unwanted, undesired but they come in uninvited polluting healthy discussions with hatred and stupidity ruining it for everyone involved why don't they go away? why don't they mind their own business? more importantly, why do they multiply?

Ashtralle just missoo: a review

Not a lot of people are aware of it, but Ashtralle Just Missoo was supposed to be a short film originally. The movie made heads turn when Rohit took  a giant leap of faith and decided to turn it into a feature film. And he decided to do it all with no budget. It takes balls to do that. The gambling has definitely paid off. Having seen most of Rohit’s short films- a good bunch of brilliant short films which include ais pais, dishkyaav(written by Rohit Padaki, directed by Aditya Raveesh), tony joot- I was ready to be blown off my seats when I went into watch AJM. I had no doubts of Rohit’s directorial abilities, and I was already a big fan of Naveen and the lethal combination made my head trip just thinking about it. It would be wrong to say that I didn’t really expect to see a masterpiece when I watched the movie last Sunday at K H Kalasoudha. The movie works for many reasons. For a moment, let’s put aside that fact that the movie was made for no money- just so that it doe...

The fall of RGV: Satya 2 music review

    This is an unexpected blog post, and I never intended to write this. But this album "moved me" so much I had to write about it. Back in 1998 Ram Gopal Varma made, what is now a cult classic, Satya. Brilliantly written by Saurabh Shukla and Anurag Kashyap, by his own admittance, RGV really didn't have a very good idea of what he was doing (vaguely similar to the making of DW Griffith's Intolerance). Improvisations were a key feature in Satya (told ya, Intolerance), with the script merely acting as a flexible guideline, if you may. The  the Kristen Stewartesque acting abilities of J D Chakri was instrumental in turning Satya (the character) into an enigma. The hot headed gangster Bhiku Matre reminds me of Sonny from The Godfather, and Manoj Bajpai carried the role with absolute brilliance. Evrybody else on the cast were phenomenal, playing their parts just right. The music was just right. had they done it any different it would have probably sucked. That haunt...
