Release of KURBAAN provides an opportunity to take a trip down the memory lane and understand how this stream of film making has evolved in the Indian cinema so far. KARMA: It was the first milestone film in the Hindi cinema having a distinct stamp of Subhash Ghai's method of movie making in his heydays characterized by a Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:02:07 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/20-salil-chaudhary-pioneer-to-introduce-western-classical-music-110916.asp It indeed is an apparent paradox that Salil Chaudhary who was the pioneer as far as introducing western classical music to the Indian music aficionados is concerned was not remembered at all on his birthday yesterday. Salil Chaudhary was the man who used the nodes of masters such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin etc., through his musical oeuvre and in that sense could be considered as the first music director who created a fusion between the western classical music and Indian folk music.

If the success of her past films is taken into account, be it, MAINE PYAAR KYON KIYA, SINGH IS KING, WELCOME, PARTNER, NAMASTE LONDON it is her sense of comedy that has scored a hit with the audience. She is probably the only female star who has acted in one of the greatest all time comedy hit films that have been produced by the Hindi film industry Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:15:20 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/17-apkgk-emergence-of-a-new-comic-pair-110915.asp Raj Kumar Santoshi has again demonstrated with panache that he is a master in making comedies with the resounding success that AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI all over the country. AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI has also given rise to new pair of comedy in the form of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, who simply ooze effervescence on the screen with their vivacious energy and chutzpah. Ranbir Kapoor has all along been saying in his interviews that he is greatly inspired by his grand father Raj Kapoor Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:25:51 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/16-2012-apocalypse-now-110910.asp It indeed is one of the apparent paradoxes that the notion of the end of world is a big obsession in the films that are made in Hollywood. Same kind of obsession with the end of the world is not to be seen in any other cinematic oeuvre, but Hollywood continues to revisit the theme on a regular basis. 2012 is another addition to this fascination. 2012 has a historical significance as this year marks the end of the civilization as per the Maya civilization and as the world would come to an end only select few would survive who will sow the seeds for a fresh civilization that would blossom from the destruction of the present civilization.

Never has there been a debut in the world of Hindi cinema or for that matter in any cinematic world anywhere in the world where an established star after having successfully completed forty years in the world of cinema is re-making his debut as a child star. But that is the magic of Big B and that it why he is called as Big B. With PAA indeed Indian cinema would reach new heights that it had the potential to do but was not striving to reach.

Rather it can be said that the response has not been in sync with the reality. It is more so, when one compares it with the response that films made in Hollywood make to the natural calamities. Every year they have one film or the other that tries to put in perspective the vagaries of the nature, and even mainstream actors do not have any reservations in enacting these roles Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:58:55 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/10-catch-them-young-110911.asp As a medium of creativity cinema is one medium that does not have any parallels. No wonder, the medium of cinema has been all over the world to spread the message of diversity as also to inform the world about the existence of diverse cultures and practices. It is the leverage of the visual medium that is increasingly being utilized in serving the cause of education as well. In India however, cinema's outreach still is a matter of debate.

The change in the advertisement copies where married women were projected was noticed for the first time in the advertisement of a body deodorant. It had a symbolic connotation. However in the recently released advertisement of Mahindra Bolero where a lady in Mon, 9 Nov 2009 17:55:00 +0530 http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/09/nov/07-jail-and-the-projection-of-jails-in-indian-films-110907.asp Though JAIL has become a subject of the Hindi films after a long time when Madhur Bhandarkar has tried to focus attention on it, JAIL has indeed been an integral part of the Hindi films right from the time when Hindi cinema started making waves. For that matter even in the advertisements as well, JAIL has been used as a subject, underlining the subconscious association of JAIL with our psyche. After all, JAIL has been an integral part of our freedom struggle and there would be a family that does not have an association with the jail. Sat, 7 Nov 2009 14:29:16 +0530
