it s nothing to do with harry potter but amit dutta s film aadmi ki aurat aur anya kahaniyan please go read at upperstall at march 17 2010 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels back then at ftii the movies monday february 22 2010 a lazy boy film 275 per ticket madam he said i gaped at him recliner seats madam he said sympathetically can t you give me normal seats i gasped no only recliner seats madam i rushed into the theatre determined not to waste a minute s worth of my 275 rupees they were still cleaning up after the last show dhanno raised her eyebrows and said mom they ll let us know when they ve finished once inside the candy striped auditorium i pushed the back of my seat dhanno said it s not a bus seat mom just wait she found a secret switch in the copious folds and the chair extended my legs went up my back slid back more more i said that s enough a little boy passing by squealed daddy i want a seat like that i was inclined to pull out my tongue at him but his daddy pulled him away reassuring him that his seat was going to be as wonderful as mine oh no i said as it suddenly struck me how will i get up for the national anthem on the dot the screen commanded stand up for the national anthem i scrambled out of my seat the chair lurched with me dhanno meanwhile pressed a switch her recliner went back to a normal position and she stood beside me tapping her foot impatiently while i shook myself straight i almost fell i said she nodded coldly i noticed for the first time that the group of actors singing the national anthem have weird eye lines because they are all keyed in the thought that each actor has been shot separately against a green background depressed me for some reason i slid back into the chair with relief should we have some popcorn i said no we ve just had dinner and you always say that the popcorn gives you a headache dhanno admonished will you share the popcorn with me i said ignoring her she refused to answer i asked the usher next to me could you get me a regular popcorn he said only large madam no regular i sank into the seat defeated isn t this chair like the one joey has in friends i said no dhanno said that s a lazy boy this is a lazy boy i said no it isn t dhanno said for one a lazy boy is much larger this is nice too i said i slid the back further the ceiling was candy striped too that s hypnotic i thought i woke up from a nap much later and looked around peace prevailed as people slept on their recliners dhanno looked more amicable in her sleep only the little boy behind me was awake he was playing with the switch and had succeeded in turning his recliner into a swing this time i did pull out my tongue at him his daddy was asleep so yes do go see toh baat pakki if you can book yourself into a recliner chair if you own a lazy boy then stay home and watch tv instead even if you don t have a lazy boy stay home and watch tv instead there s enough bad acting screenplays camera work music on the small screen to sedate you you don t need to go to the theatre for that at february 22 2010 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dhanno the movies wednesday february 03 2010 comfort films if you are stuck in a hotel room all by yourself even if it is a very nice hotel room and you ve made those calls to your family that you ve tried desperately to stretch for over 30 minutes because you so want to be home and your family is going all why don t you relax and take that holiday from home and us that you are always talking about then the best thing you can do to cheer yourself up is watch jaani dushman 1979 it s full of the most gorgeous women neetu singh rekha yogeeta bali sarika reena roy bindiya goswami jayshree t aruna irani and a few others all a reassuring size 14 and above dressed in tight blouses big bare midriffs and tight knee length triangular skirts and angular eyebrows yes it was that time every so often they turn up in full bridal regalia the men are all tall and handsome sunil dutt shatrughan sinha jeetendra and they dress in matching trousers and jackets with patchwork on them and big belts on their waists shatrughan sinha is delightfully unrepentantly evil there are several brides several songs and several deaths there is a lot of honour going around and friendship and brother sister love that always ends in tears the story goes around in a loop love scene fight scene death scene comedy scene love scene and so on the comedy scene is jagdeep and jayshree t trying to make out and being disturbed by a rival lover paintal the love scene is sunil dutt and reena roy trying to make out and being disturbed by a rival lover shatrughan sinha the sweet scene is jeetendra and neetu singh trying to make out and everything being hunky dory signifying an early death for both of them the dramatic scene is sanjeev kumar the righteous thakur being horrified by his nasty son shatrughan sinha and the mother indrani mukherjee crying for her husband s forgiveness for their son the sad scene is a bride being sent off in her palanquin by her tearful brother the horror scene is an evil spirit attacking the bridal palanquin and killing the bride the scenes play in a loop through the film with insignificant changes in them the flashbacks have the characters remembering similar scenes as of course nothing else does happen in their lives but what s on the loop it also has vinod mehra as a mad man wearing plants sticking to rags which are then torn aside to reveal a very very tight police uniform and premnath who plays a fat bumm bumm bhole sadhu in a ankle length orange robe with side slits it s not clear until the end whether or not he is nurturing the evil spirit in the cave underneath his temple the evil spirit wears a gorilla suit rented from maganlal dresswala in girgaum chowpatty i presume i m not sure whether they had the juhu branch back then the suit probably still hangs around the godowns and i wonder if the evil spirit lurks in there the evil spirit is of a hurt bridegroom whose bride sneaked out on their wedding night to meet her lover when the possessed man dies the evil spirit moves to another body the gorilla suit remains the same it s all very delicious and it goes on forever and it feels like you have gone back home for a while at february 03 2010 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels banno the movies tuesday february 02 2010 bravado after hearing that salman khan was blasting all those critics who blasted veer teja is seriously waiting for him to react to my review of veer in tehelka he s been going to the gym lately and would love a fight but salman khan is so no i rather he stayed far away from teja in my defense i did end my review with a line about his fabulous screen presence and stardom not my fault it was edited out dhanno refuses to be implicated in any of this at february 02 2010 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels banno dhanno teja the movies tuesday january 26 2010 boys will be boys the policeman said wherever the media reaches there is trouble the backward places where there is no media people are poor they are uneducated they don t know what is happening around them they are happy educated people cause all the trouble he forgot to say trouble for us for the administration but i wasn t going to correct him as i was sitting in the police station charged by local congress goons for tarnishing the image of dharavi i had insisted on coming in the police van much to the embarrassment of the two police officers summoned by the goons on 60 ft road no no madam come in your own car no no i said what if i run away these people the goons don t trust me but we trust you madam i jumped into the police jeep anyway enjoying their discomfiture at the police station the goons kept marching in until 2 went up to 25 they went on about media people exposing the nakedness of poor people in front of foreigners i tried to tell them our program was on the industry in dharavi but they were insistent that we were shooting gutters the cameraman showed them the footage on the tape in the camera they were impatient and wanted it fast forwarded the camera attendant explained that would damage the head of the camera for 20 minutes they peered into the viewfinder looking for incriminating evidence when they could not find it one of them said what is the meaning of taking so many shots of the road for so much time i said i must give you some film editing lessons then offended they began to rant about a recent documentary appearing on national geographic that has some shots of children shitting on the roads and a local activist s interview it was hard to understand whether they were angrier about the crap or the activist they all wanted to show him his place the angriest one said they are showing dharavi as it was 40 years ago since the said documentary was made a few months ago at the most a year or so ago i did not comprehend how it represented a dharavi from a bygone past or what it had to do with our crew but this was hardly about logic was it two policemen meanwhile diligently pored through a fat manual wondering what they could charge me with the other police staff looked quite fed up they were all keen to go to lunch a little man in white shirt and white trousers showed up i smiled at him in relief because he had worked with us on the secret millionaire show turns out that he is the master brain behind this issue he has decided that all foreign traffic and all film shoots in dharavi will be routed through him so he refused to acknowledge me at first then tried to bring me around to his point of view a couple of his goons came upfront and asked my white producer to dole out 5000 to each of the goons for the trouble they had taken in creating this ruckus luck was on our side because in fact we were through with almost all our shoot except a few general shots so we could afford not to get agitated unable to understand this they began instigating the policemen to check the back of our car check all our equipment check the passports and visas of the foreigners who knows what they are doing here one said a police official shooed away the goons irritably get out of my office this is not some criminal or murder case that you are surrounding her he grumbled about how these people walked in and out of the station as if it was their father s kingdom the police decided to fine the crew 5000 on the charge of our not informing the local police station about the shoot an officer said apologetically this is only a deposit madam you can go to the court on monday morning with the receipt the judge will charge you 2 300 rupees and give you the rest back it s a minor offense the little man called my colleague later to say we have all these boys in the party we have to take care of them you should help with funds the next day he called me twice to ascertain where and what we were shooting are you in dharavi he asked i saw your car there i said am i meant to report to you every morning no no he said just let me know where you are then my boys won t trouble you i had to take them all out last night to cool them down we ll talk over the charges later i wondered if the boys would not be better employed making more public toilets in dharavi rather than worrying about photographs of children shitting but apparently the image of dharavi will remain intact if the little man and his party boys get a commission from the film production budget i said to him you ve done more to spoil the image of dharavi with your goonda gardi than anything we could do with our camera he said oh boys will be boys we have to employ these low level types in the party god save dharavi god save the nation from the party boys i must say this for the mumbai police there were 7 men in the crew and me not once did they question my authority as a woman in representing these 7 men i don t think that would have happened in many other states in the country at january 26 2010 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels banno of shoots and showbiz real world thursday january 14 2010 the slumdog children of mumbai this is a programme that i think i am proudest to have worked on in all these years simply because it was not only journalism at its best and most sensitive but because the director nick read and the production company true vision are committed to the ethics of working with children and helping them to improve their lives and on a lesser note because we shot in the monsoons in the most excruciatingly difficult circumstances it is not always pleasant to work in the slums or on the streets more than the physical hardships you are always being quizzed about selling india s poverty you have your own traumas about the difference between your own life and that of the people you are working with when you have lived for any length of time in mumbai you stop seeing the life on the street there is so much of it that it can be overwhelming and you ignore it to get on with your own life but while working on this programme i felt that it is important to give a voice to the people who are usually invisible i stopped feeling ashamed of my work and saw that it could be an opportunity to help at least a few children the channel 4 site has an article on street kids my very limited experience with the children please read it here the slumdog children of mumbai edited to add the film received a tremendous response with hundreds of emails comments and enquiries to help the children in the film and others like them true vision has built a site dedicated to these children with links to some of the ngos working for the children and also ways to help the children directly within 48 hours the trust fund for the children has already collected over 8000 gbp the link to the site is here slumdogchildren org the biggest challenge is not going to be money but motivating the children esp the boys to go to school or vocational training any suggestions are welcome at january 14 2010 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
