good point bakul. i have heard our unions raise money for 'parties' and 'running websites'. anyway, furthering the point of 'phoreners' working here and why we are not working there, there is a fantastic example: Ben Kingsley. Kingsley was born Krishna Pandit Bhanji in Snainton, near Scarborough, Yo...

apologies divyaz! of course I meant MAY THE BEST PERSON WIN which also brings up the question of poor women representation in the film crew. anyway, yes Vikram, high chance any production house/agency will give you work in LA or Paris or Madrid or Sydney or wherever. Or give me or one of us. Unless ...

"academically"? again I say: MAY THE BEST MAN WIN lets get Ang Lee, Vittorio Storaro, Dariusz Khondji, Walter Murch to work on our commercials and features. No problem. But un-named people without so much as a proper showreel? Again I say, if Vikram goes to LA will any LA production house ...

it is really unfortunate that this is happening in the institute. but what is more unfortunate is that ftii'ans constantly like to wallow in pathos. Alog with this well researched document (and the stupendous amount of time and effort it must have taken), I wish the 'well-wishers' had made a similar...

you are right bakul sir... its a good film, but over hyped. not rehman's best music definitely! also lots of loose ends, as in why does anil kapoor try to mislead jamaal, something which is explained in the book, but not in the movie. jamaal and salim (i forget the brother's name) dont look like bro...

i am the Stalker!

hi Mandar maybe one solution is to have an assistant check on the equipment on the day before the shooting crew leaves? another is that maybe lets build a list of responsible and dependable rental guys from whom we always buy. once word is out that a particular rental is worthless, maybe less people...

if anyone knew the clock was ticking

Sounds ominous. What do you mean, Megh. You sound like you know something we don't.

Method and the Actor an old post in The Telegraph, here When comedian Ravi Baswani mournfully says, using that tired but evocative clich?, that they don?t make them like that anymore, the coordinator of the revived acting course in Pune?s Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) is not talking...

India's top 10 actors (as per somewhere on the net: 1. ULTIMATE STAR --- AJITH 2. SUPER STAR --- MOHANLAL 3. SUPER STAR --- RAJINI 4. ULAGA NAYAGAN --- KAMAL 5. SUPER STAR --- AMITAB BACHAN 6.

hello hello! i seem to be out of this wonderful world!

now i know why the archives screenings have poor attendance

'we' bole to, we the people of FTII
