Check out how, in almost all the scenes, the camera is at an angle lower to the characters [below the eye-line], thereby giving the viewer a perception of ther power of the characters.
Was very impressed even in the very first scene - the lighting is so natural [minimal]. Irfan and Tabu were terrific.
Pankaj Kapoor imitates Brando [GF, of course!] in his walk, dialogue delivery, body/facial posturing and even in turning down the corners of his mouth.
One of my all time fav hindi comedies is Chupke Chupke.Cast includes Amitab,Jaya Badhuri,Dharmendar and sharmila tagore.Amitab as the absent minded english professor who is forced to take botany lessons for Jaya is hilarious.Couple of songs were major hits too..
Hmm.... didn't quite catch that. Should see it again.Quote:

Everything came together so well in the movie. I wanted to quote an article in ToI, written by Tyrewala about screenwriting in general, and Mabool in particular. I have the hard copy snipped but I can't find it online.
Ah, now i remember. Guess at that time i thought Aandavar had made a correct decision which only He can make. On hindsight, this is a miss of a lifetime, especially considering the ground lost on the Mumbai Xpress setback.Quote:

He played down Maqbool as a regular drama, written with a keen sense of proportion.
It's surprising that ToI, the largest selling "tabloid" in the print media even took the pains to ask the scriptwriter for his opinion on a film that doesn't star the top names in Bollywood. In their rush to praise 'Black', a much better, and perhaps the best hindi movie of 2005, 'Page 3' was completely ignored. What else can one expect from a newspaper that gave 5 stars to 'KKKG'?!Quote:

I also recommend 'Hazaron Khwaishen Aisi' if you have missed it.
Umm...Page 3, IMO, is a highly overrated film. I was sorely disappointed to see it pick up national awards for Best Film and Best Screenplay. It was a nice concept squandered. So I am going to disagree with you asa far as Black vs. Page 3 goes.Quote:
