Raavan (2010)
Bollywood’s giving us quite the fill of Sanskrit literature: first, it was modern-day Mahabharata with Rajneeti, and this Friday saw the Hindu version of Darth Vader/Joker from Dark Knight/Hannibal Lector/you get the drift, Raavan [from Ramayana] being immortalized in a celluloid saga. The result? Raavan emerges as a flawed piece of storytelling; but then, there’s ...

Sohrab Modi (1897 – 1984)
The lion on the logo of his banner, Minerva Movietone, could well symbolize Sohrab Modi’s own personality. The Minerva lion’s stentorian roar was respectfully heeded for more than two decades. Actor-filmmaker Sohrab Modi, made history even as he reinterpreted it for a modern audience. In his midas-touch trilogy of historical spectaculars — Pukar (’39), Sikander ...
Kites (2010)
Kites has made Bollywood attain a completely different level, much higher than any other movie has ever been able to reach before. As many skeptics would want to argue, Kites was anything but Indian. There were barely any traditional Indian elements; there wasn’t much of a Bollywood flavour and many other random attacks on things ...
Rajneeti (2010)
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Bollywood fans have been craving for good cinema since quite a while and Prakash Jha’s Rajneeti seems to quench their thirst well. There is no doubt that the movie lacks Bollywood masala, glamorous clothes, dances numbers and romance, which Indian cinema thrives on but there’s something in this ...
Duniya na Mane (1937)
Prabhat Studios has enormous importance in the history of Indian cinema. It was founded in Kohlapur in 1929 by a group who had worked at Baburao Painter’s Maharashtra Film Company and who then moved to Pune in 1933. It was famous for three genres: the devotional or ‘sant’ films about devotees (including Sant Tukaram) who ...
Do bigha zamin (1953)
Bimal Roy, one of India’s foremost film-makers, made many great films including Do bigha zamin, which is one of Roy’s best works and is a remarkable film by any standards. It brings together Roy’s neo-realist form of Hindi cinema’s melodrama with his deeply felt political concerns, to form a great study of human values and ...
Do aankhen baarah haath (1957)
Do aankhen baarah haath won many awards at international film festivals, including the Silver Bear in Berlin, and it remains the only Hindi mainstream film that has been screened at the London Film Festival to date. However, it was only post-1955 and the release of Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali (1955) that ‘art cinema’ emerged in ...
