Talkin' Movies

Its good to listen to two intelligent film makers talking to each other. Dibaker Banerjee, the maker of Khosla Ka Ghosla and Oye Lucky, gets together for a chat with Navdeep Singh, the maker of that excellent little gem last year, Manorama Six feet Under. The funny thing is, Banerjee even feels that his Khosla Ka Ghosla was in some ways a compromise, as in the end he had to give into an ending the audiences in India would have expected. Navdeep Singh though, is someone I consider a brilliant film maker. His Manorama Six Feet Under was daring, different and an amazing homage to the classic film noir. You can see the full article at:

A treat for any serious film buff. A true sign of the times that Bollywood now has a place for those who want to look beyond the extravagant and empty showpieces they make in the name of cinema. I hope for every Singh is King they make these days, I can catch hold of a Manorama.
