On the other hand, if this post actually gets a link back, that means my code to exclude micro posts also works. Currently i have it set for 280 characters. Rest of the post is all lorem ipsum, but it should have a link back: Lorem ipsum odor amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I dont want Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movies for storytelling, but to see a master visual artist in action. In that department, Heeramandi does not disappoint. Good music & terrific performances except one actor (who was just pathetic). But the visuals are just stunning. Bhansali has an eye for details and staging of a scene, and while some may call it all fake, every frame is like a painting. More than anything else I was awed by the visual artistry of the series and that alone got a couple of stars from me!

What a devastatingly beautiful biopic of Chamkila. Imtiaz Ali is in top form here supported an excellent soundtrack as well terrific performances across the board. Probably one of the finest biopics out of India this! This is how you do Biopics, Bollywood!

Rewatched this movie again last night after almost 2 decades and it remains one of the seminal movies of Bollywood. It amazes me how relevant the movie is even today in spite of being set in 1970s India. The only difference? A brave movie like this would never ever get made in today’s India and politics.

I probably would have loved this movie more had we not see The Aspirants TV show on prime (or Kota Factory). Some of the scenes were literally derivatives of same scenes in The Aspirants. Still a great effort.

Watched it on flight from Denver to DC. I didnt even finish the last 20 minutes. What an absolute chore of a movie – can’t believe this is the same series that used to be so exciting.

It was actually better than I thought it would be, though the ending was drawn out. Kid is big fan of the books so naturally we had to catch it in theater!
