Finally the strike is over and the Bollywood summer has begun. Technically ‘99‘ was the first film after the truce, but ‘Kal Kissne Dekha‘ truly heralds the commencement of the bollywood summer. With almost seven movies lined up back-to-back, it truly promises to out do the competition from the west. It also reunites us with our fetish for horrible cinema and what a way to begin. Big budgets and mega hyped debuts are always a candidate for disaster and this time their... Read Full Story

We generally don’t have a family promotion program but this is a rare guest post from the big man. It began as a comment to the previous post but then ended up being a guest post. Not sure if this will be a regular feature, for he seems to have an awful lot of time on his hands. But then here are some insights, few of which I had no idea about from the big man who we shall for now call Pappu Pager! Well if I’m Munna Mobile he can easily be Pappu Pager and references to an ARR song... Read Full Story

Sat sri akal and a copy to all, this is your friend philosopher and guide Baba Bangali along with our resident reporter Munna Mobile coming to you live from our bunker in the hinterlands. We’re stationed in a bunker because of the nature of information we deal with. You read the regular stuff in the papers and news channels but our constant endeavors are always to go beyond the headlines. With the election fever dying down and the IPL at it’s closing stages, it’s time to tak... Read Full Story

Mother, do you think they’ll drop the bomb? Mother, do you think they’ll like this song? Mother, do you think they’ll try to break my balls? Mother, should I build the wall? Mother, should I run for President? Mother, should I trust the government? Mother, will they put me in the firing line? Is it just a waste of time? Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry Momma’s gonna put all of her fears into you Momma’s gonna keep you right here under her wing She wonR... Read Full Story

It’s been a while since we’ve got anything out of the bunker, a much needed vacation, election news and the cricket tamasha have been keeping us busy these days. It also means that our sleep cycles have been put out of sync which results in drowsy meetings! This past weekend we got a jolt straight from heaven that jump-started our blogging juices and hence this post. Sometime last week, top chef N sent me a url asking for my opinion which essentially means silly yet nonsensical co... Read Full Story

Bhaktas, politicians and terrorists this is Baba Bangali making an appearance at this space after a long time. This past week was Ram Navami and since the elections are around the corner, we decided to feature our most psephologist friendly deity this election season. There have been many deities who’ve had an objectionable streak but there is only one who flirts with controversy like Yuvraj Singh with a ball outside the off stump. If controversy were a religion then there could be onl... Read Full Story

India is growing dynamically in every field. Today, the boom in economy, innovative technologies and improved infrastructure has become nation’s pride. The country has witnessed advancements in all fields but bias against a girl child is still prevailing in the country. India is one of the few countries where selective sex gender bias exists till today. The onslaught of feminism has not allowed Indian women to revolt against the century old systems. For centuries together women have played t... Read Full Story

Thanks to the kind hearted folks at DP who linked to us, a lot of you have been waiting for part two. We’ve racked our brains to come up with something readable but like all sequels this may not matc... Read Full Story

It’s that time of the year when we salute the worst in Indian cinemawe salute the worst in Indian cinema. It’s not everyday that we recognize the efforts of these filmmakers who put in hours of work to churn out box office duds. These duds are relegated to the depths of the box office under the heavy weight blockbusters every year. What began as a stroke of misfortune, turned out into a hobby as I opened up to the world of horrible cinema. You might be thinking that I’m ref... Read Full Story
