Made in Dagenham

Am I back or what? Honestly, I had not expected anyone to read my comeback post. I was expecting maybe 1, maximum 2 comments. It was Moe’s GB entry that motivated me to write my previous post, so was thinking “koi nahin toh Moe mera blog padega”. I am pleasantly surprised to find that not [...]


Rajneeti

I am back to blogging after a small break.Since there is nothing much happening in my life, I thought I might as well blog about the movies I watched. The sad thing is that, it’s been ages since I watched a decent film in the theatres. I was hoping that post IPL there would be [...]


Alone …in a crowd

I watched 2 movies over the weekend. “Ishqiya” and “Rann”. As I had mentioned in my previous post, I had quite liked Vishal Bharadwaj’s score for Ishqiya. “Dil toh baccha hai” and “ Ibn batuta” are so catchy. The promos seemed interesting too. So, what’s my take on the movie?  Let me just say that [...]


Weekend and movies

Last weekend I had gone to a friend’s place. Some change from the boring guest house that I was living in. This weekend, I did not want to pile on the same friend again. So, I decided that it was time Sameera got acquainted with Bangalore on her own. In the two weeks that I [...]


My tryst with the “3 Idiots”

I do not know if it is my sheer bad luck or if it is really so. I have found it really difficult and expensive to watch movies in Bangalore. Now, it is quite possible that this was a one-off bad experience. But as of now, I have sworn that I shall be watching movies [...]


MAMI (film fest) and I

I should have done this post atleast 3-4 days back. Monday was a good time. But some how got busy with other things. That seems to be my general excuse these days. Anyways, this post might have encouraged other movie buffs like me had I posted it on Monday. Nevertheless, there is always another time. As [...]


For the love of food

October has been a good month, I must say. There were lots of holidays. Im going through this phase where I do need the money, but I dont want to go to work. I wonder if other working people feel the way I do. I wish I was the 100th wife of the Sultan of [...]


Living in interesting times

It has been a long break from iland for me. Im back with yet another movie review. [Oh no! some of you might say. And I dont blame you]. So, where have I been and what have I been upto. Hmm..well I can euphemistically say that I have been living in interesting times. The [...]


Love- Aaj Kal

This should have got posted on Monday itself, but could not. Not because I did not want to but because I could not. Thanks to a very bad attack of flu (hope not the H1N1 type) and now the doctors tell me that it is a case of bronchitis. So, I have been under the [...]


Too much of Kate

It was a hectic weekend. I saw 3 movies. Two movies almost back to back on Sunday. I probably ODed on Kate Winslet because two movies starred the actress. Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Both the movies are based on bestselling books.After watching these two flicks, I feel Kate Winslet deserved the Oscar for Best [...]
